SURAT: The liquidity crisis may have dampened the spirits of Indian diamond industry this year. But it is going to be a glittering festival of lights for nearly 1,200 employees of Harikrishna Exports, the Rs 6,000-crore diamond firm of Surat.
The employees, who qualified in what the company calls 'loyalty programme' were given three options, car, flat or jewellery. Around 500 employees opted for brand new Fiat Punto cars, 570 for jewellery and around 207 chose a flat.
We are the first company in the world to offer performance incentive valued at around Rs 3.60 lakh to each of the 1,200 diamond workers," said Dholakia.
According to Dholakia, this year, the company has paid a total of Rs 50 crore worth of incentive to the workers.
"The average monthly earning of each of my artisan and engineer is Rs 1 lakh. There is one diamond artisan, who earns Rs 3.49 lakh per month. Artisans are the backbone of our industry and we have set an example by giving them highest wages in the industry," says Dholakia.
