Chandigarh– In a dazzling display of corporate generosity that’s lighting up social media brighter than Diwali fireworks, MITS Group founder and chairman MK Bhatia surprised his team by handing over keys to 51 brand-new Mahindra Scorpio SUVs as a festive bonus. The heartwarming handover, captured in viral videos from the company’s grand Diwali bash at its Panchkula headquarters, has netizens flooding comments with pleas like “Humko bhi naukri do!” and “Any openings for a career switch?”
Bhatia, who rebuilt his empire from bankruptcy in 2002 to helm 12 thriving pharma firms today, didn’t hold back on the praise for his “rockstar celebrities.” In a LinkedIn post accompanying photos of the “Car Gift Rally” from the showroom to Mits House Office, he wrote: “I’ve never called them employees or staff—they are the backbone of my company, the stars who make every scene of our journey a blockbuster. Some rides have already arrived, and more are on the way. This Diwali is going to be extra special!” The gifts targeted top performers, including fresh graduates the company trains annually, underscoring Bhatia’s philosophy of motivation through recognition.
This isn’t Bhatia’s first rodeo with such lavish rewards. Last year, he doled out 15 cars just before Diwali, and in 2023, it was 12—escalating to this record 51 as a “team-building exercise” to keep spirits high amid booming sales. The event, blending celebration with surprise, left staff beaming as Bhatia personally distributed keys, turning a routine festival into a milestone of gratitude.
Social media erupted with admiration and humor. One X user quipped, “Showed this to my boss— he said it’s AI-generated,” while another joked, “Boss, update my salary or I’ll apply here!” Praise poured in for Bhatia’s rags-to-riches story and employee-first ethos, with many hailing it as a blueprint for modern leadership. As India gears up for the festival of lights, this pharma powerhouse’s gesture reminds us that the best gifts aren’t just wrapped—they’re wheeled. Who knows, it might inspire a wave of “Diwali drive” bonuses across boardrooms everywhere.
