What if we paused the startup cynicism for a moment, and celebrated stories like this? Darwinbox, the AI-powered HR tech platform, just announced an ₹86 crore ESOP buyback for 350 of its employees. Yes, in a time when the headlines are full of startup frauds, layoffs, and misgovernance, this feels like a breath of fresh air. This isn’t just a reward, it is a reminder, that startups can still be built on values, not just valuations. That employees matter. That long-term contribution deserves long-term wealth creation. In the midst of all the noise, Darwinbox quietly built a business that rewards not just its founders and investors, but also the people who showed up every day and built alongside them. It’s not about fancy headlines, it’s about shared success. To every founder building today, this is what true startup culture looks like. More of this please.

Most “founders” are just stressed-out employees with fancy titles. If your income stops when you stop working — you built a job, not a business. Fix it.
