The Internet praises
“Meet Ramswaroop Mund, a textile merchant in Surat originally from Rajasthan. This Diwali he gifted ₹1 LAKH CASH to each of its 50 employees along with special gifts. But money is not the kindest thing. His philosophy is simple: Why should Diwali celebrations be limited to his own home? The families of those who work hard by his side deserve to be celebrated with equal happiness. He does not treat his employees only as workers; he considers them part of his family. Money can make you rich, but a heart like this makes you truly RICH,” the post read.
In response, a user wrote in the comments section, “The companies should be a little ashamed. They give 100g of kaju badam.” “The ‘why should Diwali be limited to my home’ part got me. and passing it on puja thalis instead of envelopes, that’s not a bonus, that’s family,” commented another.
