This American tech giant* has a huge Global Technical Support Center in Bangalore.  As a Diwali gift, each of their Tech Support employees will get Rs. 5000 extra in their salary and a Samsung Tablet.

But this Tech major also has a Lucky Draw which has caught the attention of everyone in the tech industry.  Between Oct 24 - Oct 28 (Inclusive) there will be a Lucky Draw where employee’s names will be pulled out of a Box containing names.
