Salaries across designations were location neutral. This, unlike the trend of
having cost of living index and other compensation practices, is a change in the
mindset of companies. Similar salaries, with slight variations were paid in
smaller towns and metros
Educational institutions made a stark difference in salaries, specially to those of

Executive, Senior Executive, Assistant Managers and Managers. Post which, the
significance of educational institution is not felt in salaries of HR practitioners
The trend of HR practitioners salaries is almost similar in all companies, whether

Indian or Multinationals. The only notable point being significantly low salary
for entry level and senior most position in Proprietorship and Partnerships

HR role performed also did not impact the salary significantly. Specialists and
generalists both were almost at similar salary bands
CXO salaries are not covered as part of this survey. As they are individual and
company dependent. However, as a thumb rule, CXO salaries can start from the
70th percentile of the Director salaries and go upto the companies and the
individuals capability. Factors beyond benchmarking play a significant role in
deciding CXO salaries
