GURUGRAM, India, April 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Midland Credit Management (MCM), an Encore Capital Group company, is counted among India's Best Workplaces in IT & IT-Business Process Management (BPM) 2019, as per the GPTW survey. As a responsible corporate citizen, the company believes in cultivating a culture anchored around its people, consumers and community.

On April 1, 2020, MCM, in India, donated INR 50 lakhs to the Haryana Corona Relief Fund with a view to support the state in its effort to control the coronavirus pandemic that has impacted lives across the nation. The company has also made available hand sanitizers and face masks for the local law enforcement personnel.
