Not totally true. These scientists do make quite a lot of money. Also, their life is well set - they get cheap housing, cheap food, cheap consumer goods, free healthcare, etc., Even in terms of Indian standards, these scientists get ridiculous subsidies for everything so much so that they can simply put all their money in a bank without any living expenses. Not to mention other benefits like an official car with a driver, VIP status (if you are level E or above), etc., If all you measure is money, maybe they can't match up with any scientist working in the US. If you measure by living standards, they are much better off.

- harigov 10y agoThat is one more thing that these folks from ISRO and big Indian organizations enjoy. They are usually out of cities and are completely self-sufficient. You rarely if ever get out of your organizational town, and the town itself has lots of greenery.
