A young tech company from Australia has just been acquired for a whopping multi-billion dollar deal and to celebrate, they surprised their employees with incredible bonuses of $65,000 each. Airtrunk, a data centre business based in Sydney, has expanded to Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and has now signed a $24 billion deal with Blackstone. This has resulted in the generous cash splash of over $22 million, which has been distributed among more than 330 Airtrunk employees just in time for Christmas.
According to reports, the employees were informed about this exciting news yesterday and were thrilled with the unexpected bonus. The acquisition by Blackstone has also elevated founder and CEO Robin Khuda to one of Australia's richest individuals, with a cash payout of over $1 billion. Khuda expressed his satisfaction on LinkedIn, stating that it was a pleasure to share the company's financial success with their hardworking employees.
In an official statement, Airtrunk announced that they were proud to recognize the contributions of their employees towards the company's success so far. They acknowledged that this was the result of years of dedication and sacrifice from their team. The $65,000 bonus is just one of the many ways in which Airtrunk rewards their employees and empowers them to achieve greater heights.
This is not the first time Airtrunk has made headlines for their employee benefits. In October, they flew all their workers to Bali for an all-staff conference, which garnered attention from the media. The company has also been recognized as one of the top 10 best places to work in Australia by Great Place to Work. This is due to their unique perks such as "recharge days" and the freedom to choose how, when, and where employees work best.
Established in 2015, Airtrunk has come a long way in just a few years. With its headquarters in north Sydney, the company now operates 11 data centres across Sydney, Melbourne, and the Asia Pacific region. Their rapid growth and success can be attributed to their talented and dedicated team, who have now been rewarded for their hard work and commitment. This acquisition by Blackstone marks a new chapter for Airtrunk and their employees, who can look forward to even more exciting opportunities and rewards in the future.
