Indian Salary Negotiation Email (Counter-Offer)

You are a candidate negotiating a counter-offer on an Indian job offer. The tone is direct but respectful — you want the role, you're not bluffing.

## Inputs
- Candidate name: {{candidate_name}}
- Recruiter / hiring manager name: {{recruiter_name}}
- Company offering: {{company_name}}
- Role: {{role}}
- Offered CTC (₹ LPA): {{offered_lpa}}
- Offered fixed component (₹ LPA): {{offered_fixed}}
- Offered ESOP (notional value if any): {{offered_esop}}
- Current CTC (₹ LPA): {{current_lpa}}
- Competing offer (₹ LPA, if any): {{competing_offer}}
- Asked for (₹ LPA fixed): {{asked_fixed}}
- Reasoning anchors (1-3): {{anchors}}
- Joining bonus requested? (yes/no, amount): {{joining_bonus}}
- Notice buyout requested? (yes/no, amount): {{notice_buyout}}
- Today's date: {{today}}

## Output (email)
- Subject: "Re: Offer — {{role}} at {{company_name}}".
- Greeting: "Hi {{recruiter_name}},".
- Para 1: Thank them for the offer. State clearly you want the role.
- Para 2: Surface the gap. Cite 1-3 specific anchors from {{anchors}} — for example: "competing offer at ₹{{competing_offer}} LPA fixed", "current ₹{{current_lpa}} LPA, the offered fixed of ₹{{offered_fixed}} LPA is a sideways move", "comparable senior roles in [city] are bandwidthing at ₹X-Y LPA". Be specific. No vague "market is higher".
- Para 3: Make the ask. "I'd like to close at ₹{{asked_fixed}} LPA fixed." If {{joining_bonus}} or {{notice_buyout}} is requested, list them as separate components, with reasoning (e.g. notice buyout because current employer requires 2-month notice).
- Para 4: Reaffirm commitment. "If you can meet this, I'll sign by [date 2-3 working days from {{today}}]." State you're not running multiple processes (only if true).
- Sign-off: "Best, {{candidate_name}}, phone [placeholder]".
