I'm planning to start looking out for a new gig once I complete 6 months in my current company (mainly to increase my salary). What excuse should I give to the prospective recruiters for switching so soon?

I would ask why you are looking so soon. Not the right environment because of A,B,C works. If you do this a lot though that will hurt you.

Reason for leaving:
Insatiable greed and hubristic ambition

If you like the job, why would you leave just for money? There are plenty of bad jobs out there. At a good job, you can work toward a raise. At a bad job, the money will never make up for the pain. What I’m saying is, the idea of leaving at six months for more money is either foolish or not the real reason.

The scope of growth here isn't great either

Hello Fishes,
I have an offer from Deloitte USI for Assistant Manager role.
