Besides that, employees have an option to cash out 30% of vested stocks issued prior as well.  

Commenting on the announcement, Vikram Chopra, CEO and Co-Founder, Cars24 said, “2020 has been a difficult year for everybody with a lot of employees stepping in and contributing across the company. The ESOPs will help our employees enjoy the bonus and extra liquidity during the festive season after facing a tough time during the pandemic. At CARS24, empowering our employees has always been at the core of our values and this is our way of reciprocating the trust and loyalty that our people have reposed in the company.”

Cars24 has offered ESOP cash-out options in the past as well. Since inception, this is the third time the company is doing liquidation event of employee stocks.
