Corporate gifting in India is a ₹25,000 crore industry and dry fruits are its most popular category. Here's why — and how to choose the right gift.
Why Dry Fruits Are the Ideal Corporate Gift
Universal appeal — Unlike sweets or chocolates, dry fruits are appreciated by health-conscious employees, senior executives, and clients across age groups.
Long shelf life — No perishability concerns. A well-packaged hamper lasts 6–12 months.
Cultural significance — In Indian culture, dry fruits symbolise health, prosperity, and respect. They're appropriate for every occasion — Diwali, weddings, promotions, and thank-you gestures.
GST-claimable — Corporate gifts below ₹5,000 per person per year are not subject to fringe benefit tax, and can often be claimed as a business expense.
