Work-life balance gets a boost this Diwali

Business

This Diwali, Indian companies are making work-life a little brighter.
From flexible hours and remote work options to festive bonuses and gifts, firms across manufacturing, automotive, and consumer durables are stepping up for their teams.
Even blue-collar workers are set to receive extra payouts and traditional gifts.

Nine-day break, flexible timings, and remote work options

Big names like RPG Group now allow up to 50% remote work with flexible timings.
Deloitte is letting teams skip the office rush by working from home around the holidays.
Some companies—like Embassy Group—are giving employees a full nine days off for Diwali (October 18-26), making it easier to celebrate with family.

Financial perks help people juggle work and festivities

South Indian companies have already handed out some bonuses, while auto dealerships expect bigger payouts thanks to strong sales.
The combo of flexible schedules plus financial perks helps people juggle work and festivities—and keeps spirits high during India's busiest season.

Happy teams make for smoother business

These changes aren't just about celebration—they show how workplaces are tuning into what employees need: less stress, more time with loved ones, and a little extra in their pockets when it counts most.
It's a reminder that happy teams make for smoother business, especially when everyone's celebrating together.
