These are the best tech companies to work for in India
15 December, 2018
India may be steaming ahead when it comes to technological innovation, but top local tech talents would still rather work at one of the multinational companies in the country than a homegrown firm.
That's according to a new study from jobs site Indeed. Based on the site's database of employee feedback, including company ratings, number of reviews and history of job openings, it found that job-seekers in India's tech sector were more positive about working with international firms than local names.
Of the 15 leading companies named in this year's list, the majority were multinationals — including the top five. Just three companies on the list originate from India. Some of the international companies that made it into the list include names like Microsoft, SAP and Apple.
To be sure, big name companies have a certain allure for aspiring techies the world over. However, Sashi Kumar, managing director of Indeed India, said in a news release that the findings also indicate a desire among employees to work for a business with clear progression structures in place and a positive overall workplace environment.
"In addition to strategic and meaningful workplace programs, companies that have focused on people management and contributed to creating a conducive environment for their employees have been highly rated by job seekers," said Kumar.
"Apart from competitive remuneration, companies that work to make their employees feel like they work with, and not for the company, create a culture of ownership and instill a sense of loyalty in their employees," he added.
Tata Consultancy Services is an information technology, consulting and business solutions company. It is a subsidiary of multinational conglomerate Tata Group, which is made up of 29 publicly listed enterprises including Tata Steel, Jaguar Land Rover owner Tata Motors and Tata Communications.
The company consistently ranks highly among tech employers in India and has expanded its corporate responsibility program for employees over recent years.
