On comparing similar-sized companies in the Indian Building industry with market capitalizations below ₹18b, we found that the median total CEO compensation was ₹3.6m. This suggests that Amrith Anumolu is paid more than the median for the industry.

Talking in terms of the industry, salary represents all of total compensation among the companies we analyzed, while other remuneration is, interestingly, completely ignored. Beardsell sets aside a smaller share of compensation for salary, in comparison to the overall industry.
