How Does Total Compensation For Pramod Ranjan Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?
At the time of writing, our data shows that Oriental Hotels Limited has a market capitalization of ₹28b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of ₹25m for the year to March 2025. We note that’s an increase of 11% above last year. Notably, the salary which is ₹14.0m, represents a considerable chunk of the total compensation being paid.
On comparing similar companies from the Indian Hospitality industry with market caps ranging from ₹17b to ₹69b, we found that the median CEO total compensation was ₹49m. This suggests that Pramod Ranjan is paid below the industry median. What’s more, Pramod Ranjan holds ₹2.2b worth of shares in the company in their own name, indicating that they have a lot of skin in the game.
Component | 2025 | 2024 | Proportion (2025) |
Salary | ₹14m | ₹12m | 57% |
Other | ₹11m | ₹9.7m | 43% |
Total Compensation | ₹25m | ₹22m | 100% |
On an industry level, around 95% of total compensation represents salary and 5% is other remuneration. In Oriental Hotels’ case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. If salary dominates total compensation, it suggests that CEO compensation is leaning less towards the variable component, which is usually linked with performance.
Oriental Hotels Limited’s Growth
Over the past three years, Oriental Hotels Limited has seen its earnings per share (EPS) grow by 59% per year. In the last year, its revenue is up 20%.
Overall this is a positive result for shareholders, showing that the company has improved in recent years. It’s also good to see decent revenue growth in the last year, suggesting the business is healthy and growing. While we don’t have analyst forecasts for the company, shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Has Oriental Hotels Limited Been A Good Investment?
Boasting a total shareholder return of 145% over three years, Oriental Hotels Limited has done well by shareholders. So they may not be at all concerned if the CEO were to be paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.
In Summary…
The company’s solid performance might have made most shareholders happy, possibly making CEO remuneration the least of the matters to be discussed in the AGM. However, investors will get the chance to engage on key strategic initiatives and future growth opportunities for the company and set their longer-term expectations.
While CEO pay is an important factor to be aware of, there are other areas that investors should be mindful of as well. We did our research and spotted 2 warning signs for Oriental Hotels that investors should look into moving forward.

Radisson Hotels, THSC and The Job Plus Enable Hospitality Careers for Underprivileged Youth
Srinagar, 18 July 2025: As part of Radisson Hotel Group’s CSR initiative, the Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC), in collaboration with The Job Plus (Strategic Partner) and multiple training partners, has successfully trained and placed 308 underprivileged youth in hospitality job roles across India.
Among these, 70 youth from Jammu and Kashmir—trained by Arc Hospitality and Swale IT & Skills—have been placed in reputed hotel groups such as Radisson, Park Inn, and The Svelte. Out of them, 20 candidates were felicitated with offer letters during a special ceremony held at Radisson Hotel, Srinagar, on 18th July 2025. The event was presided over by Mr. K. B. Kachru, Chairman – South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, and a member of the Governing Body of the Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC), along with Mr. Rajan Bahadur, CEO, THSC.
Associations like the Hotel Association of India (HAI) also work closely with THSC to support industry-aligned skilling and placements.
In total, 308 candidates have been successfully placed in leading hospitality brands such as Radisson Hotels, Hilton, Conrad, The Oberoi, Lemon Tree, Holiday Inn, Sarovar Ahuja Residency, Amritara, Park Plaza, and Svelte. The placement drive reflects strong gender inclusivity, with 153 male candidates (49%) and 155 female candidates (51%) benefitting from this initiative.
This program stands as a shining example of industry-led skilling and employment, opening up dignified career paths for youth from underserved regions, including Jammu & Kashmir.
This initiative is a testament to the power of collaborative efforts between industry, strategic partners, and training providers. By bringing together corporate CSR support, expert implementation, and quality skill development, the program not only addresses the growing demand for skilled professionals in the hospitality sector but also provides life-changing employment opportunities to underprivileged youth. The success of this model paves the way for replicating similar high-impact skilling programs across other regions in India.
