“When I look at the budget, the ask is simple: stability. Get capital gains, ESOPs, and GST right, and you support long-term company building and financial security. Capital gains need clear, predictable rules that reward long-term ownership and patient capital. Frequent changes create uncertainty during fundraises and exits. Consistency gives founders confidence to keep building in India. On ESOPs, tax only when employees see real liquidity, not paper value. This makes ownership meaningful and worth holding over time. Simplifying GST compliance reduces friction for growing companies.”
