Asking zomato folks- When Zomato went for IPO, how much hike did the employee earn on their ESOP grant?- Grapevine

Swiggy is planning to go public soon and has offered to exercise our ESOPs at a certain valuation. This is not a buyback, so we will have to pay taxes on the exercised shares. Is it worth exercising now or should I wait for the IPO? I will only gain from this if the IPO price is higher than the exercise price, otherwise I will end up paying more tax. Did Zomato have a similar offer before its IPO? If so, what was the best option for its employees?

What did Zomato employees did?

Haven't heard a lot about it, but I'm sure folks working there since 2017-18 or so would have made close to 3-4 Cr by now? did some mid-senior people retire from that money?

How has the Zomato ESOP success stories been like?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

All Zomato employees including me and 3 more close friends dumped all our shares we got and bought after recent price hike.

Where did you work and how much money did you make?

Asking as it looks like a lot of promise of ESOPs and wealth creation has failed employees in this bloodbath slow growth, layoffs, and job changes.

"ESOPs made me rich af"

I have had ESOPS in 2 companies 
#1 - company got acquired ..I got 45 Lacs IN ESOP ...thats 1.5X of my last annualized salary  ( so additional salary for 18 months) 
#2 - Company became unicorn ... I quit and company bought my ESOPs . Got 2 Cr
That is 3X of my annualized salary

Company 1 - I had joined at very early stage ; Company 2 - I joined at mid-stage

Would you rather sell at a devaluation and access liquidity or hope that next buy back allows you greater rewards?

Swiggy ESOP buy back: anyone has the scoop on this?

Hi GVers,
For those who've seen their company IPO (Zomato, Nykaa, PayTM, Delhivery etc.) during their tenure, by how much did you ESOP value appreciate after the IPO? Also, how long before the IPO had you joined the company?

For those who've seen buybacks and secondary sales in their company
How much did your ESOP value appreciate during such events, if any? How long ago before the event had you joined the company?

PS: I've heard ESOP value for some IPO borne companies appreciate by 2x after the IPO.

Swiggy’s 540 Cr of ESOP buy back ahead of IPO

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am getting offered a 10L Esops for example, does that  simply mean i need to pay some amount  to get shares worth 10L of company at Actual Market Price?

I have got only RSUs until now so now idea how world of esops work and are they actual money?

Like If i’m at 40 CTC fixed and getting offer 48 fixed + 8L esops, am i getting 20% increment or 40% increment?

Explain Me like I’m 5 : What are ESOPs?

Let's assume youre stepping into your 5th grade. Parents tell you that they have 10 chocolates in the fridge and if you complete all the homework, pass exams with distinction and make them proud, they will give 10 chocolates and also extra.  
  
 So you work your ass off and kill your homework and exams. 
  
 If you have good parents, they will give you 2 chocolates per milestone [ESOPs buyback].  
  
 If you have good and rich parents, they will do as promised [company going IPO]. 
  
 Very common scenario - If you have bad parents, they will continue promising the existence of chocolates to motivate you but in reality there are no chocolates [company not doing buyback nor going IPO. ESOPs are just paper money with no value].

I have read somewhere that 90% of the People who receive ESOP are never able to benefit from it?  (Company not doing well hence never able to sell it). Etc

Are ESOP's real?

Hello guys,
I would want to know what is the benefit of getting ESOPs in an early stage startup?
The startup has a great team and working on a promising product. 
I have been offered a package with somewhat lower fixed component and somewhat higher ESOPs. Need insightful pointers here. TIA :)

Value of ESOPs in early stage startups?

The ESOP is a bit of a blind bet.  
  
 It's paper money that can get you a windfall if all goes to plan and execution, solution, pricing, market readiness amongst other things, all line up over the next few years.  
  
 I wouldn't take a pay cut in lieu of ESOPs.  Keep the real money real and the paper money as an outside bet.

Sales Manager

- Swiggy founder, Sriharsha Majety, has been awarded a fresh package of stock options worth over $217 million ahead of the company's IPO. 
- This ESOP package will increase Majety's shareholding by 2-2.3%. 
- Other top executives and employees were also granted stock options, with the total package worth $380 million. 
- The vesting period for these options ranges from 1-8 years. 
- If Swiggy's IPO is valued at $12 billion, Majety's stake could be worth over $720 million.

Zomato hiring freshers for a totally new position called Algorithms Engineer. Just looking at the CTC breakup will give you a shock. 

Not sure about the authenticity of this pic, but if true, it will set whole new benchmark for other companies!
