SURAT: The ongoing recession and liquidity crisis in the world’s largest diamond cutting and polishing centre in Surat hasn’t dampened the spirit of gifting Diwali bonanza for diamond baron Savji Dholakiya, chairman of Shri Hari Krishna Exports. He will gift 600 cars to the deserving staff including diamond workers on Thursday.
For the first time, four employees, including a physically challenged female employee have reached New Delhi where they will be given keys of their new cars by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will later address the employees of Shri Hari Krishna Exports through video conferencing at the event organised at the company’s headquarters in Varachha on Thursday.
Dholakiya told TOI, “1,500 employees have qualified under the loyalty programme, of which 600 have opted for cars while 900 will be given fixed deposit certificates. For the first time, employees will receive car keys and bank certificates from the hands of PM. Our four employees including a physically challenged daughter are in New Delhi. They will be meeting PM at his residence at 10am to accept the car keys. PM will also address the employees of Hari Krishna through video conferencing,” added Dholakiya.
He said that the company will be paying close to Rs 50 crore worth of incentives to the workers this year. The company had started the ‘loyalty programme’ in 2011. The Surat-based merchant had gifted 500 flats, 525 pieces of diamond jewellery and 200 flats to his employees in 2014 as Diwali bonus.
Kajal Sorathia (22), a disabled diamond planner is among four employees who will meet PM on Thursday. “I am super excited to meet the PM and accept my car’s key from him. Our colleagues in the company don’t know we are here to meet the PM. They will know only when they will see us with the PM through video conferencing.”
