In case people were wondering about the x-axis: LPA = laks (in Indian rupees [IDR]) per annum

1 laks IDR = 1.3k USD = 1.1k EUR = 0.98k GBP

The right most tick on the axis, 70 LPA, is about 94k USD/year.

It seems that the developer wages in India are higher than much of SE Asia.

I wouldn't say salaries are better in India than SE Asia in general. Just as glassdoor ratings are biased(given by folks who either loveee or hateee the company), same applies here. People who have posted the offers much be pleased with the offer in general so it must be right skewed AFAIK.

Indian Rupee is INR (₹).

Definitely not IDR. That’s Indonesian.

Oops. Thanks for the correction. The currency conversion in my previous comment is still correct, though.
