NEGOTIATION TIPS
  • Anchor on the median (₹26.4 LPA) — say “market data puts this role at this number”.
  • Push for the P75 (₹38.4 LPA) if you bring referenceable impact.
  • Quantify your last 12 months — savings, revenue, scale numbers. Specificity beats vague claims.
  • Get competing offers if possible — even one strong alternate moves the needle.

About these market bands

Bands are anchored to Bangalore product-company medians and adjusted by city (Bangalore = 1.0, Mumbai = 0.95, Delhi/NCR = 0.90, Hyderabad = 0.85, Pune/Chennai = 0.80, others = 0.70) and company tier (FAANG/BigTech = 1.8x, Unicorn = 1.4x, Product = 1.2x, BFSI = 1.1x, Consulting = 0.9x, IT Services = 0.75x).

Percentile is interpolated between the P25, P50, P75 and P90 anchors for your specific role and experience bucket. If you sit below P50, the tool surfaces negotiation tips anchored on the local median for your peer group.
