The Best (and the Worst) Companies to Work for in India in 2025 — Revealed!
Thinking of switching jobs in 2025? Blind, the anonymous community app for professionals, has just dropped its hotly anticipated list of India’s best and worst companies to work for—and it’s full of surprises that go beyond fat paychecks.
🚀 The Best Workplaces in India – Culture Beats Cash
Leading the charge in employee happiness are companies like Target, NVIDIA, American Express, Akamai Technologies, and Harness. These names are joined by other powerhouses including Apple, ServiceNow, Google, VMware, Meta, EPAM Systems, Chargebee, Zoho, Pure Storage, and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
What’s interesting? While you’d expect Google and Apple to score big (and they do), lesser-known players like Harness and Chargebee are getting employee love for their exceptional company culture and management trust. American Express, for instance, ranked second overall despite being in the bottom 29% for compensation—proving that a positive culture is priceless.
“Company culture and management have the strongest ties to overall ratings, while compensation shows the weakest,” said Alex Han, Communications Manager at Blind.
⚠️ The Worst-Rated Companies – High Pay, Low Satisfaction
On the flip side, some big-name employers are drawing flak. The lowest-rated include DP World, MindTickle, Paytm, InMobi, Media.net, Tekion Corp, Zeta, Coinbase, ThoughtSpot, Atlassian, IBM, Western Digital, Sprinklr, Indeed.com, and Amazon.
Ironically, Coinbase, despite offering a sky-high median salary of $82,000 (top 12%), made it to the “worst” list. Clearly, cash isn’t everything when employees don’t feel heard or supported.
