ESOP Design & Advisory

Set up an employee stock option plan that actually works for you and for the team. We'll cover pool sizing, vesting and cliff structures, exercise price, the SAR alternative where options don't fit, Companies Act 2013 requirements (Section 62(1)(b), Rule 12 of the Share Capital Rules), and the tax treatment employees will ask you about. Also useful if you already have a plan and suspect it was drafted badly — most early-stage ESOP policies are copy-paste jobs that create problems at exit.
