Ion Exchange India Limited, Mumbai

We've led the Indian water treatment industry for over four decades, enjoying first mover and pioneer advantage, and a reputation for quality and commitment. Our total water management portfolio is practically unrivalled in the industry and our solutions preferred by diverse industries, homes and communities across India and overseas.

 

Widely considered to possess the best domain knowledge, our people are our greatest and most competitive asset, and we attach as much importance to their development as to technology.

 

We are perhaps the only Indian company to set up, in 1985, Employee Benefit Trusts which now hold around 23% of our stock. This along with Employee Stock Options contribute to a strong sense of pride and ownership.

You will find at Ion Exchange India a work culture that is at once professional, result-oriented and challenging as well as friendly, lively and comfortable. An open-door, informal climate provides ample occasion to interact and exchange views with corporate management and business heads and thus benefit from their experience. Cross-functional exposure enables tremendous broadening and value-adding to skills and experience base.

Learning organisations are the organisations of the future. Human Resource Development is therefore a focus area, and our personnel are recognised as the best trained and most experienced in the industry. Emphasis is given to product, application and functional training - through individual on-the-job training as well as structured group programmes. Training in technical, managerial and soft skills is provided in-house by our HRD department and by sponsorship to external programmes. A detailed training calendar is prepared at the beginning of the financial year enabling departments plan ahead for training and development.

You will find that organic career growth is characteristic of our company - a number of senior positions are and have been held by those who have demonstrated their capabilities and have thus risen up from within the company.

 

We introduced a system of career progression way back in 1977. This is intended for planning career growth in such a way that skills and abilities develop progressively, greater use is made of these and recognition accorded through enlarged job responsibilities and career growth.

 

In 1987 we introduced a system of performance appraisal against objectives or key result areas, set and reviewed jointly, half-yearly and annually. We consider the appraisal process important because it helps identify the strengths of a person, the potential for development and growth, areas of improvement and training required. It also serves as a tool for long term human resource planning and development.
