Understand your ESOPs. Access liquidity.

ESOPs are valuable—but confusing
Vesting Opacity
No clear vesting schedule, grant details, or exercise price. HR sends one email a year—or nothing.
Tax Confusion
Tax at grant, vesting, exercise, and sale. Perquisite tax, capital gains—it's overwhelming.
Liquidity Uncertainty
When can I sell? At what price? Will there be a buyback? You're left guessing.
Value Understanding
What are my ESOPs worth today? FMV, strike price—the jargon makes it hard to know.
