Connecting India to its dreams

The awards showcased the companies that new-age India wants to work with. Companies that have nailed employer branding, soared over their competitors and became the favourites of the new generation of employees. These companies reflect India’s aspirations, and while they are putting India on the global map, they are also garnering respect from their employees. AmbitionBox has been highlighting this for years through its platform.

Alongside this, AmbitionBox also aimed to connect good talent with companies. Wrong hiring decisions can cost India’s leading companies billions of dollars annually, and it has become critical to ensure that suitable candidates know about the right companies and their cultures. To that end, a positive employer brand can help companies overcome competition and win the war for talent.
