Hi,So what? An employee working for the same BPO / software company in India gets paid less than his counterpart in US. Even offsetting the lifestyle and cost of living allowances, it becomes like mere outsourcing for cheap labour. Should WMF consider cost cutting and out source this work to some other country :) ? 2 lakh INR comes around 3000 USD which is a decent salary for a mid level employee in US. For a national program like CIS - A2K, salaries in this range is acceptable.
//Well, salaries upto 2 lakh _per month_ with additional allowances for expenses on domestic and international travel is pretty huge for India. Reading from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WMF-A2K_Grant_Budget_and_Utilization_Sept12_-Feb13.pdf //
