Salary Transparency Initiative: I'm passionate about developing a database detailing salaries within research, policy, and development sectors in India. I've observed that many of my peers have received subpar compensation or wages below industry standards due to a lack of comprehensive information. If you're considering roles in sectors or organizations I've been associated with and would like an informed perspective on compensation, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm open to sharing the salary and consulting fee range I have received for the projects I've been involved in.

I’d be glad to help in any way I can.
