How much do entry level partners make at Indus? Would be interesting to see since they are now being touted as a new a tier 1 firm.

Kian, a salary survey would be good in these times. It’s been long.

Indus pays poorly compared to tier 1. They hire from Tier 2/3 firms as they can't afford better. SA makes 30, PA makes 40 and P makes 70. The work culture is good though

Vasavi is a great lawyer. She is a rising star one should keep an eye out for. Having worked with her as a client, she inspires confidence and trust that your transaction is looked after.

Way to go!
