In January this year, Porter said it would offer its current and former employees liquidation of ESOPs (employee stock ownership plan) worth Rs 50 crore.
All the employees with eligible options are qualified to avail themselves of the programme.

“By enabling an ESOP liquidation for the second consecutive year, we wish to provide a unique opportunity for our current and ex-employees to decide on their investments and cash flows at a much faster rate. This ESOPs scheme is one of the ways to reward our employees and ensure that their contributions are valued substantially,” said Rizwan Khan, VP – Human Resources, Porter.
