So in India this month Hari Krishna Exports diamond company just made a substantial gift to it’s staff: Savji Dholakia gave 1,000 cars and 400 apartment suites away to staff considered to be doing a good job by the company.
The festival the holiday gift was tied to? It’s called Diwali. It’s a Hindu festival of Lights.
The tycoon gave away almost 500 cars and 200 apartments last year in a similar fashion. (Click image to make larger).
The company, Hari Krishna Exports, will take on part of the loan installments on the cars and apartments for 5 years. The apartments were given to people who already had cars.
