HomeLane has launched an ESOP buyback programme worth INR 27 crore

HomeLane, a home interiors business, has announced an INR 27 crore ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) repurchase scheme, the company's second of its kind. It raised $50 million (INR 371 crore) in a Series E round headed by IIFL AMC's late-stage tech fund, OIJIF II (Oman India Joint Investment Fund), and current investor Stride Ventures last year.

Liquidity was available to both current and past HomeLane employees with vested ESOPs. Former employees were given the option to sell up to 100% of their stock, while current employees were given the option to liquidate up to 35% of theirs.

Less than half of active employees' ESOPs that were eligible for liquidation were liquidated. Many of the company's employees, according to the company, put their profits into homes, automobiles, and retirement savings, as well as donating to causes they care about.

“We are deeply humbled by the response of our team, with a majority of them deciding to stay vested in the company through only partial liquidation of their stock options.

Our team’s conviction and relentless efforts have powered HomeLane’s exponential growth. We facilitated the ESOP buyback to acknowledge their enduring contribution,” said Srikanth Iyer, cofounder of HomeLane. “We will continue to invest in high-quality talent across business, product and technology, design and operations, across the country. Despite the temporary resurgence of COVID-19, we are confident that the need for branded home interiors will continue to grow rapidly,” said Tanuj Choudhry, cofounder of HomeLane.

Indian firms have started an ESOP buyback trend in order to combat attrition and attract talent. Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) are being used by an increasing number of companies as a tool for employee retention and wealth building. Ninjacart, an Indian agritech firm, said last week that it has launched an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) valued more than INR 100 crore.

No Freeway to Success

In FY21, the Indian highway network expanded at a daily rate of 37 km, setting a new record. This high more or less continued in the ensuing years, backed by the Ministry of Roads, Transport and Highways (MoRTH) awarding about 12,000 km of national highway projects annually from FY21 through to FY23. But project awarding slowed down to around 8,600 km in FY24 and is expected to have stayed at that level in FY25, observes Aniket Dani, Director – Research, Crisil Intelligence. Slower awards and slower execution go hand in hand. “The execution pace of national highways is estimated ..
