The company mandated us to provide talent for the Indian digital vertical. The talent needs required a talent pool of digital experts in the area of data scientist, data analytics and solution architects across technologies. The talent need was across the experience levels and seniority level of operational and leadership roles. All these roles were for the global digital internal customers of the company. The pay range varied with the highest pay for some roles up to INR 09 million per year.
