Hi everyone,
I’m looking for realistic salary insights for Regulatory Affairs roles in the medical device industry in India.
I currently have ~6 years of experience working in Regulatory Affairs in the US medical device industry with strong exposure to both US FDA and EU MDR requirements. My work has included submissions, product registrations, technical documentation, labeling, change assessments, global regulatory support, and cross functional coordination with quality/engineering teams.
Due to visa related circumstances, I am considering relocating back to India, so I’m trying to understand the market practically from people already working there.
Would really appreciate insights on:
- Realistic salary ranges for someone with this profile
- Difference in pay between MNCs vs Indian companies
- Which cities currently have the strongest medical device RA market
- Current hiring trends and growth opportunities
- Overall work culture and work life balance in Indian medical device companies
Not looking for advice on whether I should move or stay in the US, as the relocation decision is already being driven by visa limitations. Mainly trying to understand compensation and career expectations realistically before making the transition.
Would especially appreciate responses from people currently working in Medical Device Regulatory Affairs in India or those who moved back from the US. Thanks a lot!
