A personal message from the owner means a lot, especially in a small or mid-size company. Keep {{name}} as it is; it becomes each employee's name. Change the company name and sign-off to yours.

Send a Diwali card or bonus letter PDF with each name
If you prepare a Diwali card or a bonus letter, you do not need to make one file per employee. Upload one PDF or image to Rapid Sender, place a name box where the name should go, and every employee receives their own copy with their name printed on it. Hindi and Gujarati fonts are available, so the name can match your card.
Keep anything confidential, like salary details, out of the shared design. Put the per-person amount in a column such as {{bonus}} in the message text instead, and test with your own number first.
How to send these to every employee with their name
- 1
Export your employee list
From your HR or payroll sheet, keep the name and mobile columns (and bonus, if you use it). Save as Excel or CSV.
- 2
Link your WhatsApp
Open rapid-sender.com and scan the QR code from WhatsApp, Linked devices, or use the pairing code. It runs in the browser; nothing to install.
- 3
Upload and write
Upload the sheet, paste a wish, and click + Name to insert {{name}}. The live preview shows the exact message one employee will get.
- 4
Attach the card (optional)
Add your Diwali card or letter as an image or PDF and print each employee's name on it.
- 5
Test and send
Send a test to yourself, then start. A random pause of 7 to 10 seconds between messages means about 16 minutes per 100 employees. The report shows who got it, and you can download it as Excel.
Tips for Diwali messages at work
Send on the last working day before the holiday (in 2026, likely Friday 6 November), during office hours.
One personal message beats a group forward. Employees notice when the owner writes to them directly.
Keep work out of it: no targets, no reminders, no "please check mail" in a Diwali wish.
A Hindi or Gujarati wish is welcome in most Indian workplaces. Pick the language your team speaks.
Respect everyone: some employees may not celebrate Diwali. A warm "happy holidays and thank you" line works for all.
Message employees on the work or personal numbers they have shared with HR for this kind of update.
Frequently asked questions
What do I write to employees on Diwali?
Thank them for something specific from the year, wish their family well, and tell them to enjoy the break. Two or three lines are enough. The templates above are a good starting point.
Should the owner message each employee personally?
Yes, if you can. A message with the employee's name from the owner's own number feels far more personal than a poster in the office group. With a sheet and {{name}}, it takes a few minutes to set up.
Can I send a personalised Diwali card PDF?
Yes. Upload one card or letter as a PDF or image, place the name box, and each employee gets their own copy with their name printed on it.
Is a Hindi wish appropriate at work?
In most Indian companies, yes. If your team is mixed, send the English wish, or make two sheets and send the Hindi version to those who prefer it.
When do I announce Diwali holidays?
Share the holiday dates at least a week or two before Diwali so people can plan travel, then send the Diwali wish itself on the last working day.
