Most Diwali gifts follow the same quiet pattern — opened with delight, eaten within days, forgotten within weeks. Appreciation in the moment isn't the same as being remembered months later.

This piece walks through the most common corporate Diwali gifting mistakes, why they keep repeating year after year, and the simple fixes that stop them before they cost you a smoother, more meaningful gifting season.
