Diwali bonuses come in all
shapes and sizes. But when it is in the form of a beautiful car, then you have
got to be excited. Fiat Group Automobiles India Private Limited (FGAIPL) has delivered
its biggest bulk order for 455 units of the Fiat Punto hatchbacks to a
prominent business house in Surat, Gujarat. These beautiful cars were gifted to
employees as Diwali bonus. This is the largest single delivery made by any car
company in India, according to industry sources. This is also the biggest
number of cars given as Diwali bonus by any company. Maybe it is the best
Diwali gift so many people in a single organisation have received for a long,
long time!
