However, as this conglomerate has continued to cement its position as one of the world’s leading travel service provider, it has not moved away from its core of “keeping it simple, keeping to the basics and every time ‘on-time’”. In a group which operates across different aspects of your travel experience (from flights to hotels), where employees work 24x7x365 days and are mostly comprised of millennials always looking for newer experiences and challenges; it’s imperative to keep employee experience at the center and then work tirelessly to create that experience.

It’s talent induction program- iPAD (InterGlobe Program for Accelerated Development) in collaboration with leading campuses like IIM, IIFT, MDI, XLRI etc. helps ensure that the incoming talent is setup for success appropriately. InterGlobe’s Professional Certification Policy gives the flexibility to pick a course of choice from a list of 500 courses funded by the organization and a fast track growth path offered to consistently performing employees.

Much like the industry they operate in, this conglomerate is continuously working to align its talent practices with the aspirations of its workforce and create a truly ‘on-time’, ‘every-time’ experience.
