How much does Mukesh Ambani's driver earn?
Ambani's driver apparently earns an impressive ₹2 lakh per month, or ₹24 lakh annually, according to a 2017 viral video on social media. As that was seven years ago, the salary now is probably double the amount. According to many analysts, they charge such high salaries to the families of their masters, including the Ambanis, mainly because of their rigorous training. These drivers arrive fully trained to drive luxury and bulletproof automobiles that provide absolute safety and security to their passengers.
These professional drivers are typically hired from private recruiting agencies that dispatch them for training. Which private agency is used by the Ambani family remains unknown.
