The WSNE Hiring Index
Median advertised bands from 156 mandates across 18 Indian cities, most recent dated 5 August 2026. Not a survey and not a restatement of someone else’s report — these are the roles WSNE was engaged to fill, read straight from our own records.
| Role family | Median band (LPA) | Live mandates | Cities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales & Business Development | ₹3.5–5.1 | 26 | 15 |
| BPO & Customer Operations | ₹2.6–4 | 90 | 7 |
| Recruitment & HR | ₹2.5–3.7 | 15 | 6 |
How to read this
Each band is the median of the advertised minimums and the median of the advertised maximums across that family — not the outright lowest and highest, which would stretch from trainee to architect and mean nothing. Families with fewer than 4 mandates are excluded rather than shown on thin evidence.
This reflects what WSNE’s clients were paying for these mandates, not the whole Indian market, and the sample is real but modest. We would rather state the date and the size than imply a national survey.
