What Makes Pure Storage India a Great Place To Work®?
For the second consecutive year, Pure Storage India has been recognized as a Great Place To Work®. Learn more about this recognition and our thriving workplace culture.
In less than four years since starting R&D operations in India, Pure Storage India has been recognized once again as a Great Place To Work®.
What makes a company a great place to work? For Pure Storage, it’s our commitment to fostering an empowering, diverse, and inclusive workplace culture where every employee can be exactly who they are and reach their highest potential.
Being recognized as a Great Place To Work® less than two years after setting up R&D operations in India is an important milestone in our journey and a testament to the collective effort of all our teams.
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on building, sustaining, and recognizing High-Trust, High-Performance Culture™ at workplaces. As part of this assessment, Great Place To Work® measured the perceptions of our employees using the Great Place To Work® Trust Index™ Employee Survey on five key dimensions: Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride, and Camaraderie.
It was heartening to see that we scored above the industry average (India Top 100 – Great Mid-size Workplaces) in three key areas: equity, fairness, and work-life balance.
Our Values Define Who We Are
Pure Storage is founded on integrity and mutual respect, and we’re dedicated in our commitment to live out these principles through our core values: persistence, creativity, teamwork, ownership, and customer-first.
At Pure Storage, we believe in being a talent-magnet organization that fuels innovation and accelerates employee growth. We leverage our nimble, fast-paced, and highly innovative culture, as well as the growth that our business is undergoing, to promote an inclusive workplace where our employees are stretched to have an impact through collaboration around the globe. The imperative of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has never been so critical to creativity and business success and is a key pillar of Pure Storage’s growth.
Over the past year, we’ve made strides in attracting diverse top talent at all levels at the India Center. To support growth, development, and innovative thinking among our teams, we launched a number of wide-ranging initiatives and benefits for employees, including holistic health and wellness benefits, individualized development plans, internal mobility, flexible time off, and more.
Ultimately, Pure Storage’s innovation depends on the growth and success of our employees, and we’re proud to share that Pure Storage has one of the highest employee engagement indices in the industry.
Here’s what our employees say about what makes Pure Storage a great workplace:
“Working here feels amazing, like being part of a supportive family where I always feel included and valued. The collaborative spirit and positive culture create an enjoyable and fulfilling environment. Furthermore, mentorship sessions and generous paid time off enhance the overall work experience, providing valuable opportunities for growth and a healthy work-life balance.”
“Pure Storage is uniquely positioned in the storage industry. Firstly, as the innovation leader, we are all encouraged to file ideas/patents, and within six months of joining the company, I was able to file four patents. There is no prejudice when discussing innovations and ideas. Secondly, Pure lets employees work independently and does not interfere unless the employee is not able to make progress and reaches out for help. I was working on a project that needed Windows expertise. I was given enough time to prepare, and when I wasn’t able to make progress and reached out for help, I was able to get all the help from across all the departments in the company.”
In less than four years since setting up R&D operations in India, Pure Storage has once again been recognized as a Great Place To Work®. This marks the second consecutive year of certification—a proud milestone that celebrates not just our growth but the thriving workplace culture we’ve collectively built.
What Makes This Recognition Special
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on building, sustaining, and recognizing High-Trust, High-Performance Culture™. Earning this certification two years in a row reaffirms the strength of our foundation and the values that define who we are.
Despite our rapid growth, we’ve held on to what matters most:
Equity and fairness in how we support and reward our people
Work-life balance that empowers individuals to thrive personally and professionally
Collaboration and trust that fuels innovation across teams and geographies
It was especially rewarding to see our scores exceed the industry average in multiple areas once again.
Our Values Define Who We Are
At Pure Storage, our core values—persistence, creativity, teamwork, ownership, and customer-first—are not just words on paper. They shape how we work, innovate, and grow together.
Over the past year, we’ve doubled down on:
Attracting diverse top talent across functions and levels
Expanding development opportunities with mentorship, mobility programs, and individualized learning plans
Investing in well-being with holistic benefits, flexible time off, and a strong emphasis on employee health
These efforts ensure that as our business scales, our people remain at the heart of everything we do.
