Indian Startup News on Instagram: “Edtech company Unacademy has launched a Rs 50 crore employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) buyback programme to provide liquidity to employees.

Announcing the development on X, co-founder and Group CEO Gaurav Munjal said the company’s board had approved carving out a cash pool for employees even though the valuation is “significantly lower than our last fundraise”.

According to him, eight employees will earn over Rs 1 crore each through the buyback. Seventeen employees will receive more than Rs 50 lakh, and 38 employees to make over Rs 10 lakh from the exercise.

Notably, the company will reach out to eligible employees in the coming weeks.
