MPL announces unique employee investment plan raises $500,000

Mobile Premier League (MPL), esports and mobile gaming platform has announced that it has raised $500,000 from its existing employees as part of its unique Employee Investment Plan.

MPL’s efforts to ensure that talent in the company is rewarded is not new. In September 2020, the company had announced an ESOP buyback plan worth $3.2 million during its Series C funding round, which saw it raise $90 million from SIG, RTP Global, MDI, Sequoia India, and others.

This unique Employee Investment Plan, which was announced in December 2020, was open to all employees of MPL. They could invest anywhere between $2,300 and $23,000 in the company and acquire stock. Over 10 percent of MPL employees participated in this plan, with the total amount raised at $500,000.

“This initiative was introduced so that our most valuable asset, our employees, get an opportunity to own part of MPL and participate in the company’s success. We are privileged to work with people who have invested in the company’s future. This underlines the trust they have in MPL, and MPL’s faith in its people,” said  MPL SVP, Corporate Development and Investor Relations Joe Wadakethalakal.

The company further said that it would continue to extend such opportunities to its employees in the future.
