Surat trader gifted apartments and cars as Diwali bonus!

Who wouldn’t want an employer that gives away flats, cars and jewelry as Diwali bonus every year?Well, Surat businessman Savjibhai Dholakia, owner of Hare Krishna Exporters that trades in diamonds and textiles, has hit headlines by becoming one such model employer. His firm just gifted apartments and cars to 1665 employees, out of more than 5,500 people that are employed in his company, which makes a turnover of Rs 6,000 crore every year. Last year, the firm had gifted such bonus to 1716 employees (different from the present ones.). Around 1200 of the 1665 employees earn between Rs 10,000 and Rs 60,000 per month, and they’re selected on the basis of their performance. “Our aim is that each employee must have his own home and car in the next five years. So we have decided to gift cars, homes and jewellery to employees,” Dholakia stated. 400 employees will be given houses, and they won’t have to make any down-payment—the company would be taking care of that. AS for the EMI, the company will pay Rs 5,000 for each worker for 5 years, while the rest will be paid by the employees. Of the rest, 1260 get cars while 56 employees get jewellery boxes. These bonuses have been an annual ritual at the firm since 2011. Now that’s one brilliant way to celebrate Diwali !
