In a landmark recognition, CBRE South Asia Pvt. Ltd., India's premier real estate consulting firm, has been crowned the best employer in India according to the inaugural TIME-Statista Best Employers 2025 rankings. Scoring a perfect 100, CBRE outshone 600 of the best companies in India and surpassed global giants, marking a significant milestone in the country's corporate landscape.

Setting the Benchmark in India's Corporate Arena

The rankings, backed by extensive research encompassing over 800,000 employer evaluations across India, highlight companies with at least 800 employees. Employers were assessed not only on how their own employees viewed them but also on their reputation within their industries. CBRE’s top ranking underlines its exceptional standing among Indian and global competitors.

A Legacy of Leadership & Innovation

CBRE pioneered professional real estate services in India over 30 years ago and has since grown to become the largest player in the country's real estate sector. With a workforce exceeding 13,000 employees spread across 17 offices, CBRE is actively shaping infrastructure and real estate landscapes through its consultation, workplace management, and innovative solutions.

The company seamlessly integrates global best practices with local insights to nurture employee well-being, professional development, and innovation. This holistic approach has made it a magnet for talent and a model employer.

CBRE also emphasizes upskilling and employee retention through partnerships with local universities, addressing the rapid market transformations driven by advancements in AI and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.

Voices from the Top

Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO for India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa at CBRE, expressed pride in the accolade, stating, "This recognition reaffirms our mission to empower [our people] with opportunities to grow, excel, and lead the future of real estate and beyond."

Reflecting on CBRE’s journey, he recalled the early challenges in attracting talent when professional real estate services were novel to India. However, as India opened up globally post-1991, and multinational firms entered the market, awareness and recruitment improved significantly, culminating in this prestigious recognition today.

Looking Ahead

Winning the TIME-Statista Best Employer award is not just a testament to CBRE’s growth and leadership but a beacon for other firms aspiring to cultivate thriving workplaces that prioritize innovation, inclusivity, and employee excellence. CBRE's trailblazing legacy sets a high bar for others in India’s evolving corporate ecosystem.
