RSU Buddy logoRSUBuddy
You earned your wealth in dollars.

Why should your wealth become rupees when you sell your RSUs?

You work in India. Your salary is in INR. Your expenses are in INR. But your RSUs and ESOPs are USD-denominated wealth.

RSU Buddy helps you understand what happens to your wealth after you sell — and explore ways to keep it globally usable.

The invisible cost

Your RSUs are global.
Your bank account isn’t.

Imagine you have

$250,000

of vested RSUs. You decide to sell. Your shares are sold in USD — but eventually, you may find yourself with ₹2+ crore in an Indian bank account.

A few years later, you need dollars again.

The question most RSU conversations miss

Your RSUs aren’t just compensation.
They’re a global asset.

Most planning ends when you click “Sell.” The more important question is what happens to the money after you sell.

The goal isn’t to speculate on currencies. It’s to avoid unnecessarily converting global wealth into INR if your future needs are global.

For the globally minded

Does this
sound familiar?

You have RSUs or ESOPs from a US-listed company. You live and work in India. You have accumulated meaningful wealth in company stock.

01“Should I sell?”
02“Where should the money go?”
03“What if I need dollars five years from now?”
04“Why convert to INR if I’ll eventually need USD?”
05“Am I paying forex twice?”

If you’ve asked any of these questions, you’re exactly who RSU Buddy is for.
