Abstract :
This report presents an in-depth organizational study of Indian Tobacco Company Pvt Ltd (ITC), one of India’s leading diversified conglomerates. The study explores ITC’s evolution from a tobacco-centric company to a multi-business enterprise with strong footprints in FMCG, hospitality, paper and packaging, agri-business, and IT services. The focus lies on understanding ITC’s strategic management, sustainability initiatives, and human resource practices. Particular attention is given to ITC’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility, including its carbon-positive and water-positive operations, as well as programs like the “Wellbeing out of Waste” initiative and climate-smart agriculture. The study also investigates ITC’s HR framework, highlighting its practices in talent acquisition, employee engagement, and leadership development. Special emphasis is placed on compliance with the PoSH Act and the SA 8000 standard, reinforcing ITC’s commitment to ethical and safe workplaces. Operational insights into tobacco processing and the manufacturing workflow, including quality control, packaging, and effluent treatment, are also presented. Additionally, the project includes a health-focused canteen initiative promoting employee wellness. Key findings underscore HR’s pivotal role in ITC’s organizational success and conclude that ITC’s integrated approach to sustainability, innovation, and employee well-being contributes significantly to its continued growth and industry leadership.
