Life at Orkla India

At Orkla India we believe that a thriving workplace is built on strong connections and shared experiences. Employee engagement is a cornerstone of our culture aimed at creating an environment where people feel valued, connected and inspired every day. From wellness initiatives to cultural celebrations, we bring our people together through experiences that foster inclusion and camaraderie.

Employee Wellbeing - Manas

Employee wellbeing remains central to our people philosophy through Manas, our holistic wellness programme that supports employees and their families with counselling services, emotional wellbeing resources, webinars and expert guidance. By focusing on both mental and physical wellbeing, we ensure our employees have the support they need to succeed both professionally and personally.

Employee support initiatives

Our employee support ecosystem focuses on enabling employees through different stages of their personal and professional journeys.

Policies such as ‘See Her Empowered’ (SHE) support the maternity lifecycle, with flexible work arrangements, childcare and transition support.

Through these initiatives and many more, we continue to create a workplace where people feel at home, celebrate together and grow together.

Celebrating Togetherness

Celebrations and community experiences play an important role in life at Orkla India. Festivals such as Dussehra, Onam and other cultural occasions are celebrated with enthusiasm across locations, bringing employees together through shared traditions and experiences. We also observe key international days including Women's Day, Mental Health Day, Environment Day and Safety Day, reinforcing our commitment to inclusion, wellbeing and social responsibility.

Our signature engagement programmes further strengthen our culture of togetherness. The Orkla India Cricket Tournament fosters teamwork and healthy competition, while Talents Day provides employees with a platform to showcase their talents beyond the workplace. Desk to Dine, our unique cookout initiative, brings teams together through the shared experience of planning, preparing and serving meals, creating meaningful opportunities for collaboration and relationship building.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) approach is an integral part of building a progressive workplace culture. We continue strengthening inclusive leadership practices, governance frameworks and focused talent development initiatives to ensure equal opportunities and belonging across all levels of the organization.
