Recognising Resilience in a Transforming Industry

In this era defined by disruption and reinvention, the IT & ITES sector has emerged as both a bulwark of stability and a catalyst of change. Its sheer scale, influence and impact on India’s economic trajectory position it as a powerful bellwether for the future of work. As leaders navigate generational workforce shifts, GenAI integration, rising focus on workforce well-being, and the emergence of nudgetech and ethical AI standards, one insight resonates above all: true organisational resilience is anchored in human-centric design.

It is this foundational belief that drives Most Preferred Workplace 2025–26 – IT & ITES Edition. Through a rigorous, insight-led methodology, the initiative spotlights brands and businesses that have transcended transactional change and invested in meaningful, people-first transformation. These are companies that have redefined employee engagement, reimagined workplace culture, and revitalised learning and capability-building in tune with tomorrow’s needs. By celebrating these future-forward employers, we’re not just recognizing excellence—we’re building a playbook for a more inclusive, purpose-driven, and sustainable future of work. As the sector evolves at pace, these are the organisations leading from the front—bold, empathetic, and resilient by design.
