Chennai company gifts Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz and other car models to employees as Diwali gift; Here's why

A Chennai-based Team Detailing Solutions -- a structural steel design and detailing company -- has rewarded its employees with a generous gift, 28 cars and 29 bikes to improve productivity. The car models range from Hyundai, Tata, Maruti Suzuki, and Mercedes-Benz models.

As a reward for their hardwork and dedication, a variety of branch new cards including Hyundai, Tata, Maruti Suzuki, and Mercedes-Benz models were presented to the employees, an official told PTI.

"We wanted to show our appreciation for their (employees) tireless efforts in driving the company's success. We believe our employees are our greatest assets," said Managing Director of the city-based company, Sridhar Kannan.


He mentioned that the company has measured the employees' contribution based on their performance, years of service. "Our employees have demonstrated exceptional commitment and dedication, and we are proud to recognize their achievements," he added.

Kannan said the company has an employee base of about 180 people who hail from humble background and are highly skilled.

"We select the candidates who are highly motivated and a concept of buying a car or a bike is like a dream for them. We have been gifting bikes to the employees and in 2022 we gifted car to two of our senior colleagues. We have gifted 28 cars today. Some of them are Maruti Suzukis, Hyundais, Mercedes Benz as well.." he said.

Answering a media query, Kannan said "the company would offer the car or bike with a ceiling amount. If the employee needs a better vehicle than what the company has chosen, he needs to pay the remaining amount."

Not just cars and bikes, the company is also providing funds to employees as marriage assistance. "If a colleague is getting married we were giving them Rs 50,000 as marriage assistance. Now, we have increased that to Rs 1 lakh from this year," he said.

"We expect this gesture (from the company) to boost morale, motivation and productivity. We are proud to recognise the employee efforts. We will continue to prioritize employee development and customer satisfaction", he added.
