#294 Top 25 Company to work in

Research done on Gen Y shows it is interested in workplaces that are clear leaders in learning, and offer roles that aid their development, roles that involve stretch," says Nishchae Suri, Country Head of People and Change Practice, KPMG India. Of course, workplaces are not peopled only by this age group. But the fact that 74 per cent of respondents to Business Today's 12th "Best Companies to Work For" survey were less than 35 years old means their attitudes and concerns were well captured.

The younger respondents, not surprisingly, rated internet giant Google at the top, followed by technology and consultancy services firm Accenture. For the older generation, the world of best workplaces is different. Respondents between 46 and 55 years of age ranked Larsen & Toubro as the best company to work for, with ABB at No. 2, while Google and Accenture came in at Nos. 9 and 10.

These and many more such insights are captured in the study, based on an open, online survey carried out using Naukri.com's database . The survey tries to capture how employees of companies in India perceive workplaces, what they aspire to, and to understand their key concerns and drivers at work. This year, four million potential respondents were targeted, of which 6,310 participated in the survey.
