Intuit India Honoured as a Great Place to Innovate at Zinnov Awards


Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Wednesday, August 01, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Intuit India, a leading provider of business and financial management solutions, was named a "Great Place to Innovate" at the Zinnov Awards and Recognition Program 2012.

The award acknowledges the company's innovation efforts in four areas: culture, conditions, process and metrics. The Zinnov Awards and Recognition program recognizes leaders in different categories who have done outstanding work in contributing to research and development in India.

"Innovation and collaboration are the two important pillars in product development and this award is a testament to our philosophy," said Vijay Anand, Vice President of Intuit's India Development Center. "Our entrepreneurial culture empowers our employees to innovate and solve customer problems. We encourage all employees to take time to create and work on projects that will bring customers new and better products that simplify the business of life. This helps us attract the best talent and deliver ground breaking innovations for emerging markets."

Intuit's values and leadership principles play a significant role in making it a great place to work. Its unique culture inspires innovation through initiatives that includes:

-- Design for Delight, a philosophy that encourages employees to go beyond customer expectations in delivering ease and benefit.

-- Unstructured time, where employees are allowed to spend up to 10 percent of their time on projects they are passionate about to drive growth.

-- Brainstorm, where employees use an internally developed online application easily connect and collaborate on new ideas.

-- Idea jams, where employees in product development gather to harness their energy for a day by working on some of their unstructured time projects.

In addition, Intuit's awards and recognition program for employees are among the most comprehensive and structured in India.

The Zinnov Awards and Recognition Program 2012, now in its third year, recognizes companies across six categories. The awards programme is part of Zinnov's Annual Conference Globalization Summit 2012, themed "Leveraging the Ecosystem for Industry Transforming Innovations."
