The Indian startup ecosystem was busy churning out unicorns in the summer of 2021, and the initial public offerings (IPO) started raining during the monsoon season.

The first half of the year marked the public debut of gaming company Nazara Technologies and online travel agency EasyMyTrip. The second half has witnessed the jaw dropping performance of Zomato, which brought 80% premium to those who got shares in the IPO, and there are many more looking to tap the capital markets.

As part of the IPO prospectus, these companies reveal the remuneration paid to the top executives. Business Insider has compiled a list of founders in descending order of salaries that they have received in the last financial year. This is not an exhaustive list.
