Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S's $22.5 million compensation for 2023 has sparked debate amid the company's 0.3% revenue decline to $19.4 billion. His package includes one-time awards like performance stock units and a cash sign-on bonus. The CEO pay ratio compared to employees in India is 1647:1. Previous CEO Brian Humphries received $4.2 million in 2023. CFO Jatin Dalal's target direct compensation was $5.2 million. The disparity in compensation, coupled with financial performance, has raised stakeholder concerns.
