The top executives who are being brought in to the country are offered anywhere between Rs 1 crore and Rs 5 crore. “People who went to the US 10-15 years ago to work in Silicon Valley companies now want to come back for various reasons, both personal and professional,” said Krishna Kumar, founder, Simplilearn.He added that money or perk are not the reason senior people are willing to work in this fledgling industry.
