25 Apr 2025 CW Team

Cocoblu Retail, a leading e-commerce seller and a wholly owned subsidiary of RattanIndia Enterprises Ltd, has announced a company-wide Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as part of its third anniversary celebrations. In a pioneering move, the company will offer stock ownership to all employees—across all roles and levels—breaking industry norms and reinforcing its people-first culture.

Cocoblu has allocated 5% of its share capital for the ESOP program, with shares to be offered at a significantly subsidized exercise price. This democratized equity initiative enables every employee, from senior leaders to frontline associates, to become shareholders and participate in long-term value creation.

The announcement follows a standout performance in FY 2023–24, during which Cocoblu posted 35% year-on-year growth, surpassing the typical industry benchmark of 15–25%. This growth was driven by the company’s customer-focused strategy, agile execution, and tech-enabled operations.

Anjali Rattan, Chairperson of RattanIndia Enterprises, stated, “With our all-inclusive ESOP program, we’re giving true ownership in the growth we’ve built together. It’s a celebration of our team’s efforts and an invitation to grow with the company they’ve shaped.”

Over the past three years, Cocoblu has rapidly expanded its seller and product ecosystem, enhanced customer experience, and strengthened its tech-driven operations. With this initiative, the company signals a strong commitment to fostering a culture of ownership, inclusion, and sustained growth.
