WITCH(Wipro, Infosys,TCS...) Companies used to charge clients CAN $ 26 an hour for 8 hours 24 days a month. I convert that to rupee makes nearly 2.76 lakh per month. WITCH Company paid 24-26 thousand a month to it's employees.

A good product based company pays nearly 80-120k rupees per month which is quite less than TCS Charges the client.

Have to use Loom for this. I know with Loom you can do just video but would it be wise to make something for alongside it too? Like a PP - or is this too much? Want to go above and beyond as I love this role! Thanks!
