We’re Vestd India, and we believe that when a company wins, everyone who helped make it happen should win too!
That idea took root in the UK, but it was never meant to grow in just one place - so we’re excited to see it thrive in India through our partnership with Trica Equity.
Picture a team where every coder, designer, and customer-success hero owns a real slice of the business.
That sense of “this is ours” sparks loyalty, turbo-charges motivation, and keeps amazing people around for the long haul.
We’ve set ourselves a big, hairy goal: put meaningful equity into the hands of one billion employees.
As a proud B Corp, we’re wired to do business in a way that’s good for people and planet, not just profit, and shared ownership is our favourite way to spread the wealth.
Employee equity here isn’t a theory anymore; it’s happening:
₹12,000 crore (about $1.5 billion) in ESOP cash-outs since 2020.
Flipkart alone paid out roughly $700 million to its people. $700 million!
Trica has already helped 7,500 investors and 44,000 employees back 750 fast-growing companies.
Founders and investors now see stock options as a must-have, not a nice-to-have - and that momentum is only growing.
Think of it like this:

Nothing you love about Trica is going away. The same team is staying put; we’re just adding new tech and a fresh set of shoulders to carry the load.
Ownership for all – junior intern to senior exec.
Clear, jargon-free dashboards that show each employee exactly what their shares mean.
Compliance by design – we make it easier to stay on the right side of the rules.
Human help, on the ground – real people you can speak to, not just chatbots.
Values you can trust – our B Corp badge keeps us honest and impact-focused.
India’s startup scene is on a tear - 62 IPOs raised $2.8 billion in Q1 2025 alone. As more founders bake equity into their culture, a new norm will emerge: if you work hard to build a company, you deserve to own part of it.
That’s the future we’re here to back. And with Trica by our side, we’re just getting started.
Let’s talk - because ownership shouldn’t have borders, and success tastes better when it’s shared.
