Microsoft India's HR Practices

<< Previous

"We have a talent agenda and we need to, because in any intellectual property-driven business, our assets walk in and walk out every day. If we are to remain competitive, we have to give them a proper environment to shine through, so that they stay with us."¹

- Ravi Venkatesan, Chairman, Microsoft India².

"Once a year, we take a deep dive to look at key people, key positions, the existing succession plan and developmental needs. We aim to identify or develop at least two 'ready now' and 'one move away' candidates for each key position. The idea is to facilitate planned career moves, especially for our leadership bench."³

- Joji Gill, Director-HR, Microsoft India.

"My experience in Microsoft has been exhilarating and rewarding so far. The three things that I like the most about Microsoft India Global Technical Support Center(IGTSC) are - Employee first approach, transparency and numerous opportunities for growth - both in personal and professional space." 4 Rohit Gulati, an employee, Microsoft India.
