As we approach FY 2025-26, the cost of talent acquisition in Gurgaon is undergoing a significant correction. For startups and established enterprises in hubs like DLF Cyber City and Udyog Vihar, the challenge has shifted from "hiring at any cost" to "hiring for ROI."
This detailed report provides a granular breakdown of Compensation Benchmarks for both IT and Non-IT verticals. We analyze not just the CTC (Cost to Company) but the market value of specific skill sets that drive business continuity.
