Additionally, Harvard Business School and the Yale School of Management currently feature case studies profiling Sapient's culture and client success model in their MBA curricula.

"Being recognized year over year as a best company to work for in India has substantially increased awareness of our brand and positioned Sapient as a preferred employer in the growing Indian talent market," said Soumya Banerjee, Vice President and Managing Director, Sapient India.
