BANGALORE,INDIA: iGATE Corporation, the integrated Technology and Operations (iTOPS) company announced today that its subsidiary, iGATE Global Solutions Ltd, has been ranked the top IT employer in India in the 8th annual survey conducted by CyberMedia’s flagship publication Dataquest and IDC.

Culled from India’s extensive IT industry, the Top 20 Best IT Employers are chosen based on 11 components of human resources and employee satisfaction. With employee strength of approximately 6500, iGATE ranked much higher in the survey than other multinationals and large companies in India’s IT industry.

The Dataquest-IDC (DQ-IDC) survey report states that iGATE “improved its ranking to emerge as the best IT employer in India”.

Last year, iGATE was ranked third in the survey, said a press release. This year, it rose to be the top employer due to a combination of unique employment benefit programmes, coupled with a state of the art career planning initiative and home grown leadership development model.

“Being ranked as the best employer in this year’s DQ-IDC survey is an endorsement of our systematic approach to people management policies, practices and processes,” said Srinivas Kandula, global head-human resource, iGATE Global Solutions.

“This recognition is a result of our persistence and commitment to creating a world class human resource system that is capable of responding to the different motivations of a global workforce,” he added.

“Consistency is a virtue. And we are immensely pleased that we have been rated highly by Dataquest-IDC’s Best IT Employer Survey two years in a row,” said Phaneesh Murthy, CEO, iGATE Corporation.
