Innoviti Payment Solutions, one of India’s largest providers of payment solutions to offline enterprise merchants has announced a special ESOP buyback worth US $5 million. The payout is scheduled on Diwali day, making the festival of lights sweeter & brighter for its team.

Innoviti’s ESOP is open to all full-time Innoviti employees, irrespective of their grade, with options being awarded based on performance and loyalty. More than 30% of all full-time employees, from senior leaders to system architects, marketers to field officers and call center executives are eligible for ESOP buyback. ESOPs provide an opportunity to these employees to create significant wealth that would not be possible through lifetime savings from salaries.

Under the current ESOP buyback scheme all eligible employees will be entitled to sell up to 40% of their vested options. Employees will get to earn up to 30X of the exercise price of the options, creating significant wealth.

“Innoviti’s spectacular growth into a leader in India’s enterprise offline payments segment is the result of the tremendous hard work that our team has put in. Nothing can substitute the long hours they put in to find new ways to make things happen. This ESOP buyback scheme is a small token to make their Diwali a little brighter and sweeter.

I hope it will help some of them buy their first house, their first scooter, car, or a new smartphone. I hope it will help them reinforce their confidence in themselves, that sincerity and hard work always pays. I hope that it will help them fulfill their dreams, as they help the company fulfills its,” said Rajeev Agrawal, CEO, Innoviti.
