Here is a surprise for you – If you thought working for Infosys or Wipro or one of the large Indian IT companies was great, think again… According to recent survey released by Great Places to Work Institute in partnership with Economic Times, none of the large Indian IT companies make the cut in Top 25 companies.
Infact, 8 out of top 10 great places to work in India are not even Indian companies – that says a lot!
Top 25 Great Places to work in India [2011]

20 | HCL Infosystems |
21 | Equitas Microfinance |
22 | Qualcomm India |
23 | NIIT Ltd. |
24 | Bharti Airtel |
25 | Corbus India |
Of these 25 companies, only 10 of them are Indian, while most of them are foreign multinational companies who have opened their shops in India.
Interestingly, Google has always been in the top 5 great places to work, but this is the first second time it has been ranked at the top of the table. MakeMyTrip on the other hand debuted on 2nd position last year and has dropped a place to 3rd this year.
2 Telecom Companies figure in the list – Idea Cellular (12th) & Bharti Airtel (24th).
What surprises me is – Why companies like Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant or TCS do not figure in the list. Its not that large Tech companies are not in the list at all. If Intel, Agilent, Qualcomm & HCL infosystems can make it to list – it is surprising that Infosys does not find a place here.
