No monie, no honie :)  
 There are people who if possible would want to sell all of their esops at current valuation or even half of the valuation just to get some money out from udaan.

Udaan raises $340Mn! How did they manage this? Anybody knows the exact specifics?

The picture isn't as rosy as this headline makes it seem. Basis what I hear, 50-60% drop in valuation. Their last valuation was ~$3Bn so now more like in the $1-1.5Bn range.

Does B2B E-commerce have a future in India? No one has been able to crack the business model yet and many big names have scaled back. 
Does anyone know a profitable company in this segment?

How risky it is to join a startup in this space?

Heard on Twitter that social media app ShareChat is going BUST.

- At ~$42m revenue, it's valued at 120x rev
- ~95m DAU in rural India
- Founders cashed out $10m in secondaries. 

Is this true?

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].

While 340 million funding seems big, it is nothing in terms of Udaan's annual losses and can give them a runway for year and a half. 

Guys any tips for people working in Udaan

Is udaan raising new funds and if yes, what is the new valuation ?
