How Does Total Compensation For Atul Mehta Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?
At the time of writing, our data shows that Compuage Infocom Limited has a market capitalization of ₹812m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of ₹17m for the year to March 2020. This means that the compensation hasn't changed much from last year. It is worth noting that the CEO compensation consists entirely of the salary, worth ₹17m.
For comparison, other companies in the industry with market capitalizations below ₹15b, reported a median total CEO compensation of ₹2.4m. Hence, we can conclude that Atul Mehta is remunerated higher than the industry median. Furthermore, Atul Mehta directly owns ₹189m worth of shares in the company, implying that they are deeply invested in the company's success.
| Component | 2020 | 2019 | Proportion (2020) |
| Salary | ₹17m | ₹17m | 100% |
| Other | - | - | - |
| Total Compensation | ₹17m | ₹17m | 100% |
On an industry level, it's fascinating to see that all of total compensation represents salary and non-salary benefits do not factor into the equation at all. At the company level, Compuage Infocom pays Atul Mehta solely through a salary, preferring to go down a conventional route. If salary is the major component in total compensation, it suggests that the CEO receives a higher fixed proportion of the total compensation, regardless of performance.
Compuage Infocom Limited's Growth
Over the past three years, Compuage Infocom Limited has seen its earnings per share (EPS) grow by 11% per year. Its revenue is down 15% over the previous year.
This demonstrates that the company has been improving recently and is good news for the shareholders. The lack of revenue growth isn't ideal, but it is the bottom line that counts most in business. While we don't have analyst forecasts for the company, shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Has Compuage Infocom Limited Been A Good Investment?
Given the total shareholder loss of 53% over three years, many shareholders in Compuage Infocom Limited are probably rather dissatisfied, to say the least. This suggests it would be unwise for the company to pay the CEO too generously.
In Summary...
Compuage Infocom rewards its CEO solely through a salary, ignoring non-salary benefits completely. As we touched on above, Compuage Infocom Limited is currently paying its CEO higher than the median pay for CEOs of companies belonging to the same industry and with similar market capitalizations. But the company has impressed with its EPS growth, but we cannot say the same about the uninspiring shareholder returns (over the last three years). Although we'd stop short of calling it inappropriate, we think Atul is earning a very handsome sum.

You’ve overlooked the activist investor factor. Travis Cocke’s Voss has announced 5% ownership through a 13G filing. They’ve added to that 5% since, and in doing so, have created a structural trap door for 27.42 Million Shares actively sold short. Chuck will announce lots of positives on July 29 but it’s what Voss announces shortly after that will rock the overextended Teledoc shorts. The Walmart partnership is the tip of the iceberg. The market is missing the sheer regulatory and enterprise friction of modern corporate healthcare. Teladoc isn't a "consumer app"; it is the primary digital infrastructure integrated directly into the legacy backends of Tier-1 insurance companies and fortune 500 employers, covering 105 million+ lives. Teladoc is acting as the digital top-of-funnel engine for the world's largest retailer. If Voss pushes the narrative that Teladoc is effectively the outsourced digital brain of Walmart's entire healthcare footprint, the fair value shifts from a basic health multiple to an enterprise distribution premium. Additionally , we are in a structural gold rush for high-quality, legally compliant, longitudinal medical data to train vertical healthcare AI models. Large technology hyperscalers and pharmaceutical giants cannot simply scrape the internet for this; they need structured clinical inputs. Teladoc sits on one of the largest de-identified virtual medical datasets on earth. From the activist playbook , we’ll see Voss demand the immediate creation of a Data & Diagnostics Licensing Division, transforming a legacy liability into an incredibly high-margin, pure-software data asset that requires zero human clinician hours to scale. Chuck is doing great work and deserves credi5 for the Teledoc turnaround but it will be Travis Cocke who will be responsible for a share price way beyond your $15 valuation.
