A moderate slowdown is indicated by the projected 9.4% overall salary increment for 2025, which is marginally less than the 9.6% increase in 2024.
The exception is still e-commerce, which continues to see significant pay increases as a result of industry expansion.
Salary trends are steady in other industries like manufacturing, financial services, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles.
Companies are dedicated to keeping talent by offering competitive compensation, even in the face of the slowdown in salary growth.
The lack of qualified workers in vital sectors like IT and energy is a significant problem for companies.
