Surat textile businessman gifts ₹1 lakh cash to each of his employees on Diwali; watch video

A textile businessman from Surat has caught the internet's attention for his generous Diwali 2026 bonus to employees. Videos of the celebration have gone viral on social media, with several employees seen getting emotional after receiving the unexpected gift. According to the viral post, the businessman gave each of his 50 employees more than ₹1 lakh in cash as a festive bonus.

Instead of following the conventional practice of distributing sweets and dry fruits, the trader chose to make the festival special by gifting his staff substantial cash rewards. The businessman has been identified as Ramswaroop Munde, who originally hails from Rajasthan and runs a textile business in Surat, Gujarat.

What made the gesture particularly memorable was the unique way in which the bonus was presented. Rather than distributing the money in envelopes or transferring it directly to employees' bank accounts, Munde arranged bundles of fresh currency notes on silver-coloured ceremonial puja thalis.


The trays featured neatly arranged bundles of currency notes in different denominations, ranging from ₹10 to ₹500.

Viral Post Highlights Businessman's Gesture Towards Employees

A social media post sharing the videos highlighted the businessman's philosophy of celebrating Diwali with the families of those who contribute to his business. It also praised his approach towards treating employees as members of his extended family.



"Meet Ramswaroop Mund, a textile businessman in Surat originally from Rajasthan. This Diwali, he gifted ₹1 LAKH CASH to each of his 50 employees, along with special gifts. But the money isn’t the most heartwarming part. His philosophy is simple: Why should Diwali celebrations be limited to his own home? The families of those who work hard alongside him deserve to celebrate with equal happiness. He doesn’t treat his employees merely as workers; he considers them part of his family. Money can make you wealthy, but a heart like this makes you truly RICH," read the post.
