Gurugram,
India, February 18, 2026 : Midland Credit Management (MCM), an Encore
Capital Group Company, in India has been recognized by Great Place To Work®
India among the Top 50 Best Workplaces in IT & IT-BPM for 2025. This
prestigious honor reflects the collective commitment of our teams to building a
workplace that inspires trust, collaboration, and growth.

Great
Place To Work®, a global authority on workplace culture, has studied employee
experience and people practices for over three decades. Each year, over 100
million employees across 150 countries participate in its survey to benchmark
and strengthen workplace culture. In India, 100 organizations have been
recognized among the Best Workplaces in IT & IT-BPM 2025. These companies
stand out for crafting strong people practices and acting on employee feedback
to build a high-trust culture.

“India’s
tech industry is steadily transitioning from a traditional IT services model to
a more innovation-driven approach. While AI and deep tech are gaining traction,
the shift is gradual and shaped by practical factors like talent upskilling,
cost optimization, and regulatory frameworks. Our study found that employees
are 89% more likely to be excited to use AI when they are given meaningful
opportunities for innovation. The Innovation Velocity Ratio (IVR) of the IT
Sector for this year indicates that for every two employees who lack innovation
opportunities, eight are ready to innovate. Despite the increasing competition
and challenges in AI adoption, the rise of IVR demonstrates that our talent is
prepared for the next wave of technological disruption. I sincerely
congratulate all the winners of India’s Best Workplaces in IT & IT-BPM
2025, who are elevating the standard of global IT excellence.” said Balbir
Singh, CEO, Great Place To Work® India.

Encore’s
distinction as one of the Top 50 Best Workplaces in IT & IT-BPM in India is
rooted in its strategic commitment to fostering a high-trust, inclusive, and
growth-oriented culture. The organization prioritizes employee well-being, open
and transparent communication, and leadership development that empowers talent.
By consistently recognizing merit, encouraging continuous feedback, and
embracing technological progress, the company cultivates an environment where
collaboration, innovation, and professional growth are at the forefront. This
approach not only strengthens organizational pride and trust but also positions
Encore as an employer of choice in the IT & IT-BPM space in India.
