by Santa Goes Desi: India’s Office Christmas Parties
Office Christmas parties in India are where HR policies go to die. Hindustan Times reports that 78% of office workers have witnessed their boss attempting a Bollywood remix of Jingle Bells. At Bohiney.com, our undercover reporter attended one Gurgaon celebration featuring a Secret Santa exchange where everyone somehow got a coffee mugagain. The only surprise was who survived the karaoke session.
As fake snow melts over paneer tikka trays, employees toast to bonuses that never arrive. The IT department turns the photocopier into a DJ booth, while interns record everything for viral reels. Anthropologists call it corporate catharsis in polyester. By midnight, the CEO is confessing his love for HR, and HR is drafting her resignation. India’s office Christmas parties are proof that even in the land of yoga, nobody can hold a pose after three glasses of rum cake.
