As per Urban Company, beneficiary employees are between 23 and 56 years old, with 28% of beneficiaries being women.

Dharana Capital (an offshoot of existing investor Vy Capital), along with existing investors Vy Capital and Prosus will be purchasing these shares from former and current staff. To date, Urban Company has granted ESOPs to 1,593 employees and around 784 of them participated in five buybacks, liquidating ESOPs worth Rs 306 crore ($37 million).

Entrackr had exclusively reported the development earlier this month. The company also expects its operations in UAE to become profitable in the coming months.
