Dasara corporate gifts
Dasara lands a few weeks before Diwali, and for a lot of companies - particularly in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh - it is the more significant of the two.
Planning around Ayudha Puja
Where Ayudha Puja is observed, gifting often goes to plant, workshop and field teams as well as to the office, and those lists are usually held separately. Pulling them together early is what prevents a second, rushed order a week later at worse rates.
Because Dasara and Diwali fall close together, the practical move is to source both in one round. Same shortlist, same sample approval, two dispatch dates. It costs less and it removes the risk of the second occasion being handled under time pressure.
Who usually gets included
Office teams
The standard per-head round, typically the largest single list.
Plant and workshop teams
Often a different product choice - practical, hard-wearing, useful at home.
Field and site staff
Delivery is the constraint here rather than the gift; addresses need collecting early.
Vendors and contractors
A smaller list, but one that is rarely counted until late.
