The average pay in Bengaluru is ₹12 lakh. It is ₹9 lakh in Mumbai, ₹8.9 lakh in Delhi-NCR, ₹8.5 lakh in Hyderabad and ₹6.3 lakh in Chennai.

Health care and finance stood in the fourth and fifth categories.

The weighted average pay in the first three fields is ₹15 lakh, ₹12 lakh and ₹9 lakh respectively.
