How Does Janumahanti Rao's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that Mold-Tek Technologies Limited is worth ₹1.5b, and total annual CEO compensation is ₹5.5m. (This number is for the twelve months until March 2018). We think total compensation is more important but we note that the CEO salary is lower, at ₹2.4m. We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations under ₹14b, and the median CEO total compensation was ₹1.4m.

Has Mold-Tek Technologies Limited Been A Good Investment?

We compared total CEO remuneration at Mold-Tek Technologies Limited with the amount paid at companies with a similar market capitalization. As discussed above, we discovered that the company pays more than the median of that group.
However, the earnings per share growth over three years is certainly impressive. Having said that, shareholders may be disappointed with the weak returns over the last three years.
