Meet Tesla’s Indian-Origin CFO Vaibhav Taneja Who Earned More Than Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai In 2024
SHARE

Vaibhav Taneja, the Chief Financial Officer of Tesla and of Indian origin, had a remarkable earnings of $139 million in 2024, equivalent to around Rs 1,157 crore. His generous pay package was mainly driven by stock options and equity awards following his promotion in 2023, surpassing the earnings of several top tech CEOs.

While Mr. Taneja’s base salary was $400,000 (Rs 3.33 crore), his total compensation exceeded that of prominent tech figures like Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who earned $79.1 million (Rs 658 crore), and Alphabet Chief Sundar Pichai, who took home $10.73 million (Rs 89 crore).

At 47 years old, the executive, who joined Tesla in 2017, benefited significantly from the company’s rising stock price, which increased from around $250 (Rs 20,800) at the time of the award to $342 (Rs 28,400) by May 19, 2025. Despite facing challenges such as declining EV deliveries and profits, Tesla’s stock growth substantially boosted its equity-based pay.

Mr. Taneja’s payout now stands as one of the highest ever for a CFO, surpassing the previous record of $86 million (Rs 715 crore) set by Nikola’s CFO in 2020, before the company filed for bankruptcy in 2024.

  1. Vaibhav Taneja is a Chartered Accountant with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Delhi, as per his LinkedIn profile.
  2. He worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in India and the United States for 17 years (1999-2016).
  3. In March 2016, he joined SolarCity Corporation, where he held various roles including Vice President and Corporate Controller. Following Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity, he played a key role in integrating the accounting teams of both companies.
