THIS company gifts Creta SUVs to employees, not Mukesh Ambani's Reliance, Ratan Tata's TCS or Adani Group, name is…
A Chennai-based company has caught the attention of many social media users due to its unusual act. Usually during the appraisal time most of the companies pay money as a form of bonus. Sometimes they also give gifts but they can be mostly like vouchers. But this company has given a huge bonus and that is brand new SUVs.
The celebrations happenned at the company's office in the World Trade Center in Chennai with more than 500 team members. A company has done this to express gratitude and goodwill towards loyal staff by gifting brand new SUVs. So, this company is Agilisium which is a tech services firm.
They were celebrating a decade of its operations so gifted 25 brand-new Hyundai Creta SUVs to some of its most loyal employees. These employees have been part of the company since its foundation.
The SUV handover was a surprise for many employees, the joy which made them emotional. Agilisium also gave salary hikes on individual performance across every level of the organization. Agilisium later shared pictures and highlights from the occasion on its LinkedIn page.
'Marking a decade of collective achievement and guided by our Founder & CEO, Raj Babu's unwavering commitment, we honored employees who had completed ten years of service by gifting SUV cars. This act embodied our belief that giving back to our people is the foundation of lasting success. This wasn't merely a recognition of tenure; it celebrated the spirit of generosity in our culture from the start. As long-serving colleagues drove off in their SUVs, they reflected on the journey, the challenges overcome, the teams they helped build, and the confidence in a shared future,' was mentioned in the post.
'Our success story belongs to each of you. Without your commitment, we would not be here. I'm honored to gift SUV cars to those who stood by us from day one as a token of our deepest gratitude,' the CEO said in the LinkedIn post.

Knowledge Realty Trust raises ₹1,620 crore from anchor investors in IPO
Knowledge Realty Trust, sponsored by realty firm Sattva Group and Blackstone, on Monday garnered₹ 1,620 crore from anchor investors ahead of its REIT public issue opening for public subscription. Those who have been allotted shares in the anchor round included TATA AIG General Insurance Company, Life Insurance Corporation of India, Nippon India Mutual Fund (MF), Axis MF, Tata MF, Amundi, Wells Capital, Jhunjhunwala Trust and 360 ONE, according to a circular uploaded on BSE's website. As per the circular, Knowledge Realty Trust has allotted 16.2 crore units to anchor investors at ₹100 per unit. Additionally, the company received a strategic allocation of ₹1,200 crore from institutional investors. The ₹4,800-crore REIT initial public offering will be open from August 5-7. The company has set a price band of ₹95 to ₹100 per unit. This initial public offering (IPO) is entirely a fresh issuance of units by Knowledge Realty Trust. In early March, KRT filed the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with Sebi to launch an IPO and list the REIT on stock exchanges. This is part of a strategy to monetise its 30 prime office assets across major cities. Initially, the company planned to raise a total of ₹6,200 through a public issue. In June, it raised ₹1,400 crore from investors. Accordingly, the issue size has been reduced to ₹4,800 crore. KRT is set to become India's largest REIT by gross asset value (around ₹62,000 crore). Its net operating income stood at ₹3,432 crore in the previous financial year. KRT owns over 46 million sq ft of office assets across 29 assets in six cities, primarily Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. The assets include One BKC and One World Center in Mumbai, Knowledge City, and Knowledge Park in Hyderabad and Cessna Business Park and Sattva Softzone in Bengaluru. Blackstone and Sattva will continue to own about 80 per cent of the REIT. At present, there are four listed REITs (real estate investment trusts) in India -- Brookfield India Real Estate Trust, Embassy Office Parks REIT, Mindspace Business Parks REIT, and Nexus Select Trust. Apart from Nexus Select Trust, the other three REITs are backed by rent-yielding office assets. Nexus owns a large portfolio of retail real estate spaces. Bengaluru-based Sattva Developers has so far constructed 74 million sq ft across seven Indian cities in commercial, residential, co-living, co-working, hospitality, and data centre sectors. An additional 75 million sq ft is in the planning and implementation stage. Blackstone, one of the leading global investment firms, has a huge exposure in the Indian real estate market. The two sponsors have decided to adopt a brand-neutral strategy to grow the KRT portfolio inorganically through third-party acquisitions. The existing four REITs have a combined portfolio of over 126 million sq ft of Grade A office and retail space across the country. Since their inception, these REITs have collectively distributed over ₹21,000 crore to unitholders.
