Homegrown OTT platform, MX Player has been recognised as a ‘great place to work’ in a survey conducted by Great Place to Work Institute, India. The streaming entertainment service has been certified in the ‘Small and Mid-Size Organisations’ category.
Becoming a strong contender in the Indian OTT business within a short span of 15 months, MX Player was launched in February 2019. With a strength of 300 employees across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Beijing offices and a participation of 87 per cent, MX Player’s organisational strengths were reflected as Pride, Responsibility & Empowerment – mirroring its work environment of camaraderie, respect and a culture of going over and beyond the call of duty whilst on the job.
Commenting on this certification, MX Player HR head Anjani B Kuumar said, “The continued success of MX Player is attributed to its employees and their passion. We aim to create a holistic environment while offering well rounded opportunities to our employees that is reflected in the results of the survey. Staying true to our proposition and delivering ‘everytainment’ to the audiences while having a happy set of employees is something we truly take pride in.”
The Great Place to Work assessment is considered to be the gold standard in the space of workplace culture globally and evaluates an organisation based on its employee feedback and people practices impacting the entire lifecycle of employees. The institute evaluates more than 1000 organisations every year in India and only the organisations meeting the criteria based on the rigorous assessment get certified.
Great Place to Work Institute, India CEO Prasenjit Bhattacharya added, “The Great Place to Work Certification indicates that there is a high level of trust, pride and camaraderie in the workplace culture. We see a high trust culture normally translates to sustained business performance.”
