Generative AI Salaries in India

This week, AIM embarked on a journey to explore generative AI salaries in India. Notably, large companies offer upwards of INR 1 crore annually for senior roles, while startups and mid-size firms shell out about INR 30-40 lakh. Meanwhile, major Indian IT companies, despite substantial generative AI training initiatives, are offering lower starting salaries of around INR 3-4 lakh. 

AIM noted that AI engineers with generative AI skills saw a significant 50% increase in their salaries. At companies like Accenture, a generative developer can earn about INR 8.5 lakh per annum, compared to the INR 5-6 lakh that regular software engineers make.
