What the ₹14L median hides
Data Scientist salary growth in Delhi follows a non-linear curve: the jump from ₹6L to ₹13L takes 2–3 years, but crossing ₹17L often requires a specific catalyst — a high-visibility project, a company switch, or a verifiable skill demonstration (video portfolio, published work, open source). Passive waiting rarely gets you past ₹14L.
Why the salary range is 114% wide
The 114% spread between the floor (₹6L) and ceiling (₹22L) isn't noise — it's a structural split between two hiring markets that happen to share the same job title. IT services and outsourcing companies hire Data Scientists at ₹6–12L because they bill offshore. Product-first companies and funded startups compete globally for the same engineers and pay ₹15–22L. Targeting company type narrows the effective range to ₹4–6L — which makes salary negotiation much more predictable.
