Your invitation into a USD 5.2 billion conglomerate - with 7 companies, 40+ nationalities, and a presence in 135+ countries - to prove how you think, decide, and lead.
A Great Place to Grow
Founded by Dr. R.P. Goenka, the RPG Group has evolved from a respected Indian conglomerate into a USD 5.2 billion global ecosystem. 35,000+ RPGians power businesses that span tyres, infrastructure, technology, pharmaceuticals, and clean energy - across 135+ countries. RPG isn't where you just start a career, it's where you accelerate one.
Scale Meets Ownership
Large enough to tackle billion-dollar challenges across 6 continents; small enough for your voice to be heard and your contributions to count. At RPG, you aren't just a cog in a machine - you are a recognized leader whose perspective is valued from the very start.
Performance with Purpose
From powering nations to saving lives to fighting climate change, every RPG business connects ambition to real-world impact.
Your Career at RPG
Two Ways to Experience Growth
At RPG, there are two ways to experience what growth really looks like. One, early — through internships. The other, as a full-time leadership journey.
Impressions
Summer Internship Programme
This isn't a summer where you sit on the sidelines. At RPG, you're handed a real business problem — one that matters. You work on it, own it, and see what it takes to move it forward.
- Real business challenges, not simulated exercises
- Direct engagement with senior leaders
- See how different parts of a business come together
And somewhere in that process, things become clearer — not just what you want to do, but how fast you want to grow.
GMR — Group Management Resource
RPG's Leadership Track
This is where your career doesn't just begin - it accelerates. The GMR programme is built for people who don't want to stay in one lane.
- Exposure across cross functional team and work on different kinds of problems
- See how decisions scale across a global conglomerate
- Trusted early, challenged often, backed by leaders
- Build confidence and capability to shape the business
All of this, while staying grounded in how we work: Grow fast. Stay human.
