Surat Businessman Gives Rs 1 Lakh Cash Bonus To Every Employee For Diwali, Video Viral

A video of a Surat textile trader rewarding his employees with a huge Diwali bonus is gaining attention online. While most companies mark the festival of lights by handing out boxes of sweets and nuts, Ramswaroop Munde, who runs a textile firm in Gujarat's commercial hub, surprised his 20 employees by giving each of them over Rs 1 lakh in cash.

Instead of handing out cash in envelopes, he arranged bundles of currency notes on silver-like ceremonial puja thalis. 

Each employee received a cash gift exceeding one lakh rupees, presented to them by their own wives. The employees were deeply moved by this unique gesture.

The interesting aspect was how the bonuses were presented. Bundles of fresh currency notes, ranging from 10 to 500 rupee denominations, were neatly arranged on the platters.

The unexpected gesture left many employees visibly emotional, with a few seen shedding tears of gratitude as they received their trays.

Explaining his decision, Munde shared that he considers his staff an extension of his own family rather than just shop workers. His wish was for his employees to be able to celebrate Diwali with their families, free from any financial worries.

❤️ THIS IS WHAT TRUE GENEROSITY LOOKS LIKE Meet Ramswaroop Mund, a textile businessman in Surat originally from Rajasthan. This Diwali, he gifted ₹1 LAKH CASH to each of his 50 employees, along with special gifts. But the money isn't the most heartwarming part. His philosophy is simple: Why should Diwali celebrations be limited to his own home? The families of those who work hard alongside him deserve to celebrate with equal happiness. He doesn't treat his employees merely as workers; he considers them part of his family. Money can make you wealthy, but a heart like this makes you truly RICH. ❤️🙏 Hats off, Sir This is the spirit of Diwali. 🪔🇮🇳
