The institute conducted a rigorous assessment to identify the Top 20 Start-ups that are being published in alphabetical order, by their media partner BW Business World.
As part of this assessment, the organizations are evaluated through two lenses. The first lens measures the quality of employee experience through the institute’s globally validated survey instrument known as Trust Index©. The survey helps in seeking anonymous feedback from employees and carries 2/3rd weightage. The second lens is called Culture Audit©, that evaluates the quality of people practices in an organization, covering the entire employee life cycle. This carries 1/3rd weightage. The Institute undertakes a robust validation process on the data gathered through the assessment process. The cumulative score of Trust Index© and Culture Audit© determines an organization’s inclusion in India’s Best Start-ups to Work For 2018. No individual or jury has a say in who makes it to the list – only employee feedback and quality of people practices determine if an organization is a great workplace.
