Surat textile trader gives more than ₹1 lakh to 20 employees as Diwali bonus

Ramswarup Munde, an industrialist engaged in the textile business in Surat's Varachha area, has created a stir by giving a bonus of more than ₹1 lakh to his 20 employees on the occasion of Diwali, according to a report by Indian Express Gujarati.

Industrialist Munde decided to give this bonus in return for the dedication and contribution of his employees to the business. A video of this occasion is going viral on social media, in which Munde is not only providing financial assistance but also expressing immense respect and love towards his employees. Munde told the employees with full respect that it would be difficult for him to succeed without them and that the business runs throughout the year only because of the hard work of his employees. He further added that he considers his employees to be like members of his own family.

Hearing these emotional words from Munde, the employees became emotional and embraced the industrialist while weeping. Instead of the traditional practice of giving cash in an envelope, Munde used decorated silver-coloured puja plates for this special occasion. These plates were adorned with bundles of new notes of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200 and ₹500, which were given to each employee as a cash bonus.

The main objective behind this decision was so that employees could celebrate Diwali with their families without any financial worries. Munde's decision stems from his own personal experiences. Having been raised in poverty himself, he understands well the financial difficulties faced by ordinary families and the challenges in managing daily expenses.

People on social media are praising Munde's noble heart. Commenting on the video, people stated that very few people think so much about those working with them and actually do something about it.
