COMPANIES SPECIAL ...LinkedIn Top Companies 2018: Where India wants to work now


LinkedIn Top Companies 2018: Where India wants to work now

Here are this year's top 25 companies in India.
PART III ( 19 TO 25)


19. PWC ACCOUNTING
Everyone's a winner: With a client list that includes 419 of the global Fortune 500 companies and a history that stretches back to when Charles Dickens ruled the bestseller list, PwC stands out among the Big Four firms — also when it comes to perks. From Flexible Fridays and Go Do It days (to address urgent personal matters) to preferential cabs for expecting mothers, the company makes sure employees’ needs aren't put on the back burner.
Global headcount: 236,235
Young guns: PwC's NextGen Sounding Board comprises 200 millennial employees who participate in policy creation for the company. All new and revised people policies are first taken to this group.


20. GOLDMAN SACHS
Hallowed corridors: The glamorous investment bank is betting big on India — its new $250 million Bangalore campus, with a capacity to seat 9,000 people, would be the biggest office outside New York. Goldman, famously, takes care of its employees with perks like onsite pilates and Tai Chi clubs and amenities such as a 7,300-square-feet daycare centre for employees' kids in Bangalore.
Global headcount: 35,623
Cause and effect: Every year, Goldman Sachs analysts and associates compete to identify and secure grants for non-governmental organisations. Those with marathon muscles can participate in the Trailwalker 100-km race, which raises funds for marginalised communities around the world.


21. SHELL OIL & ENERGY
Energising growth: Royal Dutch Shell is well-positioned to benefit from the oil industry’s recovery after a three-year downturn. It more than doubled its profit in the December quarter. Shell employs as many as 6,000 people across a tech hub in Bangalore, a business operations centre and an in-house IT centre. It also holds a 32.5% stake in Mahanagar Gas, which operates Mumbai’s natural gas distribution network.
Global headcount: 92,000
Funding innovation: The oil major has launched a pan-India accelerator for energy startups, where it will provide technical and commercial mentorship and an investment of up to $20,000 to promising early-stage ventures.


22. JP MORGAN CHASE & CO. FINANCIAL SERVICES
Banking on great tech: JPMorgan Chase & Co., a leading banking and financial services firm, has delivered record results seven of the last eight years. CEO Jamie Dimon attributes the company's success to key investments in "people, systems and products". The firm spends billions of dollars each year maintaining and upgrading its technology; so while it needs to hire bankers, accountants and salespeople, it also has many openings for infrastructure engineers, mobile UX designers and data analysts.
Global headcount: 240,000
Rewarding stakeholders: Employees stick around for seven years on average, according to LinkedIn data. The reasons are many, including perks such as back-up child care services and discounts on banking services, electronics and travel.

23. UNILEVER COMSUMER GOOODS
Top of the pile: Few companies can match the ubiquity of Unilever products. They are in your kitchen (Lipton and Kisan), bathroom (Dove and Axe) and dressing table (Elle 18, Brylcreem). Hindustan Unilever Ltd, the local subsidiary, exerts similar dominance — it claims to sell nine out of 10 products that Indian households use. Ensuring the company doesn’t lose this primary position requires agility and decision-making ability at all layers, which is why Unilever’s ‘Future Leaders Programme’ takes entry-level employees and trains them to become managers in two to three years.
Global headcount: 169,000
Incentives galore: If Unilever claims to be the “top FMCG employer of choice in 34 of the 60 countries it recruits from”, that’s also because of incentives like mediclaim, meditation and yoga classes and low-cost quality education for employees' children.

24. RELIANCE INDUSTRIES OIL & ENERGY
Refining its focus: For a legacy organisation founded four decades ago, Reliance isn’t falling behind. Take, for example, the Jio office in Navi Mumbai – a company full of people in their 20s and 30s disrupting every part of the telco’s operations. With the refinery and petchem business going strong and Jio continuing to wrest market share from incumbents, chairman Mukesh Ambani and team have room to explore the new – whether it’s foraying into the crypto world, accelerating startups through GenNext Hub or investing in early-stage ventures.
Global headcount: 34,120
Break a sweat: Reliance’s offices house football and cricket stadiums with floodlights, LED scoreboards and arena seating, as well as other outdoor sports like tennis and basketball.


25. DELOITTE INDIA MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
Great DNA: William Deloitte was the first accountant ever appointed as an independent auditor of a public company (Britain's Great Western Railway in 1849). Today, this Big Four firm does so much more than audits — including A.I., M&As and cybersecurity. This year, Deloitte plans to make 70,000 hires across the 150 countries and territories it operates in.
Global headcount: 263,900
Family first: Deloitte has a 16-week family leave option that can be tapped into when employees have a child, need to care for an ailing spouse or partner, or look after a parent.
