BrowserStack Announces Second ESOP Buyback worth $50 million
ESOP buyback to reward employees for their contributions to the growth and success of BrowserStack
DUBLIN — Sept 28, 2021 — BrowserStack, the leading software testing platform, today announced the implementation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) buyback worth $50 million (INR 365 crores). Aimed at rewarding and recognizing employees’ hard work and helping them in their wealth creation journey, this is BrowserStack’s second buyback and its largest to date. The buyback witnessed the participation of over 100 employees.
“The exponential growth witnessed by BrowserStack has been made possible because of the perseverance and dedication of our people,” said Ritesh Arora, co-founder, and CEO of BrowserStack. “We grow when our people grow and we would like to thank them for playing a significant role in the company’s success and believing in our vision of becoming the testing infrastructure for the internet.”
The past two years have been instrumental in serving as an inflection point in BrowserStack’s history. Some key milestones celebrated were the acquisition of Percy, a visual testing, and review platform, securing $200 million in series B funding at a $4 billion valuation, and doubling employee count to over 800.
Keeping employee welfare front and center, BrowserStack recently shifted to a remote-first model, which would give its employees the flexibility to work from anywhere, allowing them greater autonomy over their time personally.
In addition, going remote-first gives BrowserStack unrestricted access to a global talent pool to support its ongoing hyper-growth. BrowserStack is hiring aggressively and building a world-class team to help its mission of empowering developers to build amazing experiences is on top of its list.
