Modern stock option management for listed companies

Manage grants, exercises, trust operations, employee payments, share allotments, and compliance through one connected platform.

The reality

Stock option management in listed company is operationally complex.

Issuing grants is only one part of the process. Once employees begin exercising, every request triggers approvals, payments, documentation, and compliance workflows that need to stay perfectly coordinated.

Managing ESOPs means juggling different tools.

Grants, e-signatures, exercises, and payments each live in a different system, with nothing connecting them.

Payments turn into a manual reconciliation job.

Multiple payment modes and partial payments mean finance spends hours matching transactions by hand.

One compliance error, and your share allocation is stuck.

Redundant data entry for registrars leaves room for mistakes that hold up the final step, no matter how clean everything was before it.

Frequently asked questions.

Why do we need an equity management software?

Equity management is about maintaining a transparent, organized, and fair system of ownership within a business. It allows companies to transparently help employees visualize their stake in the company and build value for their contribution.

EquityList is designed for both listed and unlisted companies. Currently, our suite is available for companies in India, Singapore, and the United States, with a special focus on companies with dual-entity and cross-border structures.

We can help companies organize liquidity programs on a case-by-case basis depending on the stage and growth of the business.

Our team of inhouse experts work with you in preparing your stock options policy! We understand your requirements and offer best practices and platform benchmarks.

EquityList dashboard has built-in exercise and buyback flow for your stock option plans. Employees can directly participate in buyback programs or raise exercise requests from their employee dashboards.

Setting up an ESOP pool involves the following steps:
- Get board approval for setting up the employee stock pool
- Formulate an ESOP policy document that will govern all the employee stock grants.
You can also seek our advisory services to help you set up a suitable ESOP/SAR scheme for your company.
- Set up an account on EquityList to immediately start issuing ESOP grants to your employees and seamlessly manage them.
