Paytm parent company, One97 Communications Limited, has announced the allocation of over 4 lakh equity shares to its employees under the Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP).
This move is part of Paytm’s ongoing commitment to incentivize and retain its top talent, especially in a competitive market environment.
ESOP Allocation Details and Impact
The company has issued 4,05,190 equity shares of face value INR 1 each to eligible employees upon the exercise of vested options under the ESOP 2019.
This recent allotment has increased Paytm’s issued and paid-up equity share capital from INR 63,67,32,639 crore to INR 63,71,37,829 crore.

ESOPs are a crucial part of Paytm’s strategy to motivate and retain its workforce. By offering equity shares, the company aims to align the interests of its employees with its long-term growth objectives.
The recent appreciation of Paytm’s stock price by 4.5% has added value to these shares.

The company’s leadership believes that this initiative will help in retaining top talent and driving the company’s growth.
