Mumbai: Amazon-backed general insurance startup Acko has concluded its first ESOP liquidity programme worth $2 million for around 40 of its long-term team members, co-founder Ruchi Deepak told ET Monday.
Under the programme, employees who have completed three years at the organisation were given the option to liquidate 40%-100% of their vested employee stock ownership plan. The exercise valued the Bengaluru-based insurer at around $500 million, or at a premium over its last round of funding, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
