What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn India, the founder of a pharmaceutical firm, MK Bhatia, has given four employees brand-new SUVs as a Diwali gift, for their hard work and loyalty.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCars. For staff. Gloria, that's what I call a recognition-forward holiday.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorCartoq reports they are Kia Sonets, and the company covers the thirty percent down payment and the monthly installments.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it's fully funded, with a payment plan that stays on the company's books. I'd call that a sustained appreciation framework.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe cars arrived under black cloth, and the dealership arranged four cakes for the ceremony. Cartoq says one recipient has been there five years.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBlack cloth, cakes, a reveal. It's basically a state ceremony.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLast year, Cartoq says, the same company gifted fifty-one Sonets. So this year's program is a reduction of forty-seven cars.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorForty-seven?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWell, a leaner fleet is a more focused fleet, and I'll defend that in any press room.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Bhatia has called his staff rockstar celebrities. Cartoq says he arrived at the handover in his own BMW. Nobody got one of those.
