The median salary of IoT professionals for the year 2017 was found to be INR 15.2 lakh per annum across all experience levels and skill sets. IoT being a relatively new entrant, professionals in the area commanding higher salaries can be attributed to lack of readily available talent.
Interestingly, only 33% of IoT professionals have salaries under INR 6 lakh per annum as opposed to 58% in the IT sector. The study also highlights that 16% of IoT professionals in India earn in the salary bracket of INR 10-25 lakh per annum. This number for IT professionals is 17%.
The city-wise trend suggests that Delhi-NCR provides the highest salary in IoT at INR 17.3 lakh per annum, followed by Mumbai at INR 16.7 lakh per annum. The study also points that 44% of IoT professionals in Chennai earn less than INR 6 lakh per annum; followed by Pune, where around 39% professionals fall in the same bracket.
As for the experience level, almost 92% of freshers in the IoT field fall under the INR 6 lakh per annum salary bracket. A transition from each experience level bracket to a higher experience level can lead to an almost 50% jump in salary.
Salary trend by functional area in IoT domain indicates that a position in Application Programming pays an average of INR 11 lakh per annum, whereas a job in the Engineering Design and Systems Programming department pays INR 10.5 lakh and INR 8 lakh per annum respectively.
The study hints that IoT will account for over 10% of all data generated. With innovations in smart cities and in healthcare, IoT is likely to go mainstream in the coming future. According to the study, few of the job roles that will emerge in IoT are: Chief Internet of Things Officer, Robot Coordinator, Neural Implant Tech Expert and Ethics Officer, among others.
Sarita Digumarti, COO and Founder, Jigsaw Academy said, "I strongly believe that the IoT era is going to transform businesses and people everywhere, especially in India.
