Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls
and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls
and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the effectiveness
of Roadzen’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e under the Exchange Act). Based on such
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Roadzen’ disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial
reporting
As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Roadzen’ internal control over financial
reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Roadzen’ internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
68
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts
and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management
and directors, and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
Our management conducted an assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).” Based on this assessment, our
management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2025.
Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm
This Annual Report does not include an attestation
report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to an exemption established by the JOBS Act for “emerging growth
companies.”
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended March 31, 2025 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Composition of the Roadzen Board of Directors
When considering whether directors and director
nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Roadzen board to satisfy its oversight
responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, the Roadzen board expects to focus primarily on each person’s
background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth
above in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business.
The Roadzen board consists of seven (7) members.
Each director will be nominated for a one (1) year term to be elected at the subsequent annual meeting of the shareholders. At each succeeding
annual meeting of the shareholders of Roadzen, each of the successors elected to replace the directors whose term expires at that annual
meeting shall be elected for a one-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject
to their earlier death, resignation or removal.
72
Board of Directors Meetings
During the year ended March 31, 2025, our board
met 5 times, including videoconference meetings, the audit committee met 8 times, the compensation committee met 3 times
and the nominating and corporate governance committee met 4 times. All directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate
number of meetings of the board, all of the audit committee members attended 75% or more of the audit committee
meetings, all of the compensation committee members attended 75% or more of the compensation committee meeting, and
all of the nominating and corporate governance committee members attended 75% or more of the nominating and corporate governance committee
meetings.
Director Independence
Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority
of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who has no material
relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship
with the company). Roadzen’s board of directors has seven (7) directors. Roadzen has determined that each of Mr. Adhikari, Mr.
Shah, Ms. VedBrat, Ms. Ashcroft and Ms. Glossman is an “independent director” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards
and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Officer and Director Compensation
Overview
The policies of Roadzen with respect to the compensation
of its executive officers are administered by Roadzen’s board in consultation with its compensation committee. The compensation
decisions regarding Roadzen’s executives are based on Roadzen’s need to retain those individuals who continue to perform
at or above Roadzen’s expectations and to attract individuals with the skills necessary for Roadzen to achieve its business plan.
Roadzen intends to be competitive with other similarly situated companies in its industry.
Roadzen believes that performance-based and equity-based
compensation can be an important component of the total executive compensation package for maximizing shareholder value while, at the
same time, attracting, motivating and retaining high-quality executives.
Roadzen’s executive officers receive a combination
of cash and equity compensation. Roadzen’s compensation committee is charged with performing an annual review of Roadzen’s
executive officers’ cash and equity compensation to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation to executive
officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies. In addition
to the guidance provided by its nomination and compensation committees, Roadzen may utilize the services of third parties from time to
time in connection with the hiring and compensation awarded to executive employees. This could include subscriptions to executive compensation
surveys and other databases or use of a third-party compensation consultant.
Roadzen’s non-employee directors are currently
entitled to receive $200,000 in annual compensation for services rendered to Roadzen. The Chairman and the Audit Chair are entitled to
receive an extra $50,000 in annual compensation. The non-employee directors have elected to receive their compensation for fiscal year
2025 only in equity, however, no cash compensation or equity awards have been paid or issued as of this filing.
Roadzen 2023 Incentive Plan
Roadzen adopted the Roadzen 2023 Omnibus Incentive
Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), to be administered by the Roadzen board or by a committee or administrator appointed by the
board. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to give employees of Roadzen (including executive and non-executive directors and officers
as well as consultants) an opportunity to become shareholders of Roadzen, and thereby to participate in its future long-term success
and prosperity. The Incentive Plan includes the following terms and provisions:
● The total number of shares to be issued under the Incentive Plan
(in addition to awards assumed pursuant to the Business Combination) shall initially not
exceed ten percent of total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (subject to annual increases
pursuant to an evergreen provision as provided in the Incentive Plan).
● Roadzen’s compensation committee shall review the Incentive
Plan and shall make recommendations regarding the terms and conditions (including vesting)
of each award, which may be based on (but is not limited to) the employment period or performance
conditions or any combination thereof as determined by Roadzen’s compensation committee.
73
● Roadzen may set customary lock-up provision for the shares issued
under the Incentive Plan as well as customary limitations imposed by its Insider Trading
Policy.
● Forfeited shares, which are subject to awards, shall again be
available for future grants under the Incentive Plan.
● Awards granted under the Incentive Plan may be subject to participants
entering into customary non-compete and non-solicit agreements with Roadzen if determined
by Roadzen’s compensation committee and on the terms set by it.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Roadzen’s board of directors has three standing
committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Subject to phase-in rules
and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A under the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company
be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq require that the
compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. The charter of each committee is available on
Roadzen’s website.
Audit Committee
Ms. Glossman, Ms. VedBrat and Mr. Adhikari serve
as members of our audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three
(3) members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to the exception described below. Ms. Glossman, Ms. VedBrat
and Mr. Adhikari are all independent.
Ms. Glossman serves as chair of the audit committee.
Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq listing standards and our board of directors has
determined that Ms. Glossman is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
The purpose of the audit committee is, amongst
other things, to prepare the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in our proxy statement and to assist our board
of directors in overseeing and monitoring (i) the quality and integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements, (iii) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, (iv) the performance
of our internal audit function, and (v) the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm.
Our board of directors has adopted a written charter
for the audit committee, which is available on our website.

our compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two (2) members
of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Mr. Adhikari and Mr. Shah are both independent. Mr. Adhikari serves as

and compensation of our executive officers and directors, (ii) monitoring our incentive and equity-based compensation plans, and (iii)
preparing the compensation committee report required to be included in our proxy statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Our board of directors has adopted a written charter
for the compensation committee, which is available on our website. The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in
its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible
for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. The compensation committee will consider the independence
of each adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant,
external legal counsel or any other adviser.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Ms. Ashcroft and Mr. Shah serve as members of
our nominating and corporate governance committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have
at least two (2) members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, all of whom must be independent. Ms. Ashcroft and Mr.
Shah are both independent. Ms. Ashcroft serves as chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate
governance committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating
and corporate governance committee considers persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others.
74
Our board of directors has adopted a written charter
for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on our website. The guidelines for selecting nominees generally
include that persons to be nominated:
● should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in
business, education or public service;
● should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience
to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills,
diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and
● should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism
and intense dedication to serving the interests of the stockholders.
The nominating and corporate governance committee
will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism
in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee
may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time
to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The
nominating and corporate governance committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.
We have not formally established any specific,
minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating
nominees for director, the Roadzen board considers the factors set forth above.
The nominating and corporate governance committee
will review annually the relationships between directors, the Company and members of management and recommend to the Board whether each
director qualifies as “independent” under the Board’s definition of “independence” and the applicable rules
of Nasdaq and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Code of Business Conduct
We adopted a new code of business conduct (the
“code of business conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, which is available on our website. Our code of business conduct is a “code
of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. Copies of the code of business conduct and charters for each of our committees

of independent directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, board member access to management and independent advisors, director
communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of senior management
and management succession planning. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines is posted on our website.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Introduction
As an emerging growth company, Roadzen has opted
to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to “smaller reporting companies,” as such term is defined
in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act. This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program
for Roadzen’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (“Fiscal Year 2025”),
including its Chief Executive Officer Rohan Malhotra, Chief Financial Officer Jean-Noël Gallardo and Chief Operating Officer Ankur
Kamboj. Messrs. Malhotra and Gallardo are the only Roadzen NEOs serving in Fiscal Year 2025 with compensation in excess of $100,000.
This discussion may contain forward-looking statements
that are based on current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation
programs that Roadzen adopts could vary significantly from historical practices and currently planned programs summarized in this discussion.
Roadzen Executive Compensation Program

Clawback Policy
We have adopted a compensation recovery policy
(the Company’s Clawback Policy), which was effective November 30, 2023, that is compliant with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, as required
by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards
Our policies and practices regarding the granting
of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive
compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the timing and terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible
employees.
The timing of equity award
grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance
targets, market conditions and internal milestones. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards;
instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness
of our compensation packages.
In determining the timing
and terms of an equity award, the Board or the Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such
grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s procedures to prevent
the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight by legal counsel
and, where appropriate, delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.
The Company is committed
to maintaining transparency in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by
the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The
Company regularly reviews its policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards of corporate
governance and continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
and Related Stockholder Matters.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation
Plans
In connection with our Business Combination, our
Board and shareholders adopted the Incentive Plan as well as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
Awards under the Incentive Plan are available
for employees, directors and consultants. The general purpose of the Incentive Plan is to motivate the performance in the achievement
of the Company’s business objectives and align the interests of recipients with the long- term interests of the Company’s
shareholders. To accomplish such purposes, the Incentive Plan provides that the Company may grant (i) options, (ii) stock appreciation
rights, (iii) restricted shares, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) performance-based awards (including performance-based restricted shares
and restricted stock units), (vi) other share-based awards, (vii) other cash-based awards or (viii) any combination of the foregoing.
79
The general purpose of the ESPP is to allow employees
an opportunity to participate in the ownership of the Company through deductions from their pay to be utilized to purchase ordinary shares
of the Company at prices that could be at a discount to the market.
The following table summarizes the number of Ordinary
Shares authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans as of March 31, 2025.

of our ordinary shares as of June 20, 2025 by:
● each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the

Lock-Up Agreements by an additional year, from September 20, 2024 to September 20, 2025 (or such earlier date that the closing price
of Roadzen’s Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 (as adjusted for share recapitalizations, subdivisions, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like), for 20 trading days within 30 trading day period. Avacara is controlled by Rohan Malhotra, Roadzen’s
Chief Executive Officer and a member of Roadzen’s board of directors. Roadzen has been advised by a number of its other shareholders
who are party to Lock-Up Agreements that they agree to the terms of the Lock-Up Amendments, and Roadzen expects to enter into letter
agreements that are substantially similar to the Lock-Up Amendments with these other shareholders.
On March 28, 2024, Roadzen entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Supurna VedBrat and Krishnan-Shah Family Partners, LP (together, the “Purchasers”),
pursuant to which Roadzen agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase from Roadzen, an aggregate
of up to $2 million in principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”). Ms. VedBrat is a director of Roadzen. Ajay
Shah, another director of Roadzen, and his wife, are trustees of the general partner of the Krishnan-Shah Family Partners, LP.
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, Roadzen agreed
to issue to each Purchaser, warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase, for each $10,000 in original principal amount of Notes
purchased, 1,000 of Roadzen’s ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”). Accordingly, on April 22, 2024, Roadzen issued Warrants
to purchase 50,000 Ordinary Shares to Krishnan-Shah Family Partners, LP, and Roadzen expects to issue Warrants to purchase such number
of Ordinary Shares to Ms. VedBrat in the near future. Each Warrant will be exercisable at any time during the period commencing on March
28, 2025 (or earlier under certain circumstances described in the Warrants) (as applicable, the “Vesting Date”) through March
28, 2031 (or until the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Roadzen, if earlier). The exercise price of the Warrants is equal to
80% of the lower of (i) the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Ordinary Shares, as reported on the relevant
market or exchange, over the 60 trading days subsequent to the first loan funding, (ii) the opening price of any public offering of straight
equity securities of Roadzen occurring within six months after the issue date of the Warrants and (iii) the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares
over the 60 trading days immediately prior to the Vesting Date. The Warrants have customary anti-dilution protections in the event Roadzen
declares dividends or distributions on the Ordinary Shares or subdivides, combines or reclassifies its outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Policies for Approval of Related Party Transactions
Our board of directors reviews and approves transactions
with directors, officers, and holders of five percent or more of our voting securities and their affiliates, each a related party. Prior
to our initial public offering, the material facts as to the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction were disclosed
to our board of directors, and such transactions required the approval of a majority of the directors who were not interested in the
transaction. Further, when our stockholders were entitled to vote on a transaction with a related party, the material facts of the related
party’s relationship or interest in the transaction were disclosed to the stockholders, who approved the transaction.
Roadzen adopted a
written related party transactions policy that provides that such transactions must be approved by our audit committee. Pursuant to
this policy, the audit committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related party
transactions,” which are transactions or a series of transactions in which (i) the Company was or is to be a participant, (ii)
the amount of which exceeds the lesser of (x) $120,000 in the aggregate or (y) one percent of the average of the Company’s
total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and (iii) the related party had or will have a direct or indirect
material interest. A related party transaction also includes any material amendment or modification to an existing related party
transaction regardless of whether such transaction has previously been approved in accordance with our policy. For purposes of this
policy, a related person is defined as (a) any person serving as a director, director nominee or executive officer of the Company or
any person who has served in any of such roles since the beginning of the most recent fiscal year, even if he or she does not
currently serve in that role, (b) a greater than 5% beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, (c) any immediate family member of any
of the foregoing persons if the foregoing person is a natural person, or (d) any other person who may be a “related
person” pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures
Roadzen’s audit committee
was formed in connection with the effectiveness of our registration statement for its initial public offering. As a result, the
audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our
audit committee were approved by the Company’s board of directors. Since the formation of its audit committee, and on a going-forward basis,
the audit committee has and will pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for it by
its auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services
described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To
the shareholders and the board of directors of Roadzen Inc.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Roadzen Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the “Company”)
as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, consolidated
statement of shareholders’ equity/deficit and consolidated statement of cash flow for each of the two years ended
March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more
fully described in Note 2(b) of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise
additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions among others, raised substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans on alleviation of doubt on going concern are also described in Note
2(b). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting and Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company
in accordance with the U.S federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatements whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Roadzen
Inc.
Notes
to the consolidated financial statements
(in
US $, except share count)
1. Reorganization and description of business
Roadzen
Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Parent Company”, formerly known as Vahanna Tech Edge Acquisition I
Corp; and sometimes referred to in this filing as “Vahanna”) has subsidiaries located in India, the United States and the
United Kingdom. The Company is a leading Insurtech platform and provides solutions in relation to insurance products, including distribution,
pre-inspection assistance, telematics, claims submission and administration, and roadside assistance. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Roadzen Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Roadzen” or the “Company”).
Merger
agreement
On
September 20, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Vahanna, Roadzen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Roadzen (DE)”), and
Vahanna Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Vahanna (“Merger Sub”), consummated
the Business Combination (as defined below) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 10, 2023, by and among Vahanna,
Roadzen (DE) and Merger Sub, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 29, 2023 (as so amended,
the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Roadzen (DE), with
Roadzen (DE) surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Vahanna (the “Merger,” and together with the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the other agreements contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”).
In
connection with the Closing (as defined below), and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, equity interests in Vahanna and Roadzen
(DE) were converted into ordinary shares of Parent Company, $ 0.0001 par value (“Ordinary Shares”) as follows: (i) each outstanding
share of common stock of Roadzen (DE) including shares of common stock issued upon conversion of each outstanding share of Roadzen (DE)’s
convertible preferred stock, was cancelled and converted into 27.21 Ordinary Shares, (ii) each restricted stock unit of Roadzen (DE)
(“Roadzen (DE) RSU”) was assumed and converted into the right to receive 27.21 restricted stock units of the Parent Company
(each, a “RDZN RSU”) and were assumed as Substitute Awards under the Roadzen Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (iii) each
equity security of Roadzen (DE) other than Roadzen (DE) common stock and Roadzen (DE) RSUs (each, a “Roadzen (DE) Additional Security”)
was assumed and converted into the right to receive equity interests that may vest, settle, convert or be exercised into 27.21 Ordinary
Shares, (iv) each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing was cancelled, retired
and ceased to exist, and (v) each ordinary share of Vahanna (each, a “Vahanna Ordinary Share”) issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Closing and not redeemed in connection with the Redemption (as defined below) remained outstanding and is now one Ordinary
Share.
Further,
in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Vahanna changed its name to “Roadzen
Inc.”. Beginning on September 21, 2023, the Company’s Ordinary Shares and warrants trade on the Nasdaq Global Market and
Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “RDZN” and “RDZNW” respectively.
The
Company determined that Roadzen (DE) was the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined
in Accounting Standards Codification 805. The determination was primarily based on the following facts:
-
Roadzen (DE) stockholders having a controlling voting interest in the Company;
-Roadzen
(DE) existing management team serving as the initial management team of the Company and holding a majority of the initial board of directors
of the Company;
-Roadzen
(DE) management continuing to hold executive management roles for the post-combination company and being responsible for the day-to-day
operations; and
-
Roadzen (DE) operations comprising the ongoing operations of the Company.
Accordingly,
for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Roadzen (DE) issuing stock for the net assets of Vahanna,
accompanied by a recapitalization. The primary assets acquired from Vahanna related to cash amounts and a forward purchase agreement
(“FPA”) that was assumed at fair value upon closing of the Business Combination. No goodwill or other intangible assets were
recorded as a result of the Business Combination.
While
Vahanna was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Roadzen (DE) was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial
statements of Roadzen (DE) became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation
of the Business Combination. As a result, the financial statements reflect (i) the historical operating results of Roadzen (DE) prior
to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of Vahanna and Roadzen (DE) following the closing of the Business Combination;
(iii) the assets and liabilities of Roadzen (DE) at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods
presented.
F- 8
Roadzen
Inc.
Notes
to the consolidated financial statements
(in
US $, except share count)
In
accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been retroactively restated in all comparative periods
up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of Ordinary Shares issued to Roadzen (DE) common stockholders, Roadzen (DE) convertible
preferred stockholders and holders of Vahanna ordinary shares not redeemed in connection with the Redemption. As such, the shares and
corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Roadzen (DE) convertible preferred stock, the common stock of Roadzen
(DE) and Vahanna Ordinary Shares not redeemed in connection with the Redemption prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively
restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
a) Basis of presentation and consolidation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management considers necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial
statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. When the Company
does not have a controlling interest in an investee but exerts significant influence over the investee, the Company applies the equity
method of accounting.
b) Liquidity and going concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue
to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business.
As
of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses, negative operating cash flows, and a negative
working capital position. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
However, management believes that this doubt can be alleviated based on a clear and executable mitigation strategy currently
underway.
To
support this conclusion, the Company has implemented a comprehensive plan centered around capital raising, liability restructuring,
and operational cost optimization. In FY25, the Company eliminated approximately $ 12.6 million
in short-term liabilities through a combination of equity issuance and cash settlements. This included converting $ 3.4 million
of liabilities into equity and settling $ 8.8 million
of vendor payables for just $ 1.65 million
in cash.
Further,
Roadzen is actively pursuing both equity and debt capital to strengthen its balance sheet. The Company is currently raising funds through
a PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) transaction with original investors, which includes both fresh capital and the
conversion of existing Vahanna debt into equity.
The Company is also exploring new long-term credit facilities
to refinance short-term obligations and create a more sustainable capital structure. Management remains engaged in active discussions
to finalize additional equity and debt transactions over the coming months.
Based on the progress made to date—demonstrated by completed transactions, advanced negotiations, and investor
commitments—management believes it has formulated and is executing a viable plan to obtain sufficient liquidity to meet obligations
as they fall due over the next 12 months. As a result, management expects to alleviate the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets or the classification
of liabilities that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
c) Use of estimates
The
preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are based on historical
experience, where applicable, and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis,
the Company evaluates its estimates and underlying assumptions, including those related to the allowance for accounts receivables, fair
values of financial instruments, measurement of defined benefit obligations, impairment of non-financial assets, useful lives of property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets, income taxes, certain deferred tax assets and tax liabilities, and other contingent liabilities.
Although these estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates, management believes
that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable.
F- 9
Roadzen
Inc.
Notes
to the consolidated financial statements
(in
US $, except share count)
Estimates
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which
the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
d) Reclassifications
During
the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company has reclassified certain expenses related to its India brokerage operations to better
align with their true nature and industry practice. These expenses, initially categorized under Cost of Services, have been reclassified
to Sales & Marketing expenses during the current quarter. This reclassification is based on the recognition that these costs are
primarily associated with marketing and sales efforts, including advertising, promotions, and customer acquisition, which more accurately
reflect the Company’s efforts to drive revenue.
To
maintain consistency and comparability, the Company has also adjusted the comparative financial statements of prior periods to conform
to the current period presentation. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified $ 1,029,330 from Cost of Services to Sales & Marketing
for the year ended March 31, 2025 and $ 192,285 in the year ended March 31, 2024.
This
reclassification impacts the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, where these expenses are now reported under Sales
& Marketing instead of Cost of Services. This reclassification does not affect the Company’s net income or loss, nor does it
alter the figures presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, or Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Deficit. The change ensures that the financial statements
provide a clearer and more accurate view of the Company’s cost structure.
e) Revenue
Revenues
consist primarily of revenue from:
- insurance
policy distribution in the form of commissions, brokerage, underwriting and other fees; and
- insurance
support services comprised of pre-inspection and risk assessment, roadside assistance, extended
warranty, and claim processing using the Company’s IaaS platform.
The
Company recognizes revenue at the time of transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenues cannot be recognized until the performance
obligation(s) are satisfied and control is transferred to the customer.
Income
from distribution of insurance policies
Insurance
policy distribution and brokerage income:
The
Company enters into contracts with insurance companies for the purpose of distributing insurance products to end consumers. The Company’s
performance obligation under these contracts is to sell insurance policies to earn commissions, brokerage and other fees. Revenue from
distribution services is recognized at a point in time when the related services are rendered as per the terms of the agreement with
customers. Revenue is disclosed net of the Goods and Service tax charged on such services.
Distribution
fee from underwriting and pricing:
The
Company enters into contracts with insurance companies for the purpose of underwriting insurance products for the automotive segment
including its pricing on behalf of insurers. The risk of underwriting the insurance contract is covered by the insurer and thus the Company
is considered as an agent for the purpose of recognizing revenue. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is
to underwrite and price the policies. The Company generates underwriting fees termed as Managing General Agent fees (MGA fees) on provision
of those services. The underwriting fees are determined as a percentage of net insurance premiums payable to the insurer (net of all
commissions, royalties, and administration fees). Revenue from underwriting and pricing is recognized upfront based on the point in time
i.e., at the time the policy is issued to the customer.
IaaS
platform enabled services:
Roadside
assistance and extended warranty income:
The
Company enters into contracts with insurance companies and other subscribers in order to provide roadside assistance services and extended
warranty services to their policyholders/subscribers. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is to provide
roadside assistance and extended warranty services as a stand ready obligation. The Company is the primary obligor in these transactions
and has latitude in establishing prices and selecting and contracting with suppliers, and is accordingly considered as principal
For
the purpose of recognizing gross revenue. Revenue from roadside assistance and extended warranty services is recorded over the
tenure of contract which is usually one
year .

to the consolidated financial statements
(in
US $, except share count)
Inspection
income:
The
Company enters into contracts with insurance companies to inspect vehicles for accident claims made by their policyholders. The Company’s
performance obligation under these contracts is to inspect and assist in assessing claims for and on behalf of the customers, i.e. the
insurance companies. The Company engages with multiple vendors to provide these services in different geographies. The Company is the
primary obligor in the transaction and has latitude in establishing prices, and selecting and contracting with suppliers, and is accordingly
considered as principal for the purpose of recognizing revenue. Revenue from inspection and risk assessment is recorded when the inspections
are conducted.
Administration
fee from insurance support and service plan administration:
The
Company enters into contracts with insurance companies to provide insurance support services which includes premium collection,
policy administration, claims handling and processing, customer service, updating customer files, etc., to provide better customer
experience for the policyholders/subscribers. Revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied through
effort expended to research, investigate, evaluate, document and process claims, and control of these services are transferred to
customers/insurance companies. The Company’s obligation to manage and process the claims under insurance support services can
range from 1 one to seven years . The Company receives administration fees from its customers at inception of the contract prior to
completion of transferring the services to the customer.
The
Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is to provide the above services as a stand ready obligation. The obligation
to provide insurance services lies with the insurer and the Company has no interest other than receiving the commission/management fee
retained. The Company provides the above services on behalf of the insurance companies and is accordingly considered as an agent for
the purpose of recognizing revenue.
The
Company enters into contracts with Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) primarily to administer the service
plans/extended warranty schemes launched by OEMs. The Company’s performance obligation under these contracts is to administer
these programs. The Company acts on behalf of the OEMs and is accordingly considered as an agent for the purpose of recognizing
revenue, as the primary obligation to fulfill the service/extended warranty schemes belongs to the OEMs. The administration fees
received from the provision of service plan administration is recorded ratably over the tenure of contract which usually ranges from
1 one to seven years .
f) Contract assets and liabilities
A
contract asset (unbilled revenue) is the right to receive consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer.
If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due,
a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional.
Contract
liabilities consist of amounts paid by the Company’s customers for which the associated performance obligations have not been satisfied
and revenue has not been recognized based on the Company’s revenue recognition criteria described above.
Contract
liabilities are classified as current in the consolidated balance sheet when the revenue recognition associated with the related customer
payments and invoicing is expected to occur within one year of the balance sheet date and as long-term when the revenue recognition associated
with the related customer payments and invoicing is expected to occur in more than one year from the balance sheet date.
g) Cost of services
The
cost of services for the Company’s distribution business includes employee related expenses directly involved in generating and
servicing revenue and other direct expenses related to facilities.
For
the Company’s IaaS platform-based services cost of revenue primarily consists of direct costs incurred for delivering the services
to customers and the cost of onsite engineering support for roadside assistance, employee related expenses, risk assessment expenses
and other direct expenses. Amounts incurred towards vendors/suppliers for inspections and roadside assistance also form part of direct
cost. Cost of services also includes cost of telematics devices sold through different subscription or upfront sale model.
Cost
of services are recognized as they are incurred.

h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents primarily represent cash balances in current bank accounts. The Company considers all short-term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
i) Restricted cash and cash equivalents
Restricted
cash and cash equivalents are pledged as security for contractual arrangements. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are classified as
current and noncurrent assets based on the term of the remaining restriction. The reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted
cash and cash equivalents to the consolidated balance sheets amounts are as follows:

j) Concentration of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents,
investment in equity securities and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and funds with banks that have
high credit ratings, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one bank and conducts ongoing evaluations of the creditworthiness
of the corporations and banks with which it does business. The Company holds cash and cash equivalent concentrations in financial institutions
around the world in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date related to these concentrations.
k) Accounts receivable, net
Accounts
receivables are recorded at invoice value, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, management evaluates its accounts
receivable and determines whether to provide an allowance or if any accounts should be written off based on a past history of write-offs,
collections, and current credit conditions. A receivable is considered past due if the Company has not received payments based on agreed-upon
terms.
l) Property and equipment
Property
and equipment represents the costs of furniture and fixtures, office and computer equipment, and leasehold improvements. Property and
equipment cost also includes any costs necessarily incurred to bring assets to the condition and location necessary for its intended
use. Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using
declining balance method over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

Computers

Furniture
and fixtures

Leasehold
improvements related to office facilities are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
The
Company reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of its property and equipment on an ongoing basis. Management is required to use
judgment in determining the estimated useful lives of such assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to
the Company’s business model, changes in the Company’s business strategy, or changes in the planned use of property and equipment
could result in the actual useful lives differing from the Company’s current estimates. In cases where the Company determines that
the estimated useful life of property and equipment should be shortened or extended, the Company would apply the new estimated useful
life prospectively.

Notes
to the consolidated financial statements
(in
US $, except share count)
The
Company reviews property and equipment for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Costs
of maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement
or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected
in operating expenses.
m) Intangible assets, net (including intangibles under development)
The
Company capitalizes costs incurred on its internal-use software during the application development stage as intangibles under development.
Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Once the developed software
is available for intended use, capitalization ceases, and the Company estimates the useful life of the asset and begins amortization.
Internal-use
software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is generally three
years and up to 11 eleven.
The
Company evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.
n) Leases
The
Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, “Leases” (“ASC
842”). The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits us not to reassess under ASC 842 our
prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company made a policy election not to
separate non-lease components from lease components, therefore, the Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease
component. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify.
The
Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception of the arrangement based on whether the Company has the right to obtain
substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset and whether it has the right to direct the use of an identified
asset in exchange for consideration, which relates to an asset which the Company does not own. Right of use (“ROU”) assets
represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized as the lease liability, adjusted for lease incentives received. Lease
liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to
determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), because
the interest rate implicit in most of its leases is not readily determinable. The IBR is a hypothetical rate based on our understanding
of what the Company’s credit rating would be to borrow and resulting interest it would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease
payments in a similar economic environment over the lease term on a collateralized basis. Lease payments may be fixed or variable; however,
only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are included in the Company’s lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments
may include costs such as common area maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease payments are recognized
in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred.
Operating
leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, short-term operating lease liabilities, current and long-term operating lease liabilities,
non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, accrued and
other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For operating leases,
lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis in operations over the lease term. For finance leases, lease expense is recognized
as depreciation and interest; depreciation on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest using the effective interest method.

o) Fair value measurements and financial instruments
The
Company holds financial instruments that are measured and disclosed at fair value. Fair value is determined in accordance with a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used, and the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs:
Unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs:
Other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full
term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 inputs:
Unobservable inputs for the
asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations
in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
The
Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the
valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company establishes the
fair value of its assets and liabilities using the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and established a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used
to measure fair value. The recorded amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their
relatively short maturities.
p) Business combination
The
Company accounts for an acquisition as a business combination if the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction constitute
a business in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” Such
acquisitions are accounted using the acquisition method i.e., by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Where
the set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed do not constitute a business, it is accounted for as an asset acquisition where the
individual assets and liabilities are recorded at their respective relative fair values corresponding to the consideration transferred.

q) Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions accounted for using the
acquisition method of accounting and is not amortized. Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment on an annual basis in accordance
with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely
than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such events and changes may include: significant changes
in performance related to expected operating results, significant changes in asset use, significant negative industry or economic trends,
and changes in our business strategy.
The
Company’s test for goodwill impairment starts with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the
quantitative goodwill impairment test. If qualitative factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than
not less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. For the purposes of impairment testing,
the Company determined that it has only one reporting unit.
r) Foreign currency
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. Dollars (“USD”), the Parent Company’s functional
currency. The functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in India, is the Indian Rupee (“INR”), the functional
currency of the Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom is the British Pound Sterling (“GBP”). The translation of
the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries into USD is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates
in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenues and expense accounts using an average exchange rate prevailing during the respective
period. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported as currency translation adjustments (“CTA”) under
other comprehensive income/loss, or under accumulated other comprehensive income/loss as a separate component of equity.
Monetary
assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional
currency are translated into their respective functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Transactions
of the Company and its subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are translated
into the respective functional currencies at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period of the transaction. The gains or
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
s) Employee benefit plans
Contributions
to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated statements of operations in the period in which services are rendered by the
covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability from
defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting
from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees.
The
Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other
assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, future compensation increases and attrition rates. The Company reviews its assumptions
on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The
effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in its entirety immediately. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized
in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions .
t) Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) for all inventories.
u) Income taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In estimating future tax consequences, generally all expected future events other than enactments or changes in the tax law or rates
are considered.
The
Company accounts for uncertainty in tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements by recognizing a tax benefit from
an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions
of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized.
F- 15
Roadzen
Inc.
Notes
to the consolidated financial statements
(in
US $, except share count)
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and for all operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws or rates
is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced
by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
Future
realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within
the carryback or carryforward periods available under the applicable tax law.
The
Company regularly reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income,
the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The Company’s judgment regarding
future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute the business
plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company’s income
tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.
v) Income/loss per share attributable to common shareholders
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires
income available to holders of Ordinary Share for the period to be allocated between Ordinary Shares and participating securities based
upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. For the reclassified periods
prior to the Business Combination, the Roadzen (DE) convertible preferred stock is a participating security because holders of such shares
have dividend rights in the event that a cash dividend was declared on
the common stock of Roadzen (DE) at an amount equal to dividend paid on each share of Roadzen (DE) common stock. The convertible notes
of Roadzen (DE) prior to the Business Combination and of the Company at and subsequent to the Business Combination are not considered
participating securities. The holders of the convertible preferred stock in Roadzen (DE) prior to the Business Combination would have
been would be entitled to dividends in preference to shareholders of Roadzen (DE) common stock, at specified rates, if declared. Then
any remaining earnings would be distributed to the holders of Roadzen (DE) common stock and convertible preferred stock on a pro-rata
basis assuming conversion of all convertible preferred stock into common stock of Roadzen (DE).
Basic
net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income/(loss) attributable to Ordinary Shares or, pre-Business Combination,
common stock of Roadzen (DE) by the weighted-average number of Ordinary Shares or, pre-Business Combination, common stock of Roadzen
(DE), outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is
computed by dividing the net income/(loss) attributable to Ordinary Shares or, pre-Business Combination, common stock of Roadzen (DE),
by the weighted-average number of Ordinary Shares or, pre-Business Combination, common stock of Roadzen (DE), and potentially dilutive
securities that could have been outstanding for the period.
w) Investments
Equity
securities
Equity
investments with a readily determinable fair value, other than equity method investments, are measured at fair value with changes in
fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, are
measured at cost, less any impairment.
x) Commitments and contingencies
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies
are expensed as incurred. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from third parties that are probable of realization are separately
recorded as assets and are not offset against the related environmental liability.
y) Expenses
Set
forth below is a brief description of the components of the Company’s expenses:
i. Sales,
marketing and business development expense
Sales
expenses includes costs related to brokerage income which is derived from sale of insurance policies such as broker expenses, cost of
sales, promotion expense, and travel and entertainment expenses. Broker expense is the compensation paid to
our channel partners when an insurance policy is written through a broker relationship. This function also includes expenses incurred
directly or indirectly for selling and marketing a product or service and costs spent on/by personnel employed under the sales or marketing
departments and share based compensation expenses. These expenses also include marketing efforts made by the Company to expand its market
reach for distributing insurance policies. The expenses include advertisements through different mediums to reach end customers of insurance
policies to enhance awareness and educate end customers.

ii. General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses include personnel costs for corporate, finance, legal and other support staff, including bonus and share
based compensation expenses, professional fees, allowance for doubtful accounts and other corporate expenses.
iii. Research
and development expense
Research
and development expense consists of personnel costs incurred by the technology development team, subscription costs and other costs associated
with ongoing improvements to and maintenance of internally developed software, share based compensation expenses and allocation of certain
corporate costs.
z) Recently issued accounting pronouncements and not yet adopted
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that
an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to
private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting
standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting
standards election, the Company will not be subject to the same implementation timeline for new or revised accounting standards as other
public companies that are not emerging growth companies which may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements to those
of other public companies more difficult.
i. In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other
Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity,” which signifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with
characteristics of liability and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts
on an entity’s own equity. The standard reduces the number of models used to account
for convertible instruments, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for
equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and requires the if-converted
method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for all convertible instruments. The
ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier
than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.
ii. In
October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract
Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a
business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred
revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At
the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the
acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU should be
applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim
period. If early adopted, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations
for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial
statements.
iii. In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant
segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim
periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that
are currently required annually. It requires a public entity to disclose the title and position
of the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this
ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company
adopted the new standard effective March 31, 2025, which impacted disclosures only, with no impact to results of operations, cash flows, or
financial condition.
iv. In
December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Improvements to
Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which provides for additional
disclosures primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliations and income taxes paid.
ASU 2023-09 requires entities to annually disclose the income tax rate reconciliation using
both amounts and percentages, considering several categories of reconciling items, including
state and local income taxes, foreign tax effects, tax credits and nontaxable or nondeductible
items, among others. Disclosure of the reconciling items is subject to a quantitative threshold
and disaggregation by nature and jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose
net income taxes paid or received to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as well as
by individual jurisdiction, subject to a five percent quantitative threshold. ASU 2023 -09
may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.
aa) Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Accounting Standards Adopted
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets by requiring an allowance
to be recorded as an offset to the amortized cost of such assets. The standard primarily impacts the amortized cost of the Company’s
available-for-sale debt securities. The Company adopted this standard, which did not result in a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.

$ 1,989,776 in advances were extended to Peoplebay Consultancy Services Private Limited, FA Events & Media Private Limited, and FA
Premium Insurance Private Limited. However, due to a loss of control over these entities during the previous year, the Company is doubtful
on the recovery of these advances and has consequently created a provision.

Other receivables includes amount of $ 2,800,000
to be received from a subscriber on account of issuance of
preferred stock of Roadzen (DE) during the financial year 2023-24 which was converted to ordinary shares upon business combination. However,
upon non receipt of the same a 100% provision of $ 2,800,000 was created against it.
iii)
Forward purchase agreement
On
August 25, 2023, the company entered into an agreement with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (ii) Meteora Select
Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and
(iii)
Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, “Seller”) (the “Forward Purchase
Agreement” or “FPA”) for OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions.
The
FPA represents the recognition of the cash payments to the Seller of $ 41.2 million (including prepayment of $ 41.15 million and the reimbursable
transaction cost of $ 0.05 million) and the FPA with regard to 3,138,628 shares (recycled shares) and 702,255 shares (FPA subscription
shares).The fair value of the FPA receivable is comprised of the Prepayment Amount (as defined in the FPA, $ 41.2 million) and is reduced
by the economics of the downside provided to the Sellers ($ 32.6 million) and the estimated consideration payment at the Cash Settlement
Payment Date ($ 8.6 million). During year ended March 31, 2025, an additional $ 1 million was received from the Seller, bringing the total
cash receipts to $ 4.8 million.
Following
the balance sheet date, a contractual dispute arose between the Company and the Seller, regarding alleged breaches of the terms of the
FPA. In April 2025, the Company initiated legal proceedings against the Seller, citing that despite negotiated safeguards, Meteora sold shares without honoring its payment obligations or providing the
required notices under the FPA. The
Seller subsequently filed a counterclaim, alleging breach of contract by the Company on the grounds of non-registration of FPA Subscription
shares. The dispute includes disagreement over the number of outstanding shares with the Seller as reported by the Company versus those
disclosed in the Seller’s filing of Schedule 13G/A with the Securities Exchange Commission, and the termination date of the FPA.
Due
to the ongoing uncertainty regarding the resolution of these matters and unavailability of any reliable accounting estimate as of the
reporting date, the Company has continued to value its FPA receivable on the latest available Fair Valuation report obtained before the
above-mentioned contractual dispute i.e. as of December 31, 2024. The FPA remains classified as a financial instrument, and its fair
value will be reassessed in future periods once the dispute is resolved and adequate valuation inputs are accessible.

Moonshot - Internet SAS (“Moonshot”)
Roadzen
(DE) invested $ 2,410,000 representing 6.68 % equity stake in Moonshot - Internet SAS, a simplified Joint Stock Company existing under
the laws of France, which is a subsidiary of Societe Generale. Moonshot is an InsurTech company, registered as an insurance broker, which
specializes in usage-based insurance products and services dedicated to E-Commerce. Roadzen (DE) has a representative on the board of
directors of Moonshot, however the investment of 6.68 % does not give Roadzen (DE) the ability to significantly influence the operating
and financial policies of Moonshot, since majority ownership of Moonshot is concentrated with a single shareholder. Therefore, Roadzen
(DE) uses the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values for its investment in Moonshot.
The Company carries this investment at cost, less impairment.
b)
Daokang (Beijing) Data Science Company Ltd. (“Daokang”)
Roadzen
(DE) entered into a joint venture contract with WI Harper VIII LLP and Shangrao Langtai Daokang Information Technology Co. Ltd. and invested
an amount of $ 2,500,030 (representing a 34.5 % of equity interest) of Daokang. Despite its significant equity interest in Daokang, Roadzen
(DE) has attempted but has not been able to obtain adequate financial information as per USGAAP to apply equity method. Predecessor Roadzen,
therefore, was unable to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Daokang. Accordingly, Roadzen (DE)
used the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values for its investment in Daokang. The Company
carries this investment at cost, less impairment.
The
Company evaluates its non-marketable equity securities for impairment in each reporting period based on a qualitative assessment
that considers various potential impairment indicators. This evaluation consists of several factors including, but not limited to,
an assessment of significant adverse change in the economic environment, significant adverse changes in the general market condition
of the geographies and industries in which our investees operate, and other available financial information as per the local
reporting requirements applicable to the relevant jurisdictions that affects the value of our non-marketable equity securities.
Based on such assessment, the Company has recorded an impairment of NIL (PY. $ 2,140,530 )
for Moonshot - Internet SAS and $ 1,245,326 (PY. $ 1,254,704 )
for Daokang (Beijing) Data Science Company Ltd. till March 31, 2025.

Securities USA LLC (“Mizuho”) on June 30, 2023 (“Issuance Date”) as administrative agent amounting to $ 1,489,818 .
Each warrant grants the holder the right to purchase one Ordinary Share of the Company at an exercise price of $ 0.001
with a cashless settlement option where the difference between the exercise price and the market price would be paid to the warrant
holder in the form of Ordinary Shares. Since the Company has Warrants traded under the symbol RDZNW, market price method was used to
compute the fair market value on the reporting date. The warrants issued are recognized as derivative liabilities and were initially
measured using the Black-Scholes model and are subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes recorded in
consolidated statements of operation. As per the agreement entered into, if the principal and interest payments are not made as per
the repayment schedule, the Company is obliged to issue warrants in the sequence below. On May 14, 2024, as required by the terms of
this senior secured notes agreement, the Company issued to Mizuho a warrant to purchase 1,432,517
Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $ 0.0001

The
Company uses a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in its determination of the fair value of its Level 1 classified
derivative warrant liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on the volatility of its ordinary share warrants,
based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s ordinary
shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. For key aspects of valuation of convertible debentures refer note 13.

Assets
measured at Fair Value on a non-recurring basis
The
Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment are adjusted to fair value when
an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominately on Level 3 inputs.
Non-Marketable
Equity Securities
The
Company measures its non-marketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values under the measurement alternative
at cost less impairment, adjusted by price changes from observable transactions recorded within “Other income/(expense) net”
in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held
companies without readily determinable fair values and primarily relate to its investment in Daokang and Moonshot. During the year ended
March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a impairment loss for it’s non-marketable equity securities, refer note 6.
Management
of risks
Interest
rate risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due
to change to market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk for its long- term debts where the interest rates are
variable according to the market conditions.
Foreign
currency risk - The Company monitors its foreign currency exposures on a regular basis. The operations are primarily denominated
in United States Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Indian Rupees and Euros. For the purpose of analyzing foreign currency exchange risk, we considered
the historical trends in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on a sensitivity analysis we have performed as of March 31, 2025, an
adverse 10 % foreign currency exchange rate change applied to total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than
the United States Dollar would not have a material effect on our financial statements.
21 Investments
These
balances include certain investments in mutual funds that are recorded at fair value. Any changes to the fair value are recorded in “Fair
value gains/(losses) in financial instruments carried at fair value” due to the election of the fair value option of accounting
for financial instruments.

Indemnifications
In
the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company agrees to provide indemnification
of varying scope and terms to customers, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including losses arising
out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties, if the Company has violated applicable laws, if the Company is
negligent or commits acts of willful misconduct, and other liabilities with respect to its products and services and its business. In
these circumstances, payment is typically conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular
contract. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities
related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements.
23 Net loss per share
Basic
net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders is computed by dividing the net loss by the number of weighted-average outstanding
ordinary shares. Diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders is determined by giving effect to all potential common
equivalents during the reporting period, unless including them yields an antidilutive result. The Company considers its preferred stocks,
convertible notes and share warrants as potential common equivalents, but excluded them from the computation of diluted net loss per
share attributable to ordinary shareholders in the periods presented, as their effect was antidilutive.
The
following table sets forth the computation of basic net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders and preferred stock holders:

The
Company’s potential dilutive securities, which include restricted stock units, convertible instruments and share warrants have
been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti- dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.

The
Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income,
the expected timing of the reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The Company’s judgement
regarding future profitability may change due to many factors, including future market conditions and the ability to successfully execute
the business plans and/or tax planning strategies. Should there be a change in the intangible on account of business combination ability
to recover deferred tax assets, the Company’s income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment
is changed. The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $ 14,981,556 during the period ended March 31, 2025 and $ 17,429,473 during
the year ended March 31, 2024.
The
Company has not provided U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because the
Company intends to permanently reinvest such earnings outside the U.S.
Net
operating loss and credit carry forwards
As
of March 31, 2025, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 41,091,266 of which none are subject
to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (IRC Section 382). The federal net operating loss carry forwards that were generated
prior to the 2018 tax year will begin to expire in 2030 if not utilized. For net operating loss carry forwards arising in tax years beginning
after March 31, 2017, the tax act limits the Company’s ability to utilize carry forwards to 80% of taxable income, however, these
operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely. The state (Delaware) net operating loss carry forwards will begin to expire in
2032 if not utilized. The Company has foreign tax credits which will expire at the end of 8 years from the end of the assessment year
in which these tax credits were originated.
Utilization
of the net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change provisions of
IRC Section 382 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the inability to fully offset future annual taxable
income and could result in the expiration of net operating loss carry forwards before utilization. The Company continually reviews the
impact to net operating losses of any ownership changes.
Unrecognized
tax benefits
The
Company has adopted authoritative guidance which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax return, and also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
The Company did no t have any unrecognized tax benefits with a significant impact on its financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and
March 31, 2024.
The
Company’s major tax jurisdictions are India, the United Kingdom and the U.S. The U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions
have statutes of limitations that generally range from three to six years. Due to the Company’s net losses, substantially all of
its federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination for federal and state purposes.
25
Segment reporting
Operating
segments are defined as components of an entity where discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive
Officer as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company’s CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of making
operating decisions, fund raising, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has
determined that it operates in a single reporting segment.
26
Stock based compensation
The
share-based compensation awards issued under the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan to the Company’s employees,
officers, directors, are all equity-classified instruments Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding as of March 31,
2025 have service vesting conditions up to March 2027. Compensation expenses are based on the grant-date fair value of the awards
and recognized over the requisite service period using a straight-line method for stock options and a graded vesting method for
RSUs. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of employee stock awards as they occur.
Share-based
compensation is in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). The fair value per RSU is calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation
model.

Stock-based
compensation expense related to RSUs granted to employees was $ 47,211,816 for the year ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the
unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was approximately $ 260,262 which is expected to be recognized over the remaining
unvested period of RSU’s.
On
September 18, 2023, prior to the business combination, Roadzen DE granted 9,903,500 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) under the 2023 Omnibus
Incentive Plan. These RSUs were initially scheduled to vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, specifically on September
17, 2024. However, the Board of Directors of Roadzen DE has subsequently decided to extend the vesting period by an additional year,
revising the vesting date to September 17, 2025. Consequently, outstanding 9,507,928 RSUs did not vest as originally anticipated on September
17, 2024.
Based
on the current market price of the shares, management has assessed that this revised vesting timeline will not result in any additional
RSU compensation expense being recognized in the company’s financial statements.
