Indian IT Firm Is Offering Free Matchmaking Services To Employees; A Salary Hike If They Marry

Companies these days are resorting to different means to retain employees. Employees are offered various options to strike a perfect work-life balance, from flexible work from home policies to paid mental-health leaves. 

But a Madurai-based IT company is offering something ‘extra.’ Well, the company is offering free matchmaking services to its employees.

They’ve also declared a hike for their employees who use these services and get married.
A step that could be touted as bizarre has been taken by Mookambika Infosolutions, which is offering these services to their 750 employees.

According to a TOI report, the step comes following their Mookambika Infosolutions attrition rate, which has been below 10 percent for several years now.

The company also gives its employees a fixed 6-8 percent increment twice a year.

But now, they’re not just offering their employees matrimonial services but a special increment in case they tie the knot.

Speaking about the initiative, founder MP Selvaganesh said, “They (the employees) treat me like a brother. Several of them are from villages, with either aged parents or lacking a proper outlook of the world and unable to fight the right match.”

“We help such employees through a network of ‘alliance makers.’ Weddings are the best get-togethers; the entire team hires vans and attends.” 

About 40 percent of Mookambika Infosolutions’s employees have been with the company for five years.

“There are several long-term employees,” MP Selvaganesh told the Times of India. “We cannot take them for granted, thinking they will not go anywhere. We give them their due even before any such thought comes to them.” 

He also added that his employees reach out to him directly whenever they face issues.

“We need to invest time and money to create such bonds and be honest in our approach. Not see everything from the business perspective alone,” Selvaganesh said.
