Income tax raid soon?
If the last year turnover was Rs 6,000 Crore Dholakia should have given the bonus to all of 6,000 employees! It would still have saved Rs 5,760 Crore.

Watched a 30 min interview with Savjhibhai Dholakia on NDTV: Why I Gifted Cars, Flats: India's Most Generous Boss Talks to NDTV and my views have changed after posting my previous statement about providing every employee a car.
The men's a Gem! His vision is not limited to his firm, rather like Google, he takes care of his employees like his family member. He treats his employees not as workers, but as shareholders. And he views that in order for a firm to make profit, its employees should be happy.
He gifted 3 Maruti 800 cars to his employees almost 18 years back so this giveaway just had a bigger scale. He expects from his employees to treat their family members with equal respect, wants them to wear helmet and also don't allow anyone to chew tobacco in the premises. He spends for emplyee's parents to go for Haridwar journey. He wants to give certification to his diamond cutters since he treats no less than Engineers! He not only has a vision for his company, rather have a vision for his city, Surat. And believes that this city still have a long scope to improve. In related news:

He's an example for businessman and bosses out there!

even I had watched that interview of his y'day on NDTV. that 'uneducated' gentleman is a walking treasure-chest of human & workmanship ethics & values which the whole bunch of us 'educated' folks should borrow & imbibe from.
Perfectly said. But its near impossible for 'educated' folks to borrow his level of workmanship ethics. Today's so called education teaches us from a very young age the importance of money and for any person doing MBA, 'ethics' would be a secondary thing than 'how to drive maximum profit'. As said by the host of the interview himself, what he did was counter intuitive to most businessmen. What Dholakiya did was out of his "belief" and "moral values". Business runs on none of them, they run on "numbers".
Majority of people don't even care about their family, no one bats an eye. One man atleast takes care of his people, and doomgiver looses their mind.

and at the same time we also have business man like Ambanis, Malyas etc who do not believe in Sharing with employees, they only believe swallowing from their employees plate,
This man truly deserve much respect and appreciation, just see his interview and his ideas about society and employer employee relation,

We dont make Diamonds, we make humans for society, wow respect going up and up
Among the diamond world he is dearly known as "Savji kaka" and his story is truly a "rags to riches" one.
But he is not the only one, in Surat so many people in the diamond and textile business take good care of their employees and their families.
This is the reason employees don't change their workplaces for decades even in the unorganized businesses in Surat.
I am proud and happy to live here

i have worked with employers who consider their employees as slave and most of the times, any good benefit which supposed to be passed to employees were taken away by senior managers, MDs, but this incident is silver lining,
Normally employees dont need a car or lakhs of rupees as bonus or incentive, just a mere few words of appreciation, few percent of yearly rise, proper working condition thats all people need, but many companies dont even provide this things, hope other companies learn from people like Savjibhai,
all MBA istitute should include a subject on how to treat employees, that will surely change the way people work in a company, make them partner give them some space to think and respect

agreed. i was at first going to write something like this ^^ & about the 'profit-hunting' attitude of the terribly predatory world in general, but then thought of not expounding on something that's already well-known (and easily forgotten) and mar this thread about a fine gentleman with the unsavoury.

@Adityag wrote correct. there's some unique bond between the traders of Surat i feel, esp. the diamond ones, as y'day i spotted some headline somewhere that Surat's diamond-traders are contemplating establishing an airlines. the usual friction and petty rivalry that exists among businesses/businessmen seems to exist less between these traders.
also, just recalled watching a HOMP episode long back, where Mayur & Rocky visit a diamond-processing centre in Surat. looking in hindsight, i recall that the rep who showed them around seemed very enthusiastic, non-bossy kind, sharing a good camaraderie with the company's, mind if i say, 'workers', and explained many things to them well. the whole place seemed to ooze good energy; i just felt so.

Back to school!!
He can only give since its a private firm with him being the sole shareholder. The moment he expands with partners or if he ever goes public I can personally guarantee he won't be able to give even a pack of odomos to his employees. Such is the sad state of business now a days. But very good job, good job indeed.
