How Does Total Compensation For Anil Dua Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

At the time of writing, our data shows that Dish TV India Limited has a market capitalization of ₹22b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of ₹41m for the year to March 2020. That is, the compensation was roughly the same as last year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at ₹34.2m constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.

In comparison with other companies in the industry with market capitalizations ranging from ₹15b to ₹58b, the reported median CEO total compensation was ₹47m. From this we gather that Anil Dua is paid around the median for CEOs in the industry.

On an industry level, roughly 98% of total compensation represents salary and 2.3% is other remuneration. In Dish TV India's case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. If salary dominates total compensation, it suggests that CEO compensation is leaning less towards the variable component, which is usually linked with performance.

A Look at Dish TV India Limited's Growth Numbers

Over the last three years, Dish TV India Limited has shrunk its earnings per share by 82% per year. It saw its revenue drop 28% over the last year.
