TIME and Statista have released the inaugural list of the Best Employers of 2025, determined through independent employee surveys conducted globally. In India, 800,000 employer evaluations were gathered, and the top 600 companies were ranked based on employee recommendations. The list is dominated by the IT, software, and services industry, followed by banking and financial services, and then construction, chemicals, and raw materials.
The top employer in India is CBRE, a real estate services provider that has been operating in the country for over 30 years. With over 13,000 employees across 17 offices, CBRE works with governments, institutions, and companies on various projects, including business research for airports. According to Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO of CBRE for India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, the company has come a long way since its early days in India, when attracting talent was a significant challenge.
CBRE has implemented various initiatives to attract and retain talent, including internships and training programs. The company partners with local universities to upgrade the skills of its current employees, enabling them to keep pace with the changing real estate market, which is being influenced by factors such as artificial intelligence (AI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations.
The ranking of the Best Employers of 2025 is based on employee surveys, which provide valuable insights into the work environment, company culture, and employee satisfaction. The list aims to recognize and reward companies that prioritize their employees’ well-being and provide a positive work experience. By acknowledging the top employers in India and other countries, TIME and Statista hope to promote best practices in employment and encourage companies to strive for excellence in their treatment of employees.
The full list of the Best Employers of 2025 is available, providing a comprehensive overview of the top companies in India and other countries. The list is expected to serve as a valuable resource for job seekers, employees, and employers alike, highlighting the importance of creating a positive work environment and prioritizing employee satisfaction.
