CEO's car-gifting tradition continues
This is not the first time Bhatia has made headlines for giving cars to employees. In October 2025, he gifted 51 vehicles to top-performing team members for Diwali.
According to Hindustan Times' earlier report, Bhatia described his employees as the people behind the company's success and said their hard work and dedication deserved recognition.
