What is open in India, by function

The same 1,044 mandates, cut by the chair rather than by the country. Rows with a page of their own are linked.

And by discipline

A discipline is the same market entered through the work rather than through the job title. A seat may appear under more than one.

What a free account opens, and what Foresight adds

Reading is free here, and that is not a trial — every one of these 1,044 briefs opens in full without paying. What a membership buys is the ability to act on them at volume, to reach the ones outside India, and to be found by them while you are working.

Counted against the 1,044 open India mandates on this page — 1,027 in India, 17 elsewhere. Prices are annual and all-inclusive, with GST already inside the figure shown; quarterly terms exist at a smaller allowance. Nothing on this page is behind any of them.

Read from the location on the mandate. A seat filed as a regional role with no city carries no city here, which is why these sum to less than the total.

What these seats pay

₹3.0 crore

median stated range, from 257 mandates that publish one in rupees

Only ranges stated in rupees are parsed, which is why a market outside India will often show no median at all: the boards there brief in their own currency, and converting a briefed range at today’s rate would turn somebody else’s number into ours. What decides a move is what remains after each market’s tax schedule and the cost of running a household in it, and that calculation is what the Career, Compensation and Global Mobility Strategy exists to do.

Open mandates in India

24 of 1,044. Title, market and engagement are open to everyone; the brief itself opens with a free account.

1,044 open in India. 459 urgent.

Reading costs nothing and always will. What a membership buys is the agent that watches while you work, the throughput to act on what it finds, and — outside India — the right to pursue these seats rather than only read them.
