What it is and how we handle it
Design decisions drive value: pool size, vesting and cliff, exercise price, exercise window after leaving, and what happens on an acquisition. We set these to match your hiring plan and investor expectations, then draft the scheme, grant letters and approvals.
Alternatives such as phantom stock or stock appreciation rights give cash-based rewards without issuing shares. For foreign employees, the company also reports the issue in Form ESOP under FEMA within 30 days.
