There's a lot to look forward to during the festive season - sweet boxes and dry fruits from relatives, new traditional clothes and maybe even a decent Diwali bonus if you've been performing exceptionally well at your company. But for a select few employees of Hari Krishna Exporters -- a whole 600, to be precise -- it doesn't just stop at a bump in one's paycheque.

Surat-based diamond merchant and owner of Hari Krishna Exporters, Savji Dholakia, decided to gift cars to 600 employees of his company -- a practice he's been following for the last four years. This year, the diamond polishers of the company reportedly received Renault KWID and Maruti Suzuki Celerio cars as their Diwali gift, at a grand ceremony in New Delhi on October 25, 2018.

This reward is part of the 'Skill India Incentive Ceremony' where PM Narendra Modi personally handed over the keys of the cars to four employees of the firm on Thursday. In a Facebook post, Dholakia said that the on-road prices of both cars are up to INR4.4 lakh and INR5.38 lakh respectively. But while the 600 took home brand new rides, they weren't the only ones who got lucky. Dholakia's post also added that of the 5500 employees who are a part of the company, 4,000 had already received their gifts.

The company, which makes an annual turnover of INR6,000 core according to Business Today, gave incentives to approximately 1700 diamond artists and engineers in the form of cars and fixed deposits. This was done with an aim to reward the employees' loyalty and dedication toward the company.

Earlier this year, Savji Dholakia awarded Mercedes Benz cars to (at least) two of his employees. In 2016, the diamond merchant gifted 1,260 cars, 400 flats and even pieces of jewellery to his employees as Diwali gifts.
