India UX Salary & Hiring Data Sheet

The Indian UX job market restructured - job postings fell 71% from the 2022 peak while 82% of design leaders say demand for designers grew. Knowing where you stand in that restructuring starts with knowing the actual numbers.

We compiled the data behind our market analysis - and more we couldn't fit - into one sheet, built from Recrew, Glassdoor, AmbitionBox, Lightcast, and our own data from 140+ mentored designers. The version you'll download reflects September 2026 market conditions, and we update it quarterly.
