India’s Great Mid-size Workplaces 2025

Backed by 30 years of data, Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture. Great Place To Work’s methodology, derived from years of studying the best workplaces across the globe, is recognised as rigorous and objective, and considered the gold standard for defining great workplaces across business, academia, and government organisations. Our proprietary methodology and platform enables leaders to capture, analyse and understand the experience of every employee, and compare outcomes with data collected from more than 100 million employees in 170 countries worldwide.

Great Place To Work’s For All™ Methodology is based on fast-changing competitive landscapes, the need for speed and agility, and the belief that a healthy business is about improving results by creating workplace cultures where leaders empower all individuals to reach their full potential and where every employee feels a sense of belonging regardless of their demographic.

All organisations that nominate themselves for  India’s Great Mid-size Workplaces lists undergo an assessment. This assessment aims to study the ways in which organisations fully channelise the people power and create inclusive workplaces through effective leadership, meaningful values, and a culture where all employees experience high levels of trust, enabling each employee to bring their best self to work.

As part of this assessment, all organisations are studied through two lenses. The first lens measures the quality of employee experience through a globally validated survey instrument known as the Trust Index™ Survey and carries 75 per cent weightage. The survey seeks anonymous feedback from employees and aims to measure the core of what creates great workplaces—key behaviours that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. The For All model not only looks at the aggregate employee experience of an organisation but also measures the differences in survey responses across demographic groups and roles within each organisation to assess both the quality and consistency of the employee experience.

The second lens is called Culture Audit™, carrying 25 per cent weightage. It is a proprietary tool of Great Place To Work that evaluates the strength of the leadership as supported by meaningful values, philosophy, and the quality of practices and programmes that shape employee experience, build consistent levels of trust and enable each individual to fulfil their potential to better organisational performance. This tool comprises six questions that provide greater insight into how and why the organisation is great for all people.

Great Place To Work undertakes a robust validation process on the data gathered through the assessment process. The cumulative score of the Trust Index and Culture Audit determines an organisation’s position in the ranking scoreboard. It helps identify India’s Great Mid-size Workplaces. No individual or jury has a say in who makes it to the Top 100 ranks—only employee feedback and the quality of Culture Audit determine if an organisation makes it to this prestigious list.
