Diwali, a festival symbolising the triumph of good over evil, marks the end of the year. In India, numerous employers wish to express their appreciation for their employees' hard work by gifting them a variety of valuable tokens. These offerings can range from luggage bags and customised company watches to even gifting fully-fledged cars to employees. Here, we highlight some of the most opulent gifts companies have bestowed upon their employees during this festive season:
