As India celebrates Diwali with gifts
and sweets all around, gifts earned by 1200 employees of ‘Hrishikesh Exporters’,
one of the many diamond export companies in India’s Gujarat, received worldwide
attention.
The total amount of the gifts Savji
Dholakia gave away to his 1200 employees this Diwali fetched nearly Rs 50
crore. Dholakia, who runs a diamond export company in Surat, gave away 491
cars, 525 pieces of diamond jewellery and 200 apartments to mark Diwali. Dholakia
has been rewarding his employees lavishly since 2012, when he gave away cars to
three employees. Last year, he gifted cars to 72 employees.
Surat is the hub of India's thriving
diamond trade where rough diamonds are polished and exported. His company,
Hrishikesh Exporters, is one of the most prominent diamond exporters in Surat
and has offices in the US, Belgium and China.
Nearly 400,000 people are engaged in
cutting and polishing diamonds in more than 2,500 factories in Surat.
