Infosys highest paid execs

BANGALORE: Million-dollar pay cheques no longer raise eyebrows in the Indian IT industry. Given the huge demand for high-quality professionals, some top-notch companies are willing to pay the big bucks.

Six employees of Infosys Technologies posted overseas earn $1 million annually, perhaps making the company the highest paymaster in the Indian IT industry.

According to sources, these six employees are neither part of the founding team and nor are they board members. In fact, they are business heads of the company’s different verticals. The list does not end here.

There are around five professionals who earn a package of $800,000 and about 25 professionals in the $500,000 bracket. In the case of Infosys, the differentiating factor is that they (employees) are professionals and are no way linked to the founder members.
