In the article titled “RSU vs ESOP: Which is better for you as an employee? Pros and cons explained”, Vipin emphasized the importance of prudent financial decision-making when dealing with equity-linked compensation. He noted that RSUs inherently link an individual’s income and wealth to the same employer, making it essential for employees to consider selling a portion to reduce concentration risk and improve liquidity.

He further cautioned against overexposure, observing that employees often continue accumulating company stock during periods of strong performance without adequately assessing the associated risks. According to him, such behavior can lead to significant financial vulnerability if market conditions change.
