Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments Pvt Ltd said, "It is our honour to be the only real estate player to be featured on India's great mid-size workplaces list and to receive international recognition of being in the Top 20 in Asia. In a challenging year, an improvement of scores and ranking and featuring on the global list is gratifying. Amongst the many things that are required to make an organisation a great place to work, an important aspect is for our people to be aligned to our vision, know the why of the organisation and to completely believe in it. We have been using the Great Place to Work format for years now and I think the most valuable piece for us is the fact that this is really the voice of our own employees telling us what we are doing well and there is a scope to Outdo further."The study recognised Gera Developments for its high-trust and superior work culture which converts into a healthy and productive work environment that inspires transparency, instills pride amongst its employees and promotes bonding at the workplace.

The employees characterise this belief and establish the kind of environment where individuals feel respected by their companions and peers and take pride in their work. It propels each employee to raise standards instead of meeting them, to exceed expectations rather than living up to them.

The philosophy of Outdo is about improving oneself and competing against self rather than others. The Outdo culture along with the company's core values of quality, trust, customer firstinnovation have been the pillars for the organisation.

GERA is an equal opportunity employer and prides itself on being the first real estate company to set up an all-women project team. At Gera, diversity is not restricted to gender nor is it restricted to the regular norms associated with a particular gender.
