Abbott India recently received a Gold award as the Best Place of Work 2024, at the BW People HR Excellence Awards. This recognition reaffirms our commitment towards our employees’ wellbeing and our pursuit to continue strengthening our workplace culture.

As a global diversified healthcare leader, our mission is to ensure health equity; to develop life-changing technology that empowers every person to access high quality healthcare. This is only possible in an environment that engages employees, champions path-breaking ideas and fosters innovation. It’s a proud moment for us to be acknowledged for our efforts in building such a positive and motivating workplace culture.

“It was an honor to receive this award on behalf of an organization that creates an environment where every one of us feels valued and empowered,” said Ramanathan V, Managing Director and General Manager, who received the award along with Rajan Kalantre, Director, Human Resources.

So, what makes Abbott a great place to work? 

A Culture of Inclusivity, Collaboration and Innovation

We believe diversity drives innovation. Employees from varied backgrounds are nurtured and encouraged to achieve their true potential, while shaping the future of healthcare. Women returning from a career break or young professionals who can be mentored and inspired early in their careers, people across demographic groups find the resources, knowledge and tools to pursue a fulfilling career journey at Abbott.

As the world reveres in the potential of science and technology, students and interns, especially girls from underrepresented backgrounds, get a chance to explore dynamic roles through our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs. The real-world experience from learning and networking with experts in the field gives them confidence, skills and support to find their footing and make a mark in the world of STEM. Senior team members, too, can accelerate their career growth through our partnerships with key business institutes across India. These collaborations ensure that employees have ample opportunities to upskill and become ‘future ready’ for leadership positions. 

Putting Health First

While we’re focused on innovating groundbreaking solutions to address the health challenges of tomorrow, we’re equally and deeply invested in the physical, emotional, financial and social wellness of our workforce. “We strive to continuously create and provide a work environment that accommodates the employees’ needs and effectively engages them,” shares Deepshikha Mukerji, HR Director. Our policies and initiatives are a reflection of our strong sense of responsibility towards our employees’ wellbeing. Flexible work options, fair listening and feedback mechanisms, transparent and objective compensation practices, and programs that ensure employees’ fitness and mental wellness— we safeguard every aspect of health that impacts our employees’ lives, at work and beyond.


This award inspires us to continue strengthening our workplace culture, and allow employees to focus on what matters the most: enabling more people to live fully, through the power of health tech. As we push the boundaries of health innovation, we remain dedicated to helping our people thrive, professionally and personally.
