VerSe Innovation shares its views on retaining and attracting talent

Vivek Khare 
Director IT, Verse Innovation

Indeed technology talent is a challenge and the truth is that there is no silver bullet to kill this problem. We have evolved a lot as a company to retain and attract talent. Few examples are:

a. Equity for everyone. Everyone has skin in the game. This gives not only long term benefit to our employees but also boosts their confidence that they are stakeholders in the organisation.

b. Learning opportunities. We grew so fast in the last couple of years that for many enterprises we are a case study. Our people are upskilled across horizontal and vertical domains. We are working at a scale that is unprecedented for most of the Indian organizations and that enabled our workforce to learn new skills, dove deeper and enhance their portfolio at a very fast pace.

c. Our culture is loved by our people and many leaders have emerged from our organisation and have joined us to take it to further levels. We work in a boundaryless, empowered environment where everyone knows why he is important, what value does he bring to the organisation.

d. We have enormous growth opportunities. We encourage people to take roles across functions and verticals to get the best out of them. Since people are able to channelize their talent in their interest areas, they stay for a long time.
