The 10th edition of the \u2018Hurun Most Respected Entrepreneurs Awards\u2019 and Gala Dinner organised on 2nd February at Taj Lands End, Mumbai was graced by various dignitaries like Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, as the Keynote Speaker; Ashwin Dani, Non-Executive Chairman of Asian Paints; Nadir Godrej, MD of Godrej Industries; Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, Chairman and MD of Cyrus Poonawalla Group, amongst others.

During his speech at the event, Govind Dholakia said, \u201cWe don\u2019t believe in life insurance policy, because for us, our family is our life insurance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hurun Report is the world\u2019s leading entrepreneurship platform focused on promoting some of the most amazing stories of entrepreneurship in India and China.<\/p>\n
SRK, throughout its journey of six decades has been well known in the gems and jewellery industry and beyond not only for its diamonds and leadership in sustainability practices, but also for its workplace culture and ethics, which upholds family-like values and feelings.<\/p>\n
The company not only addresses its people as \u201cfamily members\u201d and never as \u201cemployees\u201d, but also takes all its decisions keeping in mind the well-being of its people.\u00a0 Reportedly, during the recession of 2008 and the pandemic of 2020, not a single person was laid off from SRK and everyone was given their regular salary.<\/p>\n
The company said despite being a family-business, there is never a complaint of nepotism, because even the family members of the management team have to undergo training to grow to their positions of responsibility. \u201cWe don\u2019t recruit employees; we recruit family members who will go the extra mile for the firm, as we go the extra mile for them,\u201d an SRK spokesperson said. Elaborating further, Govind Dholakia noted, \u201cOur company has been made into a family; we haven\u2019t made our family into a company!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
