#LetsTalkESOP | Founders speak

Abhiraj Bhal
Co-founder, Urban Company
"Urban Company has created substantial value for its employees
through ESOPs, conducting three secondary sales in less than six years for existing employees
worth nearly $8mn. We believe a robust, employee-friendly ESOP programme is one of the pivotal
pillars in attracting and retaining talent and building team morale. We now want to extend this
framework to budding entrepreneurs and lend a helping hand in their entrepreneurial journey."

Sanjay Jha
Co-founder & CPO, MyStartupEquity
"Talent is the most important growth driver for a startup.
Therefore,
it’s not only important to attract top talent but also to retain and reward them and we have
seen ESOPs play a very important role here. We are happy to collaborate with Urban Company in
developing this ESOP framework which helps startups in India adopt not only an employee friendly
policy but also addresses the interests from the company’s side as well."
