Hello Ted:

So far, I have found median salaries for these positions in Chennai: 

IT Team leader  

Project Manager

Quality Assurance

And the median salary, across India, for these:

Developer

Senior Developer

I'm afraid I've hit a roadblock on the other jobs you specified. Would
what I've found be sufficient for an answer?

Best regards,

This is a good answer.  One last classification that I am looking for
is the "Head of Development Operation (acts as lieutenant to the team
and
corporate office)"  This role may earn more than $60,000+ and looking
for the average in Chennai as well as the Indian average.

Clarification of Answer by umiat-ga on 21 Nov 2005 11:30 PST
I am unable to find any position with that title. Are there any other
keywords that might help? I might be able to find something comparable
if I know the industry involved, but it is unlikely. Nevertheless, I
will try if I have a bit more to go on!

Clarification of Answer by umiat-ga on 21 Nov 2005 11:43 PST
If you would rather not divulge what industry you are involved with,
you might want to play with potential job positions on the Placement
India website. I checked under variations of the postion you
highlighted - Head of Development Operations, Head of Development,
Head of Operations - for India, but found nothing close. Have a look
at the site and see if it is helpful to you:

How about the title of: VP Product Development.  This position is in
the software development sector for financial securities

Clarification of Answer by umiat-ga on 21 Nov 2005 15:29 PST
I am very sorry, but after additional exploration, I could find no
companies that disclosed salaries for top level positions. Payscale
does not offer median salary information for any other positions than
those in my original answer. Further searching on several other
employment databases to gather a rough idea of salaries being offered
at the executive level all turned up a big, fat, zero! There are
similar descriptions for a VP of Product Development, but the salary
is termed "negotiable."
