The Bengaluru talent market

Bengaluru is the country's centre of gravity for product engineering, startups and global capability centres. Nowhere else in India offers comparable depth in senior engineering, product management and data talent.

Depth does not mean ease. Candidates here typically run several processes at once, expect a compressed interview loop and treat counter-offers as routine. Speed and clarity of process are competitive advantages in Bengaluru in a way they are not in most other Indian markets.

Compensation note

Bengaluru sets the national benchmark for technology compensation. Expect the highest offers in India for engineering, data and product roles, with equity a standard component at senior levels.
