Indore startup founder Ankit Barbeta is making headlines after he introduced brand new electric cars as gifts to his employees. To recognize the significant contribution of four excellent employees of Innoveg.co.in, he donated Tata Nexon electric cars.
A heartwarming video posted by Ankit Barbeta about the accidental dedication and performance award has gone viral. The caption of the clip shared on Instagram reads: “Being a boss is my identity, but living for my loved ones is my happiness. Thank God, Nexon EV today for loved ones.”
Barbeta is seen holding four car keys and asking employees to pick one at random. In the video, he says, “Aaj hamare chaar yodhayon ko Tata Nexon EV di ja rahi hai. (Today our four warriors are getting Tata Nexon EV).” Each employee selects a car key and moves towards the vehicle to be unlocked with it.
Reaction on social networks
This strange surprise caused a wave of reactions on social media. The user wrote: “Leave the car sir, give me a job.”
The user replied: “This only looks good on videos, it doesn’t happen in real life. I’ve been working for almost 15 years and I haven’t received a single gift yet.”
A third user said: “I love all these videos. There’s nothing like this in reality. I haven’t even received a single gift in 15 years.”
A fourth user commented: “My company says it’s AI.”
A sixth user joked: “Brother, don’t bother with a car, I’ll be happy with a scooter.”
The fifth comment was: “Very few employers think about employees, after seeing they will be inspired. Employees who received gifts would work with even more dedication. Other employees will also be motivated to work with dedication and honesty.”
A Reddit user wrote: “Like the Koenigsegg Agera scene in Need for Speed.”
In the comments section, an employee heaped praise on the business leaders of Innoveg.co.in, saying, “Mr. Ankit and Mr. Saurabh are taking great care of us all. We are very lucky.”
