Mumbai has been ranked as the 5th highest paying city in India for top tech positions after Bengaluru, Gurgaon, Delhi and Hyderabad. This has been highlighted in a new report by Teamlease Digital, ‘Digital Skills and Salary Primer for FY 2025’.

Among the most popular tech jobs in Mumbai, product management, data science and data engineering lead the way, offering impressive pay packages of around Rs 19.5 lakh per annum, Rs 14.5 lakh per annum and Rs 10 lakh per annum respectively. Notably, these three major occupations have shown steady annual growth at all levels from FY24 to FY25, with increases of 7 percent to 11 percent especially for senior positions.
