Our earlier platform did not have certain features, and the turnaround time for ESOP grant allocation was slow. The onboarding experience went very well. We suggested a few features and Hissa’s team implemented those changes quickly. All our employees are satisfied with Hissa’s platform.

We chose Hissa because it offered the clarity, transparency, and structure we were looking for in managing ESOPs. The onboarding was smooth. They walked us through every step. They take full ownership and make the entire process feel effortless.

We evaluated several platforms, but Hissa clearly stood out for its intuitive interface, end-to-end ESOP Management capability, and the team’s strong understanding of our requirements. The onboarding was seamless.

ESOP Management
I love that Hissa brings all the data related to the employee’s ESOP grant, such as their vesting schedule, the cliff, and the strike price at which it has been allocated to the employee. It becomes a single source of truth for everything pertaining to the ESOP. I find it simple, with a good UI, and the employees also like it. Plus, setting it up was quite easy.

What to know

ESOP management software FAQs

What is ESOP management software?

ESOP management software runs the full employee stock option lifecycle on one system: creating the pool, issuing grants, vesting, exercise, tax and compliance reporting. Hissa replaces spreadsheets and email approvals with one record that ties to your cap table.

What should ESOP management software for an Indian company handle?

It should handle the Companies Act, 2013 for private companies, the SEBI SBEB Regulations, 2021 for listed companies, and Ind AS 102 expense for both. It should also compute perquisite tax at exercise and keep the cap table in step with every grant. Hissa covers all of these.

How does Hissa handle Ind AS 102?

Hissa calculates Black-Scholes valuations and recognises ESOP expense on the correct schedule under Ind AS 102. It handles modifications, cancellations and accelerated vesting, and exports audit-ready reports in PDF and Excel.

What happens to ESOPs when an employee leaves?

Unvested options usually lapse on the last working day. Vested options can be exercised within the window your plan sets. With an HRMS integration, the exit reaches Hissa automatically, and these rules apply on their own.

Does Hissa handle bonus issues, stock splits and other corporate actions?

Yes. Hissa applies bonus issues, stock splits, consolidations and conversion-ratio changes across every outstanding grant. Option counts and exercise prices stay correct on the cap table and in each employee’s portal.

Can Hissa run more than one ESOP plan?

Yes. Hissa runs several plans on one record, each with its own rules, and tracks trust-route plans alongside direct grants.

Will we lose grant history when we switch?

No. Hissa rebuilds every grant, vesting event, exercise and lapse and checks each against your source documents. You approve a reconciliation report before going live.

Can employees see their ESOP grants and value?

Yes. Employees sign in to the Employee Equity Portal with Google or Microsoft to see their grants, vesting history and next vest date at the latest board-approved valuation. They can also model perquisite tax and capital gains before they exercise.

Can Hissa manage ESOPs across a parent and its subsidiaries?

Yes. Group accounts hold the parent and its subsidiaries in one account, each with its own pool.

Which tools does Hissa integrate with?

Hissa integrates with Darwinbox and greytHR for employee data, Digio for Aadhaar eSign, Easebuzz for exercise and tax payments, and Comp Up for equity compensation benchmarks. Employees sign in with Google or Microsoft.

Is our ESOP data secure on Hissa?

Hissa is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified and complies with GDPR and India’s DPDP Act. Access controls include two-factor authentication, single sign-on, password-protected report exports and PII removal.
