Mar 27, 2020
One of India’s largest gold jewellery store chain, Kalyan Jewellers has assured its employees at non-operational showrooms across the country that it will continue to pay the salaries during the lockdown period.
The jewellery sector has been hit hard due to the country-wide lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) disease.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier requested India Inc to continue paying salaries to its employees during the lockdown period.
“The current situation around Covid-19 is unprecedented. During these challenging times, all Indian businesses will need to be cognizant of their societal roles. Even though there may be a temporary slow-down in revenues and profitability, at Kalyan Jewellers, we will continue to support all our staff financially and emotionally – be it our permanent employees or contractual employees or casual staff - by paying their full salaries,” in a statement said TS Kalyanaraman, managing director of Kalyan Jewellers.
"Our company will continue to keep up our commitment and work ethics during these testing times. We are certain that together we will all ride through this tough period soon,” Kalyanaraman added.
The Kerala-based Kalyan Jewellers is one of the largest jewellery manufacturers and distributors in India. It currently has around 144 showrooms across India.
