It’s not entirely unusual for bosses of successful companies to give out bonuses to employees on major holidays, but how many can claim that they are as generous as India’s boss Savji Dholakia, CEO of Hari Krishna Exports, who recently gifted some 1,200 cars and 400 apartments to over 1,600 of his most loyal and hardworking staffers.
“If we keep our employees happy, God will keep us happy,” Dholakia says. He started a long streak of generous bonuses 20 years ago, when he gave three of his top employees their own cars, and he has been upping his game every year since then.
In 2014, he distributed Rs 500m ($7.5m) as performance incentives and last years he gave away 491 cars and 200 apartments, but this year seems to be the most special yet.
