Flipkart also topped this list in 2016, making this the second year in a row that the 10-year-old e-commerce startup has been crowned India’s most preferred choice of workplace for professionals.

Commenting on this recognition, Kalyan Krishnamurthy, CEO, Flipkart, said, “We are thrilled to be the most sought-after company to work for in India for the second year in a row. I would attribute this primarily to the super-exciting work that we do here. We have an extremely open and empowering culture that places full trust in our employees. We are dedicated to build this culture of growth and to fuel our commitment to constantly innovate, disrupt and build India’s global technology powerhouse.”

Flipkart is known for a dynamic and open work culture that has consistently made headlines for progressive employee benefits, diversity initiatives and workplace equality. The company places considerable emphasis on creating an inclusive work environment. Flipsters, as Flipkart employees are known, are encouraged to break silos and innovate. Ownership, respect and customer-first are the building blocks of Flipkart’s DNA. Besides inspiring and driving Flipkart employees, these values unite Flipsters and empower them with a strong sense of belonging.

The LinkedIn list is determined by a combination of LinkedIn data and an editorial lens. It hinges heavily on the actual behavior of more than 467 million+ professionals on LinkedIn, focused on four core areas: Reach, Engagement, Job Interest, and New Hire Staying Power.

LinkedIn, in their Top Companies list, says: “Flipkart has become synonymous with Indian e-commerce.” In addition, it highlights some of the sought-after employee benefits that Flipkart offers its employees, like time off — where employees can take a career break to pursue higher education, personal engagements, etc — and personal welcome, where on their first day at office, employees are picked up by chauffeur-driven cars and sent on a treasure hunt to familiarize themselves with the office.
