22. Conclusion
 Salary increase trends show far greater optimism in the country as compared to the same
time last year – however it does not yet show a complete resurgence
 While India tops Asian markets on salary increases yet again, all Asian markets
have shown an increase in projections
 The composition of industries giving high salary increases has changed compared to earlier
years - this is on the back of resurgence in a few industries as well as the lack of increases
provided by companies in these sectors
 The trend of more distinct differentiation based on performance and potential continues this
year
 The incentive payout projected for FY 2015-16 has been distinctly higher than the previous
two years
 Attrition levels have slight changes in 2015-16 as compared to 2014-15 period and remain at a
moderately similar level as last year.
