Challenges in Fair Compensation for Architects in Domestic and Corporate Firms in India.

Why do architects in India, both in unorganized domestic firms and organized corporate setups, often face low salary packages despite their creative and technical expertise? Is this due to systemic undervaluation of architectural services, intense competition driving down fees, or a focus on cost over quality by clients? How do differences between domestic and corporate firms impact compensation, and what steps can be taken to ensure better financial recognition for architects across the industry?
