Need negotiation tips

I got reached out for a role and during the first meet, I got asked my expected salary. I'm a grad and I said 12-14 lpa. The other person in the meeting smiled a bit and showed a bit of hesitation (I think) and said that I could always negotiate. So, high chance that he's trying to lowball me.

Now, the thing is, the startup's got like 7M in seed a funding and I also saw a college post saying that the company recruited a student from said college for a 26lpa package. Also it's a really small start-up.

I'm thinking of asking for 15+ now and would hence like some negotiation tips. Thanks.

If your role is senior to the other role, you can ask for more than 26 LPA and maybe cite that as an example as well.

I know someone who was lowballed for an SDE 3 role. He quoted multiple high salaries from Leetcode/Glassdoor and got it raised.

Depends on role. Are both the roles same?
