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, Osia Hyper Retail pays Dhirendra Chopra solely through a salary, preferring to go down a conventional route. If salary dominates total compensation, it suggests that CEO compensation is leaning less towards the variable component, which is usually linked with performance.
