Do you want to see rapid growth in your career? Professional networking site LinkedIn has brought out a list of top 25 best workplaces to grow your career in India.

The platform said in a blog post that these 25 companies help employees build a professional foundation that sets them up for success both at the company and beyond.

The methodology uses LinkedIn data to rank companies based on seven pillars that have been shown to lead to career progression. These include  ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity,  company affinity, gender diversity and educational background.

To be eligible, companies must have at least 500 employees as of December 31 in the country. Further, reductions in staff (including attrition and layoffs) can be no higher than 10 percent (based on LinkedIn data or public announcements).

Only parent companies rank on the list; majority-owned subsidiaries and data about those subsidiaries are incorporated into the parent company score. The methodology time frame is January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

Here, all staffing and recruiting firms, educational institutions and government agencies are recruited. This list also excludes LinkedIn, its parent company Microsoft and Microsoft subsidiaries.
