An Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) allows employees to buy company shares at a lower price than the market value, helping them become part owners and stay committed to the company.
Employees can buy shares after a waiting period, called the vesting period. In India, ESOPs must follow the rules set by the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI regulations, which include reporting and approval requirements. Employees also need to pay taxes on the profit they make when buying shares, which is the difference between the buy price and the current market price. Many companies apply this strategy to retain talents and ensure high-performance teams.

An ESOP is a program that allows employees to buy company shares at a discounted price, providing them with ownership and a stake in the company’s success.
The vesting schedule specifies the period an employee must wait before they can exercise their stock options, often spanning several years.
The exercise price is the fixed price at which employees can buy the company’s shares, which is usually set lower than the market price.
Unvested options are typically canceled if an employee leaves, but vested options may be exercisable for a limited time.
ESOPs help attract and retain talent, motivate employees, and align their interests with the company’s success.
