Assistant general manager of publicity and marketing for Challani Jewellery S Balaji said that for the first time in India, a jewellery owner has gifted cars and bikes to his staff.
“We decided that the deserving staff should be lauded. For the initial four to five months, we had little walk-ins but these people believed in us. Only after six months, the company began to grow. Even during the pandemic, where it is common in this industry for people to jump from one company to another for a better salary, these people stayed with us,” said Balaji.
Balaji said the company decided against giving the employees a cash bonus for Diwali and chose vehicles as they would spend the cash in a couple of months and would forget the gesture soon.
