- Google emerged as India's most attractive employer brand in the Randstad Employer Brand Research (REBR) 2026, followed by Tata Group at #2 and Amazon at #3
- The top 10 also includes Samsung India (4th), Infosys (5th), Reliance Industries (6th), ITC Group (7th), Hindustan Unilever (8th), Mahindra & Mahindra (9th) and Dell Technologies (10th)
- The REBR 2026 surveyed close to 3,500 respondents in India as part of a broader study covering 1.75 lakh respondents across 34 markets
- 46% of Indian talent plan to change jobs in the next six months while 32% already switched employers in the previous six months
- Work-life balance, equal opportunities, career progression, salary/benefits, and a strong reputation form the core Employee Value Proposition (EVP) drivers for the Indian workforce
- Digital talent prioritizes competitive salary ahead of work-life balance and is more likely to leave due to lack of career growth
- Randstad India MD Narayan Iyer said talent expectations are expanding faster than organizational structures can adapt, calling for "Balanced Employer" strategies
Why it matters: With 46% of Indian workers planning to switch jobs in six months and 32% having already moved, employer brand strength now directly affects retention in a churn-heavy market. The finding that digital talent ranks salary above work-life balance pinpoints where tech employers face the steepest flight risk.
