While many business owners celebrate milestones with luxury, Kailash Kabra, founder of Gujarat’s Kabra Jewels, chose differently. Instead of buying a high-end car after his company reached a ₹200 crore turnover, he gifted brand-new cars to 12 loyal employees, as reported by the media.
The grand ceremony, held at the company’s headquarters, was an emotional and unforgettable event. Employees, many of whom had been with the company since its early days, were left stunned as they were handed the keys to Mahindra XUV 700s, Toyota Innovas, Hyundai i10s, Hyundai Xcents, and Maruti Suzuki Ertigas. But the surprises didn’t stop there other employees received two-wheelers, mobile phones, family holiday packages, and even gold and silver coins as tokens of appreciation.
According to media report, Kabra, the decision to reward his team was deeply personal. “This company was not built by me alone it was built by the people who stood by me through every challenge,”he said.“Rather than buying myself a luxury car, I wanted to give back to those who have helped me achieve this success.”
A Journey of Growth and Loyalty
Kabra, who started his jewelry business at just 21 years old, recalled the company’s early days. “When we started, we had just 12 employees and a turnover of ₹2 crore. Today, our team has grown to 140 members, and we’ve crossed ₹200 crore in sales for the financial year 2024-25. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without my team’s dedication.”
This generous gesture has not only boosted employee morale but also set a shining example in the business world. Many companies offer annual bonuses or incentives, but few go to such lengths to acknowledge their employees’ hard work.
With this grand gesture, Kailash Kabra has proven that true leadership isn’t just about personal success it’s about lifting others up along the way.
