Satish Mugulavalli
Founder @ RuleZero
Bengaluru, India
Satish Mugulavalli is a seed investor at RuleZero in Bengaluru focused on Computer and Hardware. Most people think of Hissa as an ESOP software company. That's fair, it's where we started. But when I look at what we've built over the last few years, it's something much bigger.350 million employee stock options managed on our platform. $3.5 billion in equity grants across 100+ Indian companies. 3,000+ startupemployeeswho've accessed real liquidity (cash in hand) before their company went public. India's first dedicated ESOP secondary fund. $35 million. Built specifically for employee equity transactions. We didn't set out to build all three. We built the platform because founders needed a better way to manage equity. We built the fund because employees kept telling us their options were worthless without liquidity. We built the market access layer because investors kept asking how to get into India's best startups before the IPO queue. Each problem led to the next one.The Indian startup ecosystem has created an enormous amount of employee wealth on paper. The gap we're closing is turning that paper wealth into real wealth.That's what Hissa does.
