I have 15 years of experience working as C++ lead engineer with 40 LPA CTC in Bengaluru, India.
I have ~3 years of gap after my first job , which I did for 7 years.
How underpaid am I ?
What can I do about it ?

Please suggest

I think slightly underpaid. Maybe your pay should be 45lpa fixed. But then again, can't expect much from service companies

Move to product companies asap. That's the only way you can increase your pay without losing too much in terms of job security

Currently working in a PBC - Informatica,
I am also getting RSUs of ~4-5 LPA.
I think I need to switch.

Your pay is decent and above average for services but if you are in products space and really good at your work I would say you should get slightly more 10-15% more. If you crack Maang or niche company you can be paid a lot more.

Very true.
I am in PBC, additionally I get RSU worth around 5 LPA.
I need to switch.
