Analysed 30 Oct 2026·3 sources analysed·Delhi, India·Lifestyle
Corporate and Festive Gifting Trends Shift Toward Personalization and Meaningfulness in IndiaPreviousNext

Corporate gifting in India is evolving beyond traditional festive hampers to include personalized and meaningful presents throughout the year. Employees increasingly receive gifts like laptop bags, perfumes, or plants to mark milestones, enhancing their sense of value. Experts note that truly personal gifts reflect the recipient's preferences rather than generic items with names or photos. Additionally, original art is gaining popularity as a lasting, thoughtful alternative to conventional festive gifts like sweets or decorative items.
