I see India has more individual applicants?

Do other countries initially file for patents in the USA? Wondering why there’s such a huge country discrepancy (not the individual/company ratio specifically)

I am not an expert on Int’l patent filing but I think many companies apply for US patents after they file in their country. Looking down the list many developing countries only have private applicants. Probably they only file in US.
