Question by Raghvendra on Oct 30, 2023Hindi

What is the potential salary for fresher and experienced HR in Indian companies?

Ans: Hi Raghvendra,

The salary for HR professionals in India can vary significantly depending on several factors such as the location, industry, company size, and individual qualifications and experience.

Fresher HR Professionals:
Entry-level HR positions, such as HR assistants or HR coordinators, can typically expect a starting salary of around INR 2.5 to 4 lakhs per annum.
Some companies in metropolitan areas may offer slightly higher starting salaries, but it can vary widely.

Experienced HR Professionals:
The salary for experienced HR professionals can vary greatly based on their years of experience, the size and reputation of the company, and their specialized skills.
HR Generalists with 3-5 years of experience can earn anywhere from INR 5 to 10 lakhs per annum.
Senior HR Managers with 8-10 years of experience may earn between INR 10 to 20 lakhs per annum.
HR Directors or HR Heads in larger organizations can command salaries ranging from INR 20 lakhs to several lakhs per annum.

These are approximate figures and can vary. Additionally, the salary for HR professionals can be influenced by the cost of living in the specific city or region where they work. Metropolitan areas like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore often offer higher salaries compared to smaller towns and cities.

It's also important to consider that HR roles can be quite diverse, including areas like recruitment, compensation and benefits, employee relations, talent development, and more. Specialized roles may command higher salaries based on the demand and expertise required.

Best regards,
Abhishek Shah

Question by Anonymous - Dec 08, 2021Hindi

Dear Mr Mayank, First of all, I would like to keep my question anonymous. I have relocated to India in the past month after spending around 20 years in the Middle East. I worked as a HR manager in an MNC for the past many years but had to leave due to difficulties in the market situation after the pandemic. Additionally, my entire experience is in the Middle East. I have been applying for related jobs in HR here but to no avail. I have completed my MBA on a part-time basis from an Indian university while I was working in the Middle East. I have certification from HRCI for SPHRi and have additionally completed HRBP training from AON. Do you think my lack of Indian experience and lack of a full-time MBA will be a hurdle for getting a good offer from companies?

Ans:

I don't think that would be a major hurdle.

You have done some very relevant courses/certifications that will help you perform well in your role.

Also, geography does not play a ‘make or break’ role in getting a job, especially in HR.

The cultural dimensions in the Middle East are similar to India.

I would say remain positive and connected. Look at companies that have operations both in India and the Middle East and target them in order to get a job faster.
