Headout earns Great Place to Work(R) Certification across India, Germany, and the UK. Inside headout February 24, 2026 Headout, the global marketplace for real-life experiences, has been certified as a Great Place to Work(R) for the second consecutive year. This year's recognition expands beyond India to include teams in Germany and the United Kingdom for the first time, marking an important milestone as the company continues to grow its global footprint. The Great Place to Work(R) Certification is based entirely on employee feedback and is an independent assessment of workplace culture. For Headout, the expanded recognition reflects the company's continued effort to build a high-ownership environment as its teams scale across markets and geographies. "At Headout, our ambition has always been to build a company where people can do their life's best work," said Varun Khona, CEO and Co-founder of Headout. "Being recognized again as a Great Place to Work, and now across multiple countries, is an encouraging signal that we're moving in the right direction as we continue to grow." As Headout enters its second decade, the company is focused on building a culture that can scale alongside the business - one that encourages ownership, collaboration across borders, and a strong sense of responsibility toward the problems teams are solving. "This recognition matters because it comes directly from our teams," said Manisha Naik, Head of Culture & Talent at Headout. "Culture is something you build deliberately as a company grows. Our goal is to create an environment where people can take ownership, challenge ideas, and build meaningful things together." As Headout continues to expand its global team and operations, the company remains focused on strengthening the culture that has helped power its growth so far, and ensuring it evolves alongside the business in the years ahead.
