Diwali is an opportunity for companies to appreciate their employees and celebrate the people behind their work. But choosing the right gift can be challenging—especially when the budget is limited to ₹1,500 per employee.
A good Diwali gift should feel thoughtful, useful and appropriate for a diverse workforce rather than simply being another promotional item.
What Can You Expect from a ₹1,500 Diwali Gift Budget?
Corporate gifting budgets have been becoming more structured in India. According to research cited in Pramara Promotions’ 2023–24 Annual Report, 67% of respondents have a well-defined corporate gifting budget. The same report states that approximately 60% of individuals prefer corporate gifts made in India, while 8 out of 10 want environmentally friendly gifts that send a positive message.
