India’s Best Workplaces in Manufacturing 2026

Great Place To Work® invites applications from Manufacturing organizations to be assessed and evaluated for being considered among India’s Best Workplaces™ in Manufacturing. This is the 9th edition of the recognition.

This year, 361 organizations in the Manufacturing sector undertook this assessment as against 347 in the previous year. All these organizations underwent a rigorous assessment. As part of this assessment, the organizations are studied through two lenses. The first lens measures the quality of employee experience through our globally validated survey instrument known as Trust Index™ Survey. The survey helps in seeking anonymous feedback from employees and carries 75% weightage when being considered for the Best Workplaces lists. The second lens is called Culture Audit™, which is a proprietary tool of Great Place To Work that evaluates the strength of the leadership as supported by meaningful values & philosophy and quality of the practices & programs that shape employee experience, build consistent levels of trust and enable each individual to use their potential to better organizational performance. This carries 25% weightage.

Great Place To Work undertakes a robust validation process on the data gathered through the assessment process. The cumulative score of Trust Index and Culture Audit determines an organization’s inclusion in India’s Best Workplaces in Manufacturing List 2026. No individual or jury has a say in who makes it to the list – only employee feedback and quality of people practice determine if an organization is a great workplace.

This year, we are recognizing the 80 organizations who excel both in people practices that they have designed for their employees and act on the feedback to create a culture of trust. The list is published by categories: Large (Top 50) and Mid-size (Top 30). Large winner lists are published as Top 25 followed by Top 26 to 50 and Mid-size as Top 30 in alphabetical order.
