If you plan to sit for the CFA exams and are interested in applying for the scholarship.

Then this thread 🧵 is for you.

PS: I just gave my friend some help, and as a result, he received the CFA Scholarship. 😉

The first inquiry is,
"What is the advantage of this scholarship?

The CFA Exam's registration and enrollment fees are ₹1,25,000.

If you are awarded the scholarship, this amount will be decreased to only ₹25,000.

You could save ₹1 lakhs! (approx.)

But, CFA needs us to submit a brief essay (of 250 words) describing how this scholarship will help you and your CFA aspirations.

I can be of help to you here.

The structure I used to create the essay is shown below:

Understanding ESOPs #4

Taxation of ESOPS explained in way that even a 5-years old can understand!

#startups #incometax 🧵

ESOPs are like a special way of getting paid. But when you get paid, you also have to pay taxes.

There are 2 times when you have to pay taxes for ESOPs:
1. When you decide to turn them into shares, and
2. When you sell those shares.

Let's say you have 1000 shares that you can turn into shares by paying Rs. 10 for each share. But each share is worth Rs. 100 in the market.

So, the difference between the two prices is Rs. 90 per share, which is taxed.

Understanding ESOPs #3

Hi! Today I want to talk about how to decide the size of your ESOP pool.

#startups 🧵

How much of your startup should you allocate for ESOPs?

This is a tricky question and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on many factors such as your stage, valuation, funding, growth potential, hiring plans, etc.

However, one way to think about it is to make it a function of your employees’ cash compensation.

In other words, how much salary are you willing to trade for ESOPs? For example, if you pay an employee Rs. 10L per annum in cash, you can offer them ESOPs worth Rs. 10L as well.
