Out of 1500, I would say 1400 employees need to be paid around INR 10000 approx. This should equal about $200 per month per person. The rest would be better paid professionals like software programmmers, etc

A couple grand a month is more than sufficient pay in many parts of India. Heck, it's enough for new police officers in New York City (ok, I'm ignoring payroll tax and insurance for this one).

The average pay for hotel staff and call center operators is around Rs. 25,000 here, with junior pay starting at Rs. 15,000. That works out to less than $400 either way.
