DRA Homes Sets a New Benchmark in Real Estate Leadership with ₹125 Crore ESOP, Employee Incentives, and the “Pride Wall of Equality”

Chennai, 13th November, 2025: In a first for the Indian real estate industry, DRA Homes has announced an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) worth ₹125 crore, extending ownership across every level of its 325-member workforce, from drivers to department heads and senior leadership. The move reinforces the company’s belief that progress is most meaningful when shared, translating its philosophy of collective wellbeing and accountability into action.

The ESOP covers all employees who have completed at least one year with the company. In its first phase, DRA Homes has already issued stock ownership to over 100 eligible team members, with the remainder to be rolled out in a phased manner. Designed to ensure that everyone contributing to the company’s journey becomes a real stakeholder in its growth, the program is among the most inclusive of its kind in corporate India.

Alongside the ESOP, DRA Homes has also announced performance-based incentives worth ₹6 crore for all employees, with its annual, fully sponsored international retreat — this year to Vietnam — for more than 100 team members beginning November 14. Together, these initiatives underscore the company’s commitment to recognizing dedication and nurturing a culture of gratitude and shared pride.

In celebration of this milestone, the company unveiled the “Pride Wall of Equality” at its Chennai headquarters, a striking installation bearing the names of every department. The wall stands as a visual tribute to inclusivity and recognition, symbolizing DRA’s conviction that its true foundation lies in people rather than property.

Commenting on these historic initiatives, Mr. Ranjeeth Rathod, Managing Director, DRA Homes, said, “Our idea of leadership is rooted in accountability not only for business outcomes, but for the happiness and growth of everyone associated with DRA. The ESOP for every department and every employee reflects that belief. When our people feel genuine ownership, our customers experience deeper trust, and our investors see enduring value. That is the ecosystem we aim to sustain.”

By combining employee ownership, equitable reward systems, and a culture of acknowledgment, DRA Homes is redefining what corporate leadership in real estate can mean. Its approach demonstrates that profitability and empathy can coexist, and that accountability for happiness across employees, customers, and investors can serve as a lasting blueprint for sustainable success.

Founded on the principles of trust, transparency, and timeless value, DRA Homes is among South India’s leading developers, with projects across Chennai, Bengaluru, and other key markets. The company continues to redefine real estate through a customer-first mindset and a people-centric workplace that inspires pride, purpose, and long-term value creation.
