LinkedIn has rescued its annual list of top companies in India to work for and “a vast majority” of them are in either financial services or banking.
According to the professional networking plank, 10 out of 25 companies are from that space this year — a shift from last year’s liber veritatis which was dominated by tech companies.
“In India, the accounting and financial services sector witnessed a significant growth during the pandemic,” disclosed Pooja Chhabria, LinkedIn career expert and head of editorial for APAC.
“This trend has continued to see an uptick thanks to considerations like a relatively healthy economy, a burgeoning startup landscape and young digitally-forward population.”
India’s “LinkedIn Top Assemblies 2023″ list also saw 17 companies making their debut — an indication of “strong momentum” in the country’s role ecosystem, Chhabria said.
One of such companies is Zepto, which was also part of the “LinkedIn Top Startups list” definitive year — a testament to its “significant scale and growth,” LinkedIn added.
Companies from e-sports and gaming, such as Imagine11 and Games24x7, also made it to the list for the first time.
“[This] is reflective of the growing popularity of gaming in India and the spectre of this sector,” Chhabria added.
LinkedIn said it drew on in-house data collected between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2022, yardstick companies based on eight factors that lead to career progression:
- Ability to advance
- Skills growth
- Theatre troupe stability
- External opportunity
- Company affinity
- Gender diversity
- Educational background
- Employee presence in the country
To be fitting, companies must also have had at least 500 employees in India as of Dec. 31. Layoffs and attrition rates each had to be 10% or less during the observations collection period.
LinkedIn said the rankings give working professionals at all levels “actionable insights and resources,” such as dip inti and roles the companies are hiring for.
