If you are looking for salary benchmarks in India, check out this wonderful resource. Kelly Services is a leading international recruitment & staffing firm and they are deeply entrenched in India with offices in 12 cities. Kelly has released a Salary Handbook for India for 2008/09 that can serve as a very useful reference point for the latest salary trends & new job titles. They claim that the salary ranges in the handbook are a realistic representation of the jobs marketplace.
The handbook encompasses different areas – Banking & Finance, Engineering & Technical, Human Resources, Information Technology, ITeS – BPO, Logistics & Warehousing, Office Support, Sales & Marketing. It consists of job titles, suggested job descriptions along with the salary ranges.
The handbook is embedded in the form of a ppt below but it is available for download at the Kelly website.
I went through the handbook and it comes across as an excellent benchmark for salary data. The data looks fairly credible to me.
A big thanks to the company for releasing this publicly ( and free of charge)…

This was useful. Thanks Amit!
Well, the one class of people that the survey misses out on is the die hard techie. Unfortunately, there is no mention of a software/hardware engineer with > 7 years of experience. I guess we’re supposed to have moved onto being something else huh?
It also missed out the salary details of media people/journalist
This handbook severs as an excellent source of reliable information for us as a Human Resource Team of an Indian Multinational. Thanks a lot and Regards,
