PE Comp in India

I have an offer to move from US IBD to Indian PE. I was wondering if any current Indian PE associates/VPs and above could provide some idea about the comp and progression? I presume it is much lower in USD terms but would be great to get some rough ranges.

Seriously? You gotta be racist to a guy asking for legit information? Damm WSO sometimes.

 

Mate if you just google "Private Equity Compensation in India", there are a couple of articles (Economic Times) and blogs (M&I & Wall Street Mojo Posts) on this topic. Some Quora posts as well but I'd take that info with a grain of salt. What I've heard is that you are def going to be taking a huge paycut and witnessing slow deal flow but it totally depends on the type and tier of fund you are joining. There could be others with more insights on this forum but very few Indian PE folks actually use this forum.
