Building on last year’s recognition, Continental has once again secured a spot on LinkedIn’s 2025 list of Top 25 Companies in India to grow one’s career. The list highlights workplaces with more than 5,000 employees globally that prioritize skill-building, career progression, and long-term growth across sectors. The list is based on LinkedIn’s platform data which further reaffirms Continental’s position as an employer of choice in the automotive and technology sectors.
The list evaluates companies across eight key pillars, namely the ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity, educational background, and employee presence in India.
Delighted by the honour, Prashanth Doreswamy, President and CEO, Continental India, said, “The automotive industry is undergoing transformation; therefore, it is important for companies to create a future ready workplace which is not only agile but also inclusive.

With technology transformation and consumer-preference disruptions, the course of the automotive industry is evolving constantly. How companies respond to change will be a determining factor in their success.
With 70% of job skills expected to change in the next five years (LinkedIn), India’s job landscape is also undergoing some major transformation, and Continental has been positioning itself as a leader in future-readiness. Over the years, the company has introduced various initiatives including collaborations with engineering COEs, creation of internal trainers, partnerships with Tier I academic institutions, training bootcamps, as well as learning and experience partnerships with established platforms.
The teams at Continental bring together a rich blend of regions, genders, experiences, and perspectives, driving fresh, innovative thinking. This diversity plays a key role in shaping inclusive, future-ready solutions. Employees from varied educational backgrounds contribute a unique mix of skills that strengthen the organization. Supported by world-class infrastructure and hybrid workspaces, Continental promotes an environment built for collaboration, creativity, and connection, therefore creating a culture where people feel supported and engaged.
Mr. Kumar further added, “In today’s fast-changing work landscape, talent management has emerged as one of the most critical drivers of an organization’s success. It is about creating a strong foundation where people are empowered to grow, thrive, and reach their full potential.”
