The changing dynamics of the rich and famous is
causing a major shift in quality of security officers, bouncers and bodyguards.
Professionalism is increasing and the results are showing on the ground.
Few years back, anyone could be a bouncer and now only the best suited,
best build and smart looking muscular persons are being hired for celebrity bouncer work in Mumbai.
This shift has led to a big change in how the industry works and how we
perceive security. The respect for these men in improving and more people
are looking up at hiring such security teams for safety of their loved ones and
family members.
The charges haven't changed much but the best bouncers and bodyguards
are being paid more and hence the premium quality or the luxury level of
bouncers for VVIP and the rich businessmen is becoming expensive.
There are many security agencies that can provide security but only a
few can give quality bodyguards and security officers whether armed or unarmed.
The need for specialisation in this field was important and hence the newer
agencies are dealing only in high level of personnel and not guards per
se.
Celebrity bouncers are coming in many ranges, the charges for hiring are
not somewhat like this:-
1) Celebrity Bouncers Best in Class -Height 6"2 inches
Experience 5 years- Rs.4,000- Rs.8,000 per day
2) Celebrity Bouncers and Armed Security - Ex-Servicemen - Rs.7,000 -
Rs.12,000 per day
3) Celebrity Sniffer Dogs with handler - Rs.12,000- Rs.15,000 per day
4) Basic Bouncer - Rs.3,000 per day
The charges for duty are inclusive of meals, transportation and Taxes
including GST .
The financial capital of India also is increasingly hiring armed Ex-men
for security of Industrialists and corporate heads living in Mumbai.
Few things to be pointed for a efficient and safe hire of security in
India:-
1) Only Hire from a reputed company
2) Always verify documentation.
3) Always keep a copy of arms license in mail
4) Alway have back up contact of company
5) Make an informed choice when hiring
The new world of chaos and overpopulation is scary, requiring the few
fortunate ones to up their guard and have the best possible security officers
and close protection agents around their houses, offices and family members
every day, the whole year.
