Innoviti Technologies Pvt. Ltd., India’s leading payments-centric retail SaaS platform, has announced an additional allocation of ₹25 crore in employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) to 110 employees. This move is part of the company’s preparation for its anticipated initial public offering (IPO) in the next 12 months. With this latest allocation, the total ESOP pool now stands at ₹106 crore.
The allocation is divided equally between two objectives: including all employees who have spent more than a year with the company under the ESOP plan and rewarding select individuals for their outstanding contributions. The rewards range from ₹3 crore to ₹1 lakh, reflecting the company’s commitment to recognizing merit and hard work.
“Innoviti’s spectacular performance of 67% revenue growth and 58% EBITDA loss reduction in the last few quarters would not have been possible without the hard work put in by the exceptionally talented team at Innoviti,” said Rajeev Agrawal, CEO of Innoviti. He added, “The company is planning for operating profitability within the next two quarters and has initiated IPO planning with an aim to list in the next 12 months. I hope this reward will translate into wealth and happiness for Innoviti’s employees. I hope it will help them reinforce their belief that merit, sincerity, and hard work always pay. I hope that it will help them fulfill their dreams, as they help the company fulfill its.”
