For most employees, a Diwali bonus means an extra salary, a box of sweets or perhaps a hamper of dry fruits. But for 20 employees of a Surat-based textile businessman, this year’s festive surprise came with a little more than the usual goodies; bundles of cash worth over Rs 1 lakh each, presented on ornate ceremonial trays.
A video capturing the unusual bonus distribution by Ramswaroop Munde, who runs a textile firm in Gujarat’s commercial hub, is now going viral on social media. The businessman reportedly rewarded each of his 20 employees with more than Rs 1 lakh in cash as a Diwali gift.

What made the gesture even more special was the way the money was presented. Instead of handing out cash in envelopes or transferring the bonus directly to their bank accounts, Munde arranged bundles of fresh currency notes on silver-like ceremonial puja thalis.
The trays featured neatly stacked bundles of notes in different denominations, ranging from Rs 10 to Rs 500. Adding a personal touch to the celebration, the employees’ wives presented the cash-filled trays to their husbands, turning the occasion into an emotional family moment.
The gesture clearly caught the employees off guard. Several of them appeared visibly overwhelmed as they received their gifts, with a few even breaking down in tears. Their reactions, captured in the video, offered a glimpse of just how much the unexpected reward meant to them.

The video has since made its way across social media platforms, attracting thousands of comments. While many users have applauded the textile businessman for recognising and rewarding his employees, others have jokingly wondered what it would take to land a job at his firm.
Several viewers also pointed out how refreshing it was to see an employer go beyond the customary festive gifts and make the occasion genuinely memorable for his workforce.
With Diwali traditionally being a time for sharing prosperity and celebrating with loved ones, Munde’s gesture has given his employees plenty of reasons to remember this year’s festivities.
