A heartwarming video from Indore has taken over social media, showing a startup founder gifting brand-new electric cars to four of his star employees.

The video was shared on Instagram by Barbeta with the caption, “Being a boss is my identity, but living for my loved ones is my fortune. Thank God, Nexon EV for those close ones today.”
A surprise for star employees:
In the video, Barbeta is seen holding four car keys, saying, “Aaj hamare chaar yodhayon ko Tata Nexon EV di ja rahi hai. (Today, our four warriors are being given Tata Nexon EVs).”
