Univest completes its first Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) buyback worth Rs 1.61 crore, allowing early employees to realize returns based on their equity holdings.
The buyback initiative aimed to reward employees who joined during Univest's early stages, focusing on roles across product, technology, marketing, and customer support.
The buyback aligns long-term incentives with Univest's growth trajectory, following the introduction of an ESOP policy in late 2024 and a strategy to retain talent in the fintech sector.
Univest plans to explore future buyback opportunities aligned with upcoming fundraising events, operating from Delhi NCR with a technology-enabled trading and investment platform for retail investors.
