Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
