Brass Idols as Corporate Gifts — Diwali & Year-End Bulk Supplier from Khatauli
Ganesh for new beginnings, Lakshmi for prosperity, Saraswati for knowledge — a brass idol is the corporate gift that actually gets displayed, not the one that lands in a drawer by November.
What we do for corporate brass gifting buyers.
Every HR team and corporate admin faces the same October problem: what to send to 200 / 500 / 2,000 clients, vendors, and employees that feels thoughtful, is on-brand, and doesn't get tossed. Sweets are forgettable. Dry fruit is healthy but generic. A brass idol is the rare corporate gift that recipients actually keep on their desk or home altar — we get the WhatsApp photos back, often years later, from the same clients who would have ignored a fruit basket. We have supplied corporate gifting programmes for over a decade, including repeat orders from banks, NBFCs, pharma companies, IT services firms, and real-estate developers across India and the Gulf. Our largest single corporate order to date was 8,400 pieces (Lakshmi-Ganesh pairs) shipped to 1,200 addresses across nine Indian states for a financial services firm's 2024 Diwali campaign.
Bulk pricing tiers for corporate orders
Corporate orders unlock tiered pricing below our standard retail rate. The tiers are based on total piece count (not value), apply to a single design or a mixed design basket, and are valid for one programme season. Tier discounts stack with our existing multi-piece discounts — a 500-piece Ganesh order at the 500-piece tier is cheaper than 500 single-piece retail orders would be, by 25–35%.
| Order size | Discount vs. retail | Lead time (after artwork approval) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50–99 pieces | 10% | 10–14 days | Standard catalog designs only |
| 100–249 pieces | 15% | 14–21 days | Mix up to 3 designs |
| 250–499 pieces | 20% | 21–28 days | Mix up to 5 designs; custom packaging |
| 500–999 pieces | 25% | 28–35 days | Mix up to 8 designs; engraving permitted |
| 1,000+ pieces | 30% | 35–45 days | Bespoke moulds for new designs; full custom packaging |
Tiers are calculated on the total of a single shipment. If your programme is split across two drops (e.g. 500 pieces for Diwali and 500 for New Year), each shipment is priced independently. If you want the cumulative discount applied to both, ask for a multi-drop proposal when you send the enquiry.
Gift packaging options
The idol is one part of the corporate gift; the packaging is the other. The default option is a corrugated brown shipping carton with foam inserts, designed to survive 1,500 km of road transport but not particularly display-worthy. Most corporate programmes upgrade to one of three branded packaging options, each of which we fulfil in-house.
Option A — Branded printed carton (most popular)
A 4-colour printed corrugated carton with your company logo, Diwali greeting, and a custom message on the inside flap. Outer dimensions 8″×8″×10″, fits a 6″ seated deity with foam cradle. Minimum order: 100 pieces. Lead time adds 5–7 days for print setup. Cost per piece: ₹45–₹85 depending on quantity.
Option B — Wooden gift box (premium tier)
A hinged wooden box (pine or mango wood, matte finish) with a velvet-foam cradle inside. The box can be screen-printed or laser-engraved with your logo. Outer dimensions 9″×9″×11″, fits a 6″ or 8″ idol. Minimum order: 50 pieces. Lead time adds 10–14 days for wood procurement. Cost per piece: ₹220–₹380 depending on wood and finish.
Option C — Fabric pouch (eco-friendly tier)
A drawstring jute or organic-cotton pouch with a small printed card insert. Eco-friendly and reusable. Outer pouch dimensions fit a 4″–6″ idol. Minimum order: 100 pieces. Lead time adds 7–10 days. Cost per piece: ₹30–₹55.
Custom engraving and personalisation
For orders of 250+ pieces, we can laser-engrave the brass base of the idol with your company logo, a recipient name, a year, or a short greeting (up to 60 characters). Engraving adds ₹18–₹35 per piece depending on complexity and is done before the final lacquer so it sits under the protective coat and does not tarnish.
Per-recipient engraving (e.g. "For Rajesh, Diwali 2026, from Acme Corp") requires a spreadsheet of recipients at the time of order. We do not store the spreadsheet after fulfilment. For Diwali 2026 orders, the recipient spreadsheet must reach us by 25 September at the latest — engraving after that date pushes the production slot into mid-October and risks missing Diwali.
- Company logo on base only — most common, ₹18/piece
- Company logo + year (e.g. "Diwali 2026") — ₹24/piece
- Recipient name + company + year — ₹35/piece (requires spreadsheet)
- Custom Sanskrit shloka on the rear of the base — ₹45/piece, 5-day tooling setup
Multi-address shipping and dispatch logistics
Most corporate programmes ship to multiple destinations — sometimes dozens, sometimes thousands. Our multi-address shipping workflow uses a courier aggregator (Delhivery, BlueDart, or DTDC depending on the destination) with a single dispatch manifest per pin code. You provide an Excel sheet with name, address, phone, and pin code for each recipient; we generate shipping labels, hand the manifest to the courier, and share daily dispatch updates via a shared Google Sheet.
For destinations outside our courier aggregator's reach (remote towns, the North-East, J&K, the Andamans), we use India Post Speed Post and add 5–7 days to the delivery window. For international addresses (NRI clients, Gulf offices), we ship by air freight via BlueDart or DHL with destination-country customs clearance handled by the recipient's nominated broker.
GST credit notes and invoice handling
Corporate gifting falls under the GST " gifts " classification (Schedule I, Section 17(5)(g)) and the input tax credit on gifts exceeding ₹5,000 per recipient per year is blocked under GST law. For recipients where the gift value is below ₹5,000 (which covers most of our corporate idols in the 3″–6″ range), ITC may be available — but the buyer must check with their tax team because individual treatment varies by state and by the buyer's GST registration category.
Our corporate invoices carry the buyer's GSTIN, the HSN code (7419 for cast brass articles), the unit price, the CGST / SGST or IGST split as applicable, and a clear note that the goods are supplied as a gift. If a recipient later returns the gift and you need a credit note, we issue it within 7 working days of receipt. Credit-note returns are rare but we have the workflow in place — usually only when an employee has left the company or a recipient address is undeliverable.
Gifting season timelines — when to place your order
The corporate gifting season runs from mid-August to mid-November for Diwali, with a smaller peak in late December for year-end and New Year programmes. Production slots fill in chronological order of enquiry receipt — by mid-September, our Diwali production slots for 500+ piece orders are typically full. Below is the indicative production calendar for the 2026 season.
| Order size | Confirm by | Ship by | Delivery window |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50–99 pieces | 15 Oct | 25 Oct | 1–5 Nov |
| 100–249 pieces | 5 Oct | 20 Oct | 25 Oct – 1 Nov |
| 250–499 pieces | 25 Sep | 15 Oct | 20–30 Oct |
| 500–999 pieces | 15 Sep | 10 Oct | 15–25 Oct |
| 1,000+ pieces | 5 Sep | 5 Oct | 10–20 Oct |
If your gifting programme is annual and the size is predictable, we can reserve a standing production slot in August that protects your delivery window year on year. Talk to us about a multi-year agreement if you want guaranteed slots for the 2027 and 2028 seasons as well.
