Cognizant, a leading global provider of information technology, consulting, and business process services has secured 3rd rank among 25 large companies in the prestigious LinkedIn Top Companies 2024 list. The recognition acknowledges Cognizant's commitment to prioritizing associate experience, advancing skilling, facilitating career growth, and championing gender diversity, alongside its large employee presence across the country.
"This accolade mirrors the vibrant energy and relentless pursuit of excellence by our associates who are at the heart of Cognizant's success,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO, Cognizant. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to create an unparalleled employee experience where every voice matters, every individual thrives, and our teams across India are empowered with opportunities for skilling, growth and innovation. Together, we are not merely shaping careers; we are shaping the future.”
LinkedIn ranks the top 25 companies in India based on eight pillars of career progression: Ability to advance; skills growth; company stability; external opportunity; company affinity; gender diversity; educational background and employee presence in the country.
As a knowledge-rich company, Cognizant has built one of the industry’s most comprehensive digital learning and development ecosystems and resources to upskill associates in future-ready technologies. The company’s dedicated experts collaborate with the world’s leading educational and technology partners and oversee access-from-anywhere learning platforms.
The company has a global workforce of 347,700 and over 70% of these associates are based in India.
It believes that a diverse and inclusive workforce strengthens its ability to innovate and reflect clients’ needs. In India, women comprise nearly 40% of Cognizant's workforce, surpassing the IT industry's gender diversity average of 36%, and two of its largest centers in India are headed by women leaders. To enable more women to reach their full potential, last year, Cognizant launched Shakti, a unified framework of women-centric programs and policies designed to advance women leadership in technology.
