Making Mindtree a Great Place to Work

The futuristic form of growth is collaborative growth and this can happen only when we put all our hands on the deck and give shape to the way we want to be. At Mindtree we strongly believe that Mindtree Minds should have a lot of say in how they should be engaged. With about 82.54% of Millennials at Mindtree we wouldn’t have it in any other way!

Mindtree aspires to become a Great Place to Work where Mindtree Minds trust who they work for, take pride in what they do and enjoy the company of the people they work with. We strongly believe that engaged Mindtree Minds are critical in achieving our business goals and building a sustainable organization.

In our pursuit to transform Mindtree into a Great Place to Work, we are reinforcing our culture of partnering with Mindtree Minds in creating a congenial work environment. In continuation to MiVoice, Mindtree’s people experience survey done in collaboration with (Great Place to Work) GPTW, a set of dedicated leaders are anchoring initiatives on the four identified themes (Care for a fellow Mindtree Mind, Bottom-Up Communication, Career Growth & Learning and Visibility and Recognition) from the MiVoice Survey. This year 67.5% of Mindtree Minds have participated in the MiVoice survey to communicate their feedback, thoughts and ideas.

An online platform called ‘i belong’ is created for Mindtree Minds to volunteer with the MiVoice Action teams. This attempt is to create an opportunity for Mindtree Minds to come forth and be part of the change. We, at Mindtree believe that Mindtree Minds don’t just work, but belong!

We believe in investing today to realize our aspirations for Mindtree’s future. Hence we have ensured to list transforming Mindtree into a Great Place to Work among our 5 point strategy for 2015-16. Each Mindtree Mind is dedicatedly contributing towards making this happen. Our tag line says it all – Welcome to possible. It is definitely more than a slogan and attempts to reflect our approach to every engagement we explore with Mindtree Minds, the extended family of Mindtree, our customers, and our external partners.

Building Leadership Pipeline at all Levels

Exploring and creating different avenues to nurture the leadership skills for our talent pool has been in the ethos of Mindtree since its inception. We have aligned a gamut of leadership programs to suit the different levels of learner groups. We have embarked upon key learning journeys to upskill 50 leaders at an enterprise level, 100 women leaders and 50 leaders at an emerging leadership level.

We have invested to grow our women talent through our focused efforts from 28% to 35% by year 2018, to bring in parity at work in Mindtree. We are focused on identifying and building our leadership pipeline at all levels right from the senior to the young budding potential talent. At Mindtree, a leader at the organization level is one who is agile in learning, self-aware and exhibits strength in one of the four competence areas - Ninja, Coach, Thought Leader and Rainmaker. Learning Agility is a summation of the 4 agilities – mental, results, change and people. While nurturing internal talent is given careful attention, we also ensure to balance our talent pool by recruiting the right talent from the market. This enables to create a fertile ground to grow a good quotient of diverse talent.

Performance Management – Dropping the Bell Curve

As a new age organization, we have attempted to relook at our performance management system. As a next step of progression we have dropped the Bell Curve and let go of the force rating approach. This is a big step for Mindtree wherein the rating assigned will only reflect the individual’s performance and not how he or she did in comparison to others. After having used the Bell Curve for a decade, we have decided to drop the Bell Curve and instead adopt a “Performance” Curve. To nurture and encourage 16,000+ Mindtree Minds to exhibit their best performance, we use a system based on the power law distribution method, which is gaining ground globally. Also known as the “long-tail” method, the aim is to identify hyper-high performers, high performers, potential high performers and so on till it reaches the tail end, or low performers. Our attempts to build the leadership pipeline is aligned with identifying the High-potential using individual performance focused approach.

Headcount

The total number of Mindtree Minds as on March 31, 2016 was 16,623 (including subsidiaries) as against 14,202 as on March 31, 2015.

Specific areas in which R & D was carried out by the company

Your Company has more than 16 years of proven track record of its commitment and investments into technology and innovation as a key differentiator. In this financial year, your company has further sharpened its focus on Strategic & Emerging technologies and innovation, leading to differentiated business engagement with its customers.

Strategic Technologies

Organizations are constantly challenged to keep pace with the astounding changes in the digital space. Your company is continuously tracking market opportunities for innovation and differentiation to make digital real.

Your company continues to focus on building innovative solutions to make sharper business decisions based on predictive analytics and machine learning. It is a key challenge for clients to use vast amounts of data from both internal and external sources to make insightful business decisions. Consequently, Relational Solutions, Inc. was acquired. Their software is proven to work for ingesting and processing many different kinds of data such as Retail Point of Sales (POS), consumer data from syndicated sources, market share data, weather data and so on. This complements prior investments made by your company to build a sales assortment optimization solution for consumer goods companies. We now have new clients for this solution. With this, your company has formidable capabilities to deliver sales and trade promotion analytics solutions in a cloud-hosted model.

To stay ahead in this competitive market, your company conducted a global study to identify consumer desires and cross-industry initiatives. The study pinpointed personalization as a key investment area that companies may want to prioritize. This yielded fresh opportunities for your company in the area of delivering personalized customer experiences. Today’s Phy-gital consumer leaves a rich trail of data showing not only their likes and dislikes, but also the current context of their lives – their life stage, health, financial details, what they would like to buy and so on. Tapping this data from many different sources and making sense of the true context of the consumer to deliver personalized information and recommendations is a top goal for most businesses. Your company is creating intellectual capital in the form of plug-andplay cloud-hosted technology accelerators and skilled manpower to help businesses win in the age of the personalization. These investments are already starting to yield results in client and analyst interactions.

To deliver superior, personalized digital experiences for global brands, your company also created a frugal platform for Customer and Marketing Insights. This offers an accelerated roadmap for deploying best in class capabilities for content authoring, publishing, testing and measurement. A global leader in the paints industry has adopted this platform to replace legacy technologies and will benefit from your company’s deep experience managing global digital operations.

One of the top challenges that clients talk about is the absence of an ‘innovation sandbox’ to test concepts such as personalization. Your company built a powerful big data analytics technology accelerator to provide such an innovation sandbox.

As evident, all these investments are aimed at delivering superior digital experiences for consumers, integration of many fast evolving digital and legacy systems and harnessing next generation analytical methodologies. These will apply to a broad range of industries covering Retail, Consumer Goods, Airlines, Hospitality, Media, Banking and Insurance.

Your company is focused on building deeper capabilities in big data and analytics space by establishing wide partner ecosystem and industry recognized certifications. Distributed computing/ storage, streaming analytics, machine learning and advanced visualization are areas of prime focus.

Many organizations are still wary of investing in big data and analytics due to cost concerns, lack of proper implementation strategy and explosion of tools. This creates a space for big data decision science accelerator which enable organizations to carry out rapid prototyping, data discovery to derive new insights.

Cloud based decision science accelerator brings apposite stack of technology, pre-built industry specific data mining algorithms. Accelerator provides platform for innovation and jump start kit to explore art of possibilities in big data space. Accelerator is being used to realize use cases on personalization, unified customer data hub, business data lake etc.
