Zypp Electric, India’s leading tech-enabled EV-as-a-Service platform, recently announced its first Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) buyback, allocating around INR 1.5 Crore to 15 dedicated employees who have been associated more than a year of service within the company. This initiative is a step further toward the company's commitment to empowering its workforce and fostering a culture of shared success. Zypp Electric is the first company in the EV segment to offer ESOP buybacks in India.

In the current liquidation, 20% potential is realized with an intent to nurture many millionaires in the journey. This has led to many more employees have come forward to avail ESOP opportunities, showing their commitment to establishing a long-term association with the company and benefitting from its growth. Zypp Electric has also extended ESOP benefits to Ramsevak, a long-term office boy, a testament to their inclusive approach.

Akash Gupta, Co-founder & CEO, Zypp Electric said, "This is like the realization of a long-term personal dream and an accolade to our ambitious journey. I have always been selling ESOPs within the team, however as expected it had few takers on the concept. This realization of the monetary value of ESOPs amidst employees was to make them feel the power of this amazing wealth-creation tool. We aim to continue such initiatives even in future and it's just the beginning. Making millionaires is a dream I see and it is equally important for me to ensure that my team members achieve prosperity as we foray into building the EV revolution, eventually vesting our employees with financial benefits linked to the company's achievements. We believe every team member plays a crucial role in our success, and this ESOP buyback is a step towards ensuring their well-deserved share in the company's growth. Employees have realized the value of up to INR 50 Lacs individually."

The employees at Zypp Electric appreciated this initiative of rewarding their dedication and loyalty towards the company. They expressed it further strengthened their association with the company, motivating them to contribute to its continued growth and success.

Commenting on the company’s progressive initiative, Vishwajeet Singh, AVP, Marketing & Design, Zypp Electric, said, “I’ve been associated with Zypp Electric from its first day and have experienced growth of the company closer than anyone. It’s great to have liquidity coming in as a reward for diligence and motivation for tenure ahead. I’m sure this will motivate other team members and become an example of how ESOPs can be an opportunity for wealth creation along with value creation.”

Speaking about his association and rewarding experience with the company, Sumit Raina, AGM, Business Development, Zypp Electric, said, “A much-appreciated step by the company to reward the loyalty and hard work of the team members.
