Winner: Visible Alpha Solutions India

The approach taken by Visible Alpha’s people team would be highly impressive, even if the company was headquartered elsewhere, those HRDS judging this category felt. The fact the firm is based in a country and culture “not known for looking after its workforce’s” makes this entry even more attention-grabbing, they felt. Working from the premise that success starts with differentiation and how creative products are, the organization’s HR ethos has always centered around how important employees are to this. “Everything [Visible Alpha is] doing is just a bit quirky,” commented one judge in relation to this entry. “ I loved this one, I found it really energizing,” said another, with another agreeing that it was “high energy [and that they] got that sense of real purpose and buzz, which was nice to read.”
