Rakhi corporate gifting is less universal than Diwali but has grown as a recognised occasion at companies that want to acknowledge workplace relationships beyond the hierarchical employee-employer gift exchange, often framed around team or peer appreciation rather than a top-down gift.
A common approach: a modest, inclusive gift — a small gadget or accessory — offered to all employees regardless of gender, framed around workplace camaraderie rather than the festival's traditional sibling-specific meaning, to keep the gesture genuinely inclusive.
Budgets here tend to be modest, typically in line with or slightly below a standard employee-appreciation gift (₹500–₹1,500), since Rakhi is usually a supplementary gesture on the gifting calendar rather than a primary annual event.
If your company is considering adding Rakhi gifting for the first time, start small and gauge reception before committing to it as a recurring annual event — it's easier to expand a well-received small gesture than to walk back an ambitious one.
