India Spent Rs 4,25,00,00,00,000 this Diwali and it's not over yet. We celebrate Diwali as a festival of light and the homecoming of Lord Rama.  It is India's biggest festival and a major boost for the Indian economy. ₹0.5 lakh crore in 2019 to an expected ₹4.25 lakh crore in 2024, Diwali spending has seen exponential growth. It clearly shows the rise in disposable income and the change in the mindset of Indians when it comes to spending.

How did you celebrate Diwali this year?

The Diwali festival week is finally over. A good week of festivities, laughter, togetherness and cracker fun… Last year Diwali generated a business of ₹3.75 Lacs Crore which is expected to increase to ₹4.25 Lacs Crore this year, according to CAIT. I remember when I started my professional journey with an appliances manufacturing giant, we had 2 major events in the company - 1. Summer season 2. Diwali season These were the 2 events where production had to be increased to meet the demand. This means more raw material required (more business for SME suppliers), more man hours required, more deliveries and eventually more sales… Festivals are very important as they help many businesses at multiple levels by encouraging more spending. #Diwali

Happy Diwali! This year from Thursday 31st Oct to Friday 1st November is Diwali - the Hindu Festival of Light. It’s also celebrated by Sikhs and Jains. Diwali symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. It is a time for families to get together, give presents and decorate their houses with bright lights. A key part of the Diwali celebrations for many Hindus is the telling of an epic poem known as the Ramayana, the story of which signifies the ultimate victory of good over evil. In the poem, when Rama and Sita returned from Lanka at night, villagers lit rows of oil lamps along the streets to guide them home. These lamps are known as diyas or divas. The word Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word ‘deepavali’, which means ‘a row of lighted lamps’. The deeper significance of diyas is that they symbolise light’s ability to overcome darkness and good over evil. To this day, people celebrate Diwali by lighting diyas or candles in their homes – a true Festival of Light. During Diwali, families often make decorative patterns of diyas, lotus flowers and other designs out of coloured rice flour. Families exchange gifts, enjoy a feast (with lots of Indian sweets with rose water or cardamom) and often light fireworks. How to wish someone a ‘happy Diwali’? A simple ‘Happy Diwali’ will do the trick! Or you could offer a more traditional Diwali greeting by saying ‘wishing you a Diwali that brings happiness, prosperity and joy to you and all your family.’   Isn’t that lovely? #DiversityandInclusion #Inclusion #Leadership #GlobalAndInclusive
