Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio’s Diwali gift for its workers was shared by an employee on Instagram. She unboxed the Diwali dabba that contained a brochure with a message from the Reliance family. Reminiscent of a cookie box, the container had a pouch with an assortment of gifts, including small packets of cashew, almonds, and raisins.

A user took a dig at the Ambanis for splurging crores on pop performers at their wedding gala while spending peanuts on Diwali gifts. “Ye shadi mein bach gay they!” Another user took a dig at the Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant wedding and pre-wedding extravagance.
