Certified Great Place To Work® - 5 Years in a Row

Iris has once again been certified as a Great Place To Work® in India — marking five consecutive years of recognition for cultivating a high-trust, high-performance workplace. Awarded by Great Place To Work India, the certification is based entirely on employee feedback and a rigorous culture assessment. It evaluates how consistently employees experience leadership credibility, fairness, respect, pride in their work, and a strong sense of belonging.

At Iris, culture evolves through conversation. Regular listening forums, transparent communication channels, and approachable leadership ensure that employee feedback is not only heard but meaningfully acted upon. This continuous dialogue strengthens trust, reinforces accountability, and drives sustained improvement.

Our employee-first philosophy is reflected in the way we invest in learning opportunities, recognize contributions with sincerity, encourage collaboration across geographies, and create an inclusive environment where individuals feel valued for who they are and what they bring. The result is a workplace where performance and belonging coexist — and where growth is both personal and collective.

Anil Apte, Managing Director and Co-founder, shared: “Sustaining a strong culture requires conscious effort and collective ownership. This milestone reflects the dedication of every Irisian who contributes to making our workplace collaborative, respectful, and purpose-driven. Our culture remains the foundation of our long-term success.”

Sharad Verma, CHRO, added: “Being recognized for the fifth time affirms our employee-first philosophy. We remain committed to listening with intent, learning with humility, and improving with consistency. Our leaders play a pivotal role in nurturing trust, enabling growth, and ensuring that every individual feels valued and empowered to perform at their best.”

Great Place To Work® Certification™ is regarded as the gold standard for workplace culture recognition in India and globally. Each year, thousands of organizations partner with the institute to assess, benchmark, and strengthen their employee experience practices.

This milestone is both a celebration of our people and a renewed commitment to building a workplace where trust, growth, and belonging lead the way.
