An Indian software professional working in New York, earning approximately $105,000 (₹88 lakh) annually, sparked curiosity on social media when asked if she’d consider moving back to India for the same salary. Piyush Monga, the creator behind the Instagram page salaryscale, shared a video capturing this conversation. In the clip, he asks the woman whether she’d return to India if her income remained unchanged.
Her quick response—“I would go back to India”—left viewers surprised, generating over 150,000 views and hundreds of likes. About her salary she says, "It's good for the basics but I am always looking for more." "Back to India? Is this for real? Times are crazy #reverseimmigration," Piyush Monga wrote in the caption The woman, who works in supply chain management for a pharmaceutical company, has five years of experience.
Despite her six-figure income, she admits that salary in the US only covers basic needs, and she’s actively aiming for more. She also revealed her educational background—holding a bachelor’s degree in computer science engineering followed by a master’s in supply chain analytics.
