The data from US-based salary tracker 6figr revealed that the majority of Nvidia’s 10,000 India-based employees have received CEO Jensen Huang’s one-time special stock grant, with payouts ranging from over Rs 5 lakh to as much as Rs 1 crore over the grant period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Did This Happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the “Jensen Special Grant<\/a>,” it was rolled out in 2024 and it is a one-time stock award that provides employees an additional 25% of their initial restricted stock units (RSUs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grant vests over four years and its values determined in local currency and converted into US dollars at an exchange rate of Rs 82.9 per dollar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have allocated RSUs based on an average Nvidia share price of $898.2 and vest over four years, starting with 6.25% on Sept 18, 2024, followed by equal quarterly installments, ending in 2028. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A copy of the compensation letter is reviewed by the media. A mid-level employee in a solutions architecture role (IC2) received eight additional RSUs under the special grant, valued at about Rs 5.3 lakh at the time of allocation, in one instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allocation was in addition to an annual equity grant of 29 RSUs worth roughly Rs 21.5 lakh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country Is Hit By Fresh Wave of Dollar Millionaires<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The employee’s total unvested equity stood at 156 RSUs, valued at over Rs 1.2 crore as of April last year, underlining the growing importance of stock awards as a retention strategy, as per the document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the subject of the special grant and broader pay structure, the company’s spokesperson said, “As a policy, we don’t share or comment on employee compensation details.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that India is witnessing a fresh wave of dollar millionaires mainly driven by equity-led compensation at global semiconductor and AI firms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the Nvidia India, the stock-based pay can account for 50% to 75% of total compensation hence making it the primary driver of long-term wealth creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, equity grants often far exceed fixed salaries for mid- to senior-level roles, particularly in chip design and AI engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that the deep technical expertise, especially in hardware and AI, commands a significant premium over managerial tracks to the extent that the top engineers earn Rs 2-3 crore in annual compensation, as per information provided by the 6figr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
