Why Even 30% CEO Pay Cuts Can't Save IT Salaries | TCS Case, Conversion- Exit IT NOW

Just cut CEO salaries and pay engineers more! Sounds simple, right? I did the math with real data from Infosys. Even a 30% pay cut for all top executives would only raise fresher salaries by 6%—from ₹3.6 to ₹3.8 lakh. Here's why the problem is much bigger than executive greed. Also, recent industry cases have exposed why it's time to either fight for your rights or leave for GOOD. Don't tolerate any form of disrespect, harassment, or workplace oppression from people of a particular community. Stand up for yourself if you are a girl. ⚡ THE INFOSYS CASE STUDY (FY25 Data): CEO earns ₹80.6 crore (752× median employee) 30% cut across all executives = ₹41.43 crore saved Divided among 17,500 freshers = +₹23,671 per person (6% raise) To pay all at ₹6L would cost ₹42 crore = 0.026% of revenue Verdict: Companies CAN afford it, but don't have to because... 📊 THE REAL PROBLEM (2024-2025 Data): 1.5 million engineering graduates annually Only 250,000-350,000 jobs available 5:1 oversupply = zero bargaining power ₹3.6 LPA frozen since 2014 (11+ years) 72% inflation = 42% real wage decrease Even industry-ready graduates (45%) fight for limited spots 🔍 WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS: The CEO Pay Cut Hypothesis The Oversupply Machine: 1.5M vs 250K Infosys Executive Pay: The Real Numbers The Quality Crisis: Why 55% Can't Get Hired Anyway Why ₹6 Lakh Still Isn't Good in 2025 Why the Government Won't Close Colleges What Actually Works: Supply-Demand Positioning 💡 KEY INSIGHTS: -Executive pay IS high, but it's NOT the root cause Market power: 10 candidates per job = employers set terms Double crisis: Oversupply (too many seats) + Under-skilled (poor quality) Even with perfect redistribution, it only helps 17,000 out of 1.5 million -Real solution: Position yourself where supply is less than demand 📈 SOURCES & DATA: -Infosys Annual Report FY25 (Executive compensation) AICTE 2024 (Engineering capacity: 3,500 colleges, 1.76M seats) Business Standard April 2025 (TCS: 40K, Infosys: 20K hiring) Statista/Wheebox 2024 (64% employability, 45% industry-ready) TeamLease Sept 2024 (Only 10% secure jobs) PIB India 2025-26 (CPI inflation data) 🎯 THE SPECIALIZATION STRATEGY: Examples of supply-demand arbitrage: Generic B.Tech CSE: 500K supply, 100K demand = ₹3.6L Engineering + German: 5K supply, 20K demand = ₹8-15L Cloud Architecture: 50K supply, 80K demand = ₹8-15L DevOps/SRE: High demand, limited qualified candidates ⚠️ CLARIFICATION: This is NOT a defence of high executive pay. The data shows companies absolutely CAN afford to pay better—Infosys could pay ₹10L+ without denting profitability. But they won't because oversupply gives them market power. Executive pay cuts alone won't solve oversupply. Both issues are real, but one is structural, and one is greed. 💬 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Have you considered specialising to escape the oversupply trap? What's your current salary and year of graduation? Do you think the government should cap engineering seats? 📌 NO CLICKBAIT: I show the actual calculations.
