Celebrating Success with Generosity: 5 Instances of Extravagant Diwali Gifts for Employees. Diwali, the festival of lights, is a time for joy, celebration, and gratitude. It is also a time for companies to express their appreciation to their employees for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. While many companies offer traditional Diwali bonuses, some employers go above and beyond, showering their employees with extravagant gifts that make the festive season truly memorable. Here are five instances where employers surprised their employees with lavish Diwali gifts:

1.  Royal Enfield Rides for Tea Estate Workers: In 2023, P. Sivakumar, the owner of a 190-acre tea estate in Tamil Nadu, India, gifted Royal Enfield motorcycles to 15 of his employees as a Diwali bonus. The motorcycles, which ranged from Royal Enfield Meteor 350s to Royal Enfield Classic 350s, were worth over ₹2 lakh each. The employees were overjoyed with the unexpected gesture, which Sivakumar attributed to their hard work and teamwork.
