Asheesh, what the works manager has suggested is essentially redlining the engine - taking it close to 5k+ RPM, which is not done in normal course of use. This will result in a very high rate of flow of fuel through the engine (cleaning?), as well as will exercise it so that it kind of 'loosens up' its moving parts, thereby performing better after this exercise.
While doing it only once in a while it is not very scientific and i would not recommend it. As I am not all that an expert (in fact i'm not an expert at all ) lets also hear from the Gyani Jan about this too, before concluding on the issue.
In normal course of operation, though, you should change gears whenever you reach peak torque. I checked up at marutizen.com, but it only has estilo specs at the site. There the peak torque is @3500 RPM. Check your owners manual, it may be different for your buddhi zen. So change gears to the higher ones at or just before 3500 RPM for best acceleration and good FE while accelerating. Of course, while cruising, use 1.5 to 2x of your idling RPM in whatever gear is required for your target speed.
