Infosys CEO Salil Parekh’s salary rose about 22 per cent to Rs 80.6 crore in the last fiscal, compared to Rs 66.2 crore a year earlier, according to the company’s annual report.
Parekh’s pay consisted of a base salary of Rs 7.45 crore, a bonus of Rs 23.1 crore, and perquisites of Rs 49.5 crore due to his stock options. All components saw an uptick compared to a year before.
One of the reasons for Parekh’s high salary for FY25 is restricted stock units (RSUs). Parekh exercised higher RSUs in FY25.
Parekh, a former Capgemini veteran, is also the highest-paid executive in the Indian IT services industry. TCS CEO K Krithivasan saw his salary inch up by 4.6 per cent to Rs 26.5 crore, while Wipro chief Srini Palia earned about Rs 53.6 crore this year, which went up by 10 per cent.
