The Best Boss in the World? Meet the Man Who Rewarded Thousands of Employees with Cars and Apartments

A Chief Executive Officer has shocked many people with his rare act of generosity after he handed out bumper bonuses to employees.

Savji Dholakia

 

Savji Dholakia is the CEO of Hari Krishna Exports, which has gotten many people talking in recent times.

 

The man got people awed after recently gifting some 1,200 cars and 400 apartments to over 1,600 of his most loyal and hardworking staffers.

 

It’s not entirely unusual for bosses of successful companies to give out bonuses to employees on major holidays, but not many can claim that they are as generous as Dholakia.

 

“If we keep our employees happy, God will keep us happy,” Dholakia says, and while he is certainly not the only boss to claim that he puts his staff first, the man actually puts his money where his mouth is.

 

Oddity Central reports that Dholakia started a long streak of generous bonuses 20 years ago, when he gave three of his top employees their own cars, and he has been upping his game every year since then.

 

In 2014, he distributed Rs 500m (£6m, $7.5m) as performance incentives and last year, he gave away 491 cars and 200 apartments, but this year seems to be the most special yet.

To celebrate his company’s 25th anniversary, the man known as India’s most generous boss just gave away over 1,260 cars and 400 apartments to over 1,700 of his most valuable employees.

 

“We have selected 1,716 employees as the best performers this year. We are arranging houses for those who already have cars, while those who don’t have a four-wheeler will get one,” Dholakia said.“We have exports worth $700 million across more than 70 countries, but nothing is more valuable than our employees.”

 

The 53-year-old diamond merchant was born in a rural family in Saurashtra, dropped out of school in fourth grade an joined his uncle at a small diamond trading firm when he was just 13 years old.

 

In 1982, he started his own business with his uncle’s support, and after his three brothers joined him, Dholokia managed to turn Hari Krishna Exports into a powerhouse with an annual turnover of $750 million.

 

Living in a settlement for diamond polishers for years when he was young, Dholokia rode a moped and dreamed of one day owning his own house and a nice car. He claims those early days inspired him to take care of his employees.

 

“I realized that once you have taken care of basic needs of your family, which I feel is having your own house and car, you can focus and give 100% to work. I want my employees to give their 100%. And, that’s why I want them to be free of worries of meeting basic necessities,” he said in an interview.

Dholakia also takes his employees’ family members, especially their parents, on a 15-day sponsored vacation, twice a year.

 

“It is during this time that he tries to find out how his employees treat their families. Besides, we also occasionally organize family get-togethers so that he can remain in touch with their families,” said Naresh Mayani, HR manager of Hari Krishna Exports.

 

Regarding what these generous gifts mean to his workers, Savji Dholakia said: “I don’t have words to describe the happiness we see in them, and the happiness we feel.”

*********************************

 

My name is Mellisa and I am staying in Joburg, South Africa.

 

My husband works for a popular bank and I cannot specify where but the thing is he approached me last week and made a really difficult and crazy request.

 

He first asked if I would be happy to live a better life and move to a new and bigger house.

 

Obviously my answer was yes and so he went on. He said the only way for him to get a promotion was if I give his manager and boss s*x for 24 hours at the Hilton Hotel.

 

He asked me to just have s*x with his boss and he will be promoted and then we will have a better life.

 

My immediate response was 'No!' but he is pushing and pushing. He even promised to buy me a car that I wanted, a Jeep Cherokee.

I don't know what to do. He is getting quite angry with my refusal.

Hotel Workers Kill Boss, Abscond With CCTV, Car

The Niger State Police Command has started investigations into the killing of the owner of Deploo Hotel and Suites, Mr. Lucky Okonkwo, who was murdered in his hotel in Suleja, Niger State.

It was learnt that 59-year-old Lucky was stabbed to death on Friday by a three-man gang, suspected to be workers at the hotel, shortly after he returned from a trip to Kaduna. He was said to be at the hotel for the purpose of supervision.

It was learnt that after killing the victim, the suspects took away the Closed Circuit Television decoder of the hotel, the victim’s phones and fled in his Peugeot 406 saloon car.

They also took away a file containing certain information about the hotel.

The security men at the hotel, who were the prime suspects, were reported to have fled immediately the incident happened and had since been unreachable on their telephone lines.

They were identified as Frank Anavukko, Victor Anerah and Emmanuel Adeh.

A Punch correspondent was told that the incident was discovered on Saturday morning by a housekeeper who saw a pool of blood streaming out from the victim’s office. The matter was reported at the Madalla Police Division and some of the hotel workers were arrested.

Lucky, an indigene of Delta State, was said to be the immediate past Vice-President of the Nigerian Association of Technology Engineering, North-West zone.

The victim’s first son, Paul, told Punch Metro that his father was killed around 7pm. He explained that workers at the hotel claimed not to have known when his father was murdered.

He said, “He just returned from a trip and around 7pm of that day, he went to his office. When his workers didn’t see him and they discovered he was not reachable on his telephone lines, they called my mum the following day.

“She rushed down to the hotel and met him in a pool of blood. The workers claimed they didn’t know when it happened. They said they only saw three people going into his office and the same set of people driving out in his car. They said they also saw those people with the CCTV decoder and when they queried them, they said, ‘Oga asked us to go and repair it’.

“Aside from the CCTV and the car, those men also left with his money and other valuables. We don’t really know the motivation for the murder.”

Paul said the family reported the case to the police at the Madalla division, adding that some of the workers on duty at the time had been arrested. He urged the police to speed up investigations and bring the perpetrators of the crime to book.

A source told Punch Metro that the father of five struggled with his assailants before he was overpowered and killed.

He said, “The man was a retired PHCN worker. He was killed on Friday night. On Saturday morning, a man cleaning the hotel saw a pool of blood coming out of his office and raised the alarm. At the scene, there was a knife with which he was killed. There were also signs of struggle as the office table was broken. He had a deep knife cut in his palm, probably while he was holding the knife from piercing into him. They drove away his grey colour Peugeot 406 saloon car, with number plate KUJ-424 BB. They also made away with a file containing some information about the hotel.”

It was gathered that the case had already been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Minna. A source said the fleeing hotel guards were the prime suspects.

He said, “One of them is already in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. How can something happen on Friday and in less than 24 hours, you have already disappeared to Port Harcourt if not that you are culpable?”

The Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State Police Command, Elkana Bala, said the police were closing in on the suspects, adding that information available to the police showed Lucky was killed by his workers.

He said, “He was suspected to have been murdered by his workers; he was not killed by outsiders. After the incident, those male workers ran away with his Peugeot 406. We are trailing them. The SCIID, Homicide section, has commenced full investigations into the matter.”
