How might Mastek's continued ESOP allotments under Plan VII impact employee retention and talent acquisition strategies in the competitive IT services sector going forward?
Given that a majority of the allotted shares (2,981) were issued at face value with zero premium, what does this suggest about the vintage and structure of Mastek's older ESOP tranches, and could this dilution pattern accelerate in future quarters?
How will the gradual increase in Mastek's paid-up share capital through recurring ESOP exercises affect its earnings per share (EPS) metrics and valuation multiples over the next fiscal year?
