Ravi Kumar, CEO of Cognizant Technology Solutions, earned $10.7 million in realised compensation for 2025, a 30% increase from $8.2 million in 2024. His total reported salary was $21.5 million, but the realised compensation was lower due to performance-based stock awards that will vest in future years. The compensation committee set his target pay for 2025 at $19 million, reflecting an 18% increase from the previous year. Cognizant attributed this compensation increase to strong performance metrics, including a 7% revenue growth, reaching over $21 billion, and improved operating margins. The company also reported a 5% rise in trailing 12-month bookings and a nearly 50% increase in the total contract value of large deals exceeding $100 million. Additionally, the voluntary employee attrition rate fell to 13.9% at the end of 2025, down from 15.9% in 2024, with over 340,000 employees completing AI training in the past two-and-a-half years. The CEO-to-median employee pay ratio stood at 477:1, compared to a 153:1 ratio for median US employees, highlighting significant disparities in compensation.
