Events & Programmes

Anubhav Gupta and his team of Exec-Rem Advisors have delivered an excellent workshop on Long Term Incentives (LTI 2.0 Workshop) on 28th and 29th November 2025 in BKC Mumbai. The workshop had a well blended combination of content on the subject with many exercises for the participants to complete concomitant with the content, to get a full understanding of the subject. Anubhav himself is an authority on ESOPs in India and the coverage of content on this complex subject by him is intense, contemporary and detailed. The programme has depth and breadth while covering the nuances of Finance, Accounting standards, BSM cost to company calculations. The workshop is delivered in discussion mode with the participant involvement being total. The workshop is essentially for C&B executives, HR heads and all those who are interested in upskilling themselves in a complex but very important subject in strategic HR. This is a unique workshop and one of its kind in India

In November, I had the opportunity to attend a two-day workshop, “Long Term Incentives 2.0,” led by Anubhav. The workshop was designed to cover all aspects of long-term incentives, including understanding business objectives, setting a compensation philosophy, designing cash- and equity-based plans, as well as governance and regulatory issues.

What I loved most about the workshop were the several real-life examples that Anubhav shared from his rich experience throughout the two days. In addition, he gave us hands-on experience in designing long-term incentives by working through multiple cases. Anubhav’s inputs, the program content, and the sharing of experiences by the participants together made the workshop a delightful learning experience. I strongly recommend this program to anyone who wishes to master the practice of long-term incentives.

This was one of the rare sessions that struck the perfect balance between practical application and theoretical depth. Complex concepts were broken down with remarkable clarity, making things incredibly easy to understand.

For HR leaders (CHROs) and Rewards Heads, this workshop is truly a must-attend. The concepts and frameworks shared go far beyond policy design—they help you understand how LTIPs can be strategically leveraged to drive broader business goals, enhance long-term value creation and assess their financial impact with more precision. It provides a clear line of sight between reward decisions and organizational outcomes, making it invaluable for anyone shaping talent, rewards and overall business strategy.

The LTI 2.0 workshop was extremely valuable. The discussions were relevant, well-paced, and practical, with clear takeaways that can be applied immediately. The frameworks and examples shared will help leaders design long-term incentive plans aligned with business outcomes and talent priorities. A great forum for learning, reflection, and exchanging perspectives on modern LTI design.

I recently attended an intensive two-day workshop on Long-Term Incentives conducted by Exec-Rem, delivered by Anubhav Gupta ably supported by his team.
What stood out was the depth. The program went well beyond the basics of Long-Term Incentives - equity and cash based instruments. This program unpacked the design, application, and nuances of instruments such as ESOPs, RSUs, SARs with a level of detail that HR and Rewards practitioners rarely get the time to understand and explore in one place.
This was a highly intense 2 day workshop and for me, the sessions on performance-based RSUs (PBRSUs) were particularly valuable — not just from a design lens, but in terms of the measures used for vesting, trade-offs, and practical realities across different contexts. The inclusion of valuation of the grant, taxation, accounting, and other deep technical perspectives added another layer of rigor to what is already a complex subject. What made it powerful was not just what was covered, but how — linking design choices to performance measures, governance, and long-term value creation.
What made the learning stick were the well-designed case studies, table discussions, and real-life examples that allowed participants to test thinking, challenge assumptions, and learn from peers in the room. The conversations were as enriching as the content itself.
Anubhav is outstanding as the subject matter expert in this field — clear, grounded, and deeply experienced, with the ability to translate complexity into practical insight.
For anyone in HR, Total Rewards, or Compensation looking to strengthen their understanding of long-term incentives in a meaningful, applied way, this is a program very worth investing time in. The knowledge gained from this workshop will enable the participants to design long-term incentives that actually drive behaviour and value.

The LTI 2.0 workshop by the Exec-Rem team was a masterclass on Long Term Incentives which covered everything from design methodology to execution concepts . The workshop also covered in detail different LTI instruments along with compliance and statutory aspects related to LTI.

The pedagogy involved practice exercises on the concepts learned, case- based discussions and brainstorming sessions which enabled holistic learning

I would recommend the workshop for all practitioners to learn and understand the role of LTI in executive remuneration and how it can be leveraged to achieve the organization’s objectives
