Every year, only the color of the box changes; the gift remains the same”: Reliance Jio’s Diwali Gift Video Goes Viral
Reliance Jio’s Diwali gift of dry fruits sparks social media debate as employees and internet users react.
As Diwali approaches, the tradition of corporate gifting is in full swing, with companies across India showing appreciation through festive gifts and bonuses. According to a report, gifting budgets at India Inc have increased this year, with popular choices ranging from traditional dry fruits and chocolates to home decor, wellness products and eco-friendly options. Some companies even allow employees to select gifts from online portals for a more personalized touch.
In a viral video, a self-proclaimed Reliance employee reveals her Diwali gift from Jio, a box of dry fruits. The video has sparked reactions online, with thousands of comments.
One user humorously remarked, “Where’s the Haldiram soan papdi?”
Another commented, “Diwali with no sweets? The HR team could do better.”
The video has stirred mixed reactions, with some users joking about the lack of variety, and one even pointing out, “Fun fact:
Every year, only the color of the box changes; the gift remains the same.”
Another user expressed frustration: “Wow, this is what they give employees who are barely paid, while the big bucks go to the Shah Rukhs and Salmans.”
In response, one person commented, “Reliance gives the same gift every year. Work for Tata, and you’ll get nothing,” adding a humorous twist to the conversation.
The debate seemed to culminate in the comment, “Ise aacha gift to hamara boss deytay hai (My boss gives a better gift),” which humorously highlighted the differing expectations of Diwali gifts in the corporate world.
