ESOPS
Hi Folks,
I wanted to understand few things related to ESOPS for unlisted companies.
Let's say, A company(startup) is offering me a package of 20LPA as fixed component and 4L worth of ESOPS(25% vesting) each year.
Consider the date of the above offer date as 1st April 2024 and share value is Rs100/- (1st April 2024) as per the company so ideally 4000 shares
Since 20LPA is fixed component, I'll get the salary after tax calculation - all good here.
On 1st April 2025 , what happens ?
Assumption that share price is constant for one year and has not changed for better understanding.
Ideally I get 1000 shares at discounted price? In general , how much discount is offered.
If I have to buy at a discounted price, is it really beneficial from financial standpoint?
If I'm buying the shares even at a discounted price, why is it a part of CTC since I would be paying it from my pocket?
Requesting folks to help me with the clarification as this will help me in negotiations with future employment

true value of esops is only when there is a buyback or an acquisition.
On buying shares at discounted price
My friend holds a decent amount of esops in zomato. he exercised it at 75 rupee. look at the price now.
If the company has a history if mass layoffs don't have a big amount in esops.

@grapejuice yes but major are shit
