sharing profits with employees in a partial as well as extravagant manner where

Profile of Savji Dholakia
Savji Dholakia
was born on 12th April, 1962 in Amreli, Gujarat. His father was a
humble farmer and initial life of Dholakia was not as such lavish. His uncle
was a diamond merchant and earning handsomely. Dholakia used to dream about
following the footsteps of his uncle in the diamond business.
At the age of
13, Savji decided to quit studying. He dropped out from school despite
resistance from the family. He further persuaded his father to go to Surat to
work in the diamond center of his uncle. Persuasion worked and Savji joined the
business a polishing worker. He used to get small amount of money as salary. However,
he was started to learn the business and also got to know the importance of
happy and satisfied employees in the sensitive business of diamond trading.
Savji along with
two of his brothers started own diamond polishing business in 1984. There were
very few orders to them, but they worked really hard to make a place in the
highly competitive diamond market of Surat. Later, Savji started his own
company in 1992 and since then there is no looking back.
Currently, Savji
Diamond Company is among top three companies in India. And, when it comes to
reputation and employees satisfaction in this sector, he ranks first.
Relation with
Employees.
As mentioned
above, Savji has always shown large heart towards his employees. In 2014, he
stole the lime light while distributing flats and cars worth Rs. 50 crores to
employees as Diwali bonus. In 2016, he again repeated the same largesse and
made national headlines.
Son of Savji Dholakia
Savji Dholakia
is not only a great businessman, but he also wants to keep up with the
tradition of working hard to make a mark in this world of cut throat
competition. The example of his son is quite interesting.
The name of
Savji Dholakia son is Dhravya. There is no denying that Dhravya is a rich guy. He
studied from the best school and later went to the USA to complete MBA. When he
returned back to India, Savji sent him to Kerala with three clothes and few
cash in hand. He asked him to stay in Kerala where Dhravya never visited, and
find a job. Savji also ensured that Dhrvya didn’t get money from any of his
friends. He wanted to let his son learn few hard lessons of life. An NDTV
reporter followed his son and found him working really hard in a small shop in Kochi to earn few hundred
rupees.
Needless to say,
Dhravya has now joined the diamond business and expected to take it to new
heights. Savji Dholakia and his family members are not just rich; they are
living example for everyone.
