CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein may contain forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein,
including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management
for future operations, are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including
“anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,”
“expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,”
“should,” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward
looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are
only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk
Factors” or elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, which may cause our or our industry’s
actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements to differ materially.
Moreover, we operate in a highly regulated and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible
for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
We
have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends
that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short term and long term business operations,
and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those reflected in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this prospectus, and in particular, the risks discussed below and under the heading
“Risk Factors” and those discussed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The following
discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and notes incorporated
by reference therein. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements,
except as required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed
in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking
statement.
You
should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this prospectus. Except
as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this
prospectus to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.
Any
forward-looking statement you read in this prospectus or any document incorporated by reference reflects our current views with respect
to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, operating results,
growth strategy and liquidity. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because such statements speak
only as to the date when made. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason,
or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new
information becomes available in the future, except as otherwise required by applicable law. You are advised, however, to consult any
further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports on Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K filed with the SEC. You should understand
that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete
set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Overview
Roadzen
Inc. is a leading Insurtech company on a mission to transform global auto insurance powered by advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”).
At the heart of our mission is our commitment to create transparency, efficiency, and a seamless experience for the millions of end customers
who use our products through our insurer, OEM, and fleet (such as trucking, delivery, and commercial fleets) partners. We seek to accomplish
this by combining computer vision, telematics and AI with continually updated data sources to provide a more efficient, effective and
informed way of building auto insurance products, assessing damages, processing claims and improving driver safety. Insurers and other
partners of Roadzen across the world use Roadzen’s technology to launch new auto insurance products, manage risk better and resolve
claims faster. These products are built with dynamic underwriting capabilities, Application Programming Interface, or API-led distribution
and real-time claims processing.
Roadzen
has built a pioneering technology platform that uses telematics, computer vision and data science to spearhead innovation across the
insurance value chain, namely underwriting, distribution, claims and road safety. We call it the Roadzen “Insurance as a Service”
(“IaaS”) platform. Our business generates commission-based revenue as an insurance broker focused on embedded and B2B2C (Business-to-Business-to-Customer)
insurance distribution, and fee-based revenue as a provider of innovative cloud, mobile, and AI-based telematics applications for the
auto insurance economy.
Roadzen
has four major client types:
|
● |
Insurance
— including insurance companies, reinsurers, agents, brokers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Automotive
— including carmakers, dealerships, online-to-offline car sales platforms; |
|
|
|

— including small and medium fleets, taxi fleets, ridesharing platforms, commercial and corporate fleets; and |
|
|
|

Other

Our
operations are global, and our partners consist of market-leading insurance companies, fleets, automotive original equipment manufacturers
(“OEMs”) and carmakers, including AXA, SCOR, Arch, Société Générale, Jaguar Land Rover, Audi,
Mercedes, Volvo and several others. In June of 2023, we made two acquisitions as part of our market entry strategy into the important
U.S. and U.K. markets. Our subsidiary in the U.K., Global Insurance Management Ltd. (“GIM”), is a leading specialist Managing
General Agent (“MGA”) providing auto insurance, extended warranties, and claims management to insurers, car dealers, car
companies, and fleets. GIM delivers services globally, leveraging its MGA license in the U.K. market and using third-party licenses elsewhere.
GIM provides brokerage services to insurance companies, where it acts as a delegated authority of the insurance company to sell the insurer’s
policies using its brokerage platform, as well as to adjudicate and pay claims. GIM collects a commission and an administrative fee as
a percentage of the Gross Written Premium (“GWP”) for each policy sold from the insurer/re-insurer during this process. GIM’s
specialty insurance contracts typically have an average term of five years. GIM is headquartered in Coventry, England. Roadzen’s
subsidiary in the U.S., National Automobile Club (“NAC”), is a licensed auto club in California and a provider of claims
management and 24/7 commercial roadside assistance (“RSA”) in the U.S. NAC focuses on the commercial automotive industry
and its network comprises over 75,000 professional service providers, offering tow, transport, and first notice of loss (“FNOL”)
services. NAC’s customers include government fleets, enterprises, commercial fleets, car companies and insurers across the U.S.
NAC is headquartered in Burlingame, California.
Our
mission is to build the leading company at the intersection of artificial intelligence (“AI”), insurance and mobility. To
further our mission, we have built a pioneering lab focused on fundamental and applied AI research. We work on core research areas in
computer vision, generative AI, and traditional machine learning to develop product experiences that improve the safety, convenience,
and protection of millions of drivers across the world. Roadzen is a founding member of the AI Alliance fostering safe, responsible,
and open source development alongside industry leaders such as Meta, IBM, Hugging Face, Stability AI, AMD, Service Now, and others. Our
approach to build precision AI models in insurance and mobility has won several industry accolades. In October 2021, Forbes Magazine
ranked Roadzen among the Top 10 AI companies. In 2022, Financial Express named Roadzen AI Startup of the Year. Additionally, the Company
won two awards at the prestigious Global Artificial Intelligence Summit & Awards: “Best Use of AI in Mobility” and “Best
Use of AI in Insurance,” both presented by the All India Council for Robotics & Automation (AICRA).
Recent
Development
On
December 12, 2024, we announced that we had reached an agreement in principle with Mizuho to extend the maturity date of the Company’s
$11.5 million 15% senior secured notes by one year, to December 31, 2025. The extension is an agreement in principle and has not yet
been memorialized in any definitive documentation. As such, the completion of the extension is subject to, among other things, the negotiation
of definitive agreements for the extension and satisfaction of the conditions negotiated therein.
On
December 15, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity, as the representative
of the underwriters named therein, relating to a firm commitment underwritten public offering of an aggregate of up to (i) 1,900,000
Ordinary Shares at a price to the public of $1.25 per Ordinary Share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)
to purchase 400,000 Ordinary Shares at a price to the public of $1.249 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The closing of the offering occurred on
December 17, 2024. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Ordinary Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, including 300,000
shares sold upon full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares, after deducting the underwriting discounts
and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, was approximately $2.5 million. Upon closing of
the offering, the Company issued certain employees of ThinkEquity warrants to purchase up to 115,000 shares of Ordinary Shares.
Such warrants will be exercisable at a per share exercise price of $1.5625, and are exercisable, in whole or in part, during the five
year period commencing on December 15, 2024.
On
December 27, 2024, we entered into two separate subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with related parties,
Marco Polo and Avacara. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, on that date, approximately $3.5 million in aggregate of
liabilities of the Company to such entities was canceled in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 1,227,857 Ordinary Shares (with
892,857 Shares issued to Marco Polo and 335,000 Shares issued to Avacara), as contemplated by the binding term sheets entered into by
the Company on July 18, 2024 and reported in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 23, 2024.
On
January 2, 2025, we entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) with ThinkEquity, pursuant to which
the Company agreed to issue and sell directly to one or more investors, in a best efforts offering, an aggregate of 2,222,300 Ordinary
Shares at an offering price of $2.25 per Ordinary Share. The offering closed on January 6, 2025. The Company received gross proceeds
of approximately $ 5.0 million in connection with the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses
payable by the Company. As part of its compensation for acting as placement agent for the offering, the Company paid ThinkEquity a cash
fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds and also issued to certain employees of ThinkEquity warrants to purchase 111,115 Ordinary
Shares. Such warrants have a term of five years commencing January 2, 2025, are exercisable commencing July 1, 2025, and have
an exercise price of $2.8125 per Ordinary Share.
Other
Information
We
were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on April 22, 2021. Roadzen, Inc. (“Roadzen (DE)”) was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on May 7, 2015. Our principal executive offices are located at 111 Anza Blvd., Suite 109 Burlingame, CA 94010. We also
maintain a website at www.roadzen.ai. The information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this

The
Offering
On
November 22, 2021, Mizuho and Vahanna entered into a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which Vahanna issued to Mizuho
an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Vahanna’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase
price of $500,000. On September 20, 2023, Vahanna, Roadzen (DE), and Vahanna Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of Vahanna (“Merger Sub”), consummated the business combination 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”). On September 27, 2024, Vahanna LLC transferred 25,000 Ordinary
Shares to each of Abha Kumar and Diane Glossman.
On
June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Mizuho, as administrative
agent and collateral agent, and as a purchaser, pursuant to which Mizuho purchased an aggregate principal amount of $7,500,000 of senior
secured notes (the “Mizuho Notes”). The Mizuho Notes bear interest at a rate of 15.0% per annum, which would automatically
increase by 5% if the Company fails to prepay the Mizuho Notes upon the occurrence of certain mandatory prepayment events as set forth
in the Note Purchase Agreement. The Mizuho Notes were originally scheduled to mature on June 30, 2024. On June 30, 2024, Mizuho granted
to the Company a waiver of payment until July 31, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the senior secured
notes, providing for an additional $4 million in principal amount to a total of $11.5 million, and an extension of the maturity date
to December 31, 2024. Terms of the notes are otherwise the same as the original notes issued in June 2023, including an interest rate
of 15% per annum, and did not require any additional warrants. On December 12, 2024 the Company announced an agreement in principle
with Mizuho to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025.
Pursuant
to the Note Purchase Agreement, because the Mizuho Notes were not repaid in full by December 30, 2023, the Company became obligated to
issue to the noteholders, warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares equal to 2.5% of the ownership interests of the Company on a fully diluted
basis as of June 30, 2023, the date of the closing on the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Mizuho Warrants”). The shares underlying
the Mizuho Warrants are referred to herein as the “Mizuho Warrant Shares.” On May 14, 2024, the Company issued the Mizuho
Warrants representing a right to purchase 1,432,517 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $0.001 per share. The Mizuho Warrants will
expire five (5) years after issuance or earlier upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the issuer.
On
December 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2023 Convertible SPA”), among
the Company and the investors party thereto. Pursuant to the terms of the December 2023 Convertible SPA, the Company may issue and sell
an aggregate of up to $50 million in principal amount of convertible debentures (the “December 2023 Convertible Debentures”),
on a private placement basis (collectively, the “December 2023 Private Placement”). The Company held an initial closing of
the December 2023 Private Placement, at which it received $400,000 in proceeds on December 15, 2023. On January 19, 2024, the Company
issued an additional convertible debenture under the December 2023 Convertible SPA in the principal amount of $500,000 to Supurna VedBrat
(the “VedBrat Debenture”), a director of the Company, for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the VedBrat Debenture.
Also on January 19, 2024, Ms. VedBrat became a party to the December 2023 Convertible SPA and entered into a letter agreement with the
Company (the “Letter Agreement”) with respect to her investment in the Company pursuant to the VedBrat Debenture. On February
7, 2024 the Company issued an additional convertible debenture under the December 2023 Convertible SPA in the principal amount of $200,000
and may sell additional Debentures at additional closings from time to time.
The
December 2023 Convertible Debentures bear interest, in arrears, at a rate of 13% per annum, payable semi-annually commencing on June
15, 2024, and matures on December 15, 2025. Interest is payable in kind, subject to the right of the Company to make any interest payments
in cash. Such debentures are convertible into the Company’s Ordinary Shares, at the election of the holder at any time at an initial
conversion price of $10.00 per Ordinary Share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments
for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like. In addition, if the average volume weighted average price of the Ordinary
Shares for the 30 trading days immediately preceding December 15, 2024 (the “Average VWAP”) is less than the Conversion Price
then in effect, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to an amount equal to such Average VWAP, subject to a floor of 85% of the Conversion
Price then in effect. The Company has the right to require the Debentures to be converted into Ordinary Shares if the closing price of
the Ordinary Shares exceeds 130% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for any 20 trading days within a consecutive 30 trading day-period.
Holders of the December 2023 Convertible Debentures have the right to require the Company to repurchase the December 2023 Convertible
Debentures for a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the December 2023 Convertible Debentures, plus any accrued
but unpaid interest, in the event of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the December 2023 Convertible Debentures).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company has (i) granted Ms. VedBrat certain most favored nations rights with respect to future

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
are registering the resale by the selling securityholders of up to 3,470,079 Ordinary Shares.
The
securities beneficially owned by the selling securityholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by
the selling securityholders. The term “selling securityholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors
in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from selling securityholders as a gift, pledge, partnership
distribution or other transfer. The selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing,
manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices
and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling securityholders
may dispose of their securities by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
|
● |
distributions
to members, partners, shareholders or other equityholders of the selling securityholders; |
|
● |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
|
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
|
● |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
● |
an
over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq; |
|
● |
through
trading plans entered into by selling securityholders pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time
of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their
securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans; |
|
● |
to
or through underwriters or broker-dealers; |
|
● |
in
“at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing
at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities
exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; |
|
● |
in
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
● |
in
options transactions; |
|
● |
through
a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or |
|
● |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
In
addition, any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
A selling securityholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of ordinary shares to its members, partners, shareholders
or other equityholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus. To the
extent that such members, partners, shareholders or other equityholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, shareholders
or other equityholders would thereby receive freely tradable securities pursuant to a distribution pursuant to the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part.
To
the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In
connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short
sales of securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may
also sell the securities short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The selling securityholders may also enter
into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling securityholders may also
pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution,
may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

selling securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to
third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives,
the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions.
If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any selling securityholder or borrowed from any selling securityholder or others
to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any selling securityholder
in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will
be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any selling
securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities
short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in
our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In
effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling securityholders in amounts to be negotiated
immediately prior to the sale.
In
offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the selling securityholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling
securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.
Any profits realized by the selling securityholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts
and commissions.
In
order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered
or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is
complied with.
We
have advised the selling securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of
securities in the market and to the activities of the selling securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies
of this prospectus available to the selling securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. The selling securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the
securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At
the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number
of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price
paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed
or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

INDEMNIFICATION
OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Subject
to the provisions of the BVI Companies Act, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Roadzen provides that
Roadzen may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and
reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:
(a)
is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of Roadzen; or
(b)
is or was, at the request of Roadzen, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Pursuant
to the BVI Companies Act, the indemnity applies only to a person who has acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to
be the best interests of Roadzen and, in the case of criminal proceedings, provided the person had no reasonable cause to believe that
his conduct was unlawful. The Registrant shall not indemnify a person who has not so acted, and any indemnity given to such a person
is void and of no effect.
The
termination of any proceedings by any judgement, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of Roadzen or that
the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by Roadzen
in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount
if it shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by Roadzen in accordance with the Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by
Roadzen in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director
to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former director is not entitled to be indemnified by Roadzen in accordance
with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as Roadzen deems
appropriate.
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any agreement, resolution of members, resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person’s
official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a director of Roadzen.
The
Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director of Roadzen, or who at the request of
Roadzen is or was serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether
or not Roadzen has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability under the Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association.
In
addition, Roadzen may maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers against
loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to Roadzen with respect to payments which may be
made by Roadzen to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus were passed upon
for us by Maples & Calder.

Item
15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subject
to the provisions of the BVI Companies Act, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Roadzen provides that
Roadzen may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and
reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:
(a)
is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of Roadzen; or
(b)
is or was, at the request of Roadzen, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Pursuant
to the BVI Companies Act, the indemnity applies only to a person who has acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to
be the best interests of Roadzen and, in the case of criminal proceedings, provided the person had no reasonable cause to believe that
his conduct was unlawful. The Registrant shall not indemnify a person who has not so acted, and any indemnity given to such a person
is void and of no effect.
The
termination of any proceedings by any judgement, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of Roadzen or that
the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by Roadzen
in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount
if it shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by Roadzen in accordance with the Amended and
Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by
Roadzen in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director
to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former director is not entitled to be indemnified by Roadzen in accordance
with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as Roadzen deems
appropriate.
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any agreement, resolution of members, resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person’s
official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a director of Roadzen.
The
Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director of Roadzen, or who at the request of
Roadzen is or was serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether
or not Roadzen has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability under the Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association.
In
addition, Roadzen may maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers against
loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to Roadzen with respect to payments which may be
made by Roadzen to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item
17. Undertakings.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained
in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i)
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on
Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier
of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the
offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date
an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the
registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or
modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in
any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii)
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating
to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall
be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated
or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as
to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first
use.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant
to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act
of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(7)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth
the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed
securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters
is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to
set forth the terms of such offering.
(8)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(9)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to
act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission
under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant

The
documents listed in paragraphs 1.8 to 1.26 inclusive above shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Documents”.
The
Supurna Warrants, the Mizuho Warrant and the ThinkEquity Warrants together being, the “Warrant Documents”).
The
following opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this
opinion letter. These opinions only relate to the laws of the British Virgin Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion letter.
In giving the following opinions we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy, as at the date of
this opinion letter, of the Registry List of Directors, the Registered Agent’s Certificate, the Certificate of Good Standing and
the Director’s Certificate. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:
2.1 | The
Documents have been or will be authorised and duly executed and unconditionally delivered
by or on behalf of all relevant parties in accordance with all relevant laws (including,
without limitation, the laws of the British Virgin Islands). |
2.2 | The
Documents are, or will be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties
in accordance with its terms under all relevant laws (including, without limitation, the
laws of the British Virgin Islands). |
| |
2.3 | Copies
of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete
copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals. |
| |
2.4 | All
signatures, initials and seals are genuine. |
| |
2.5 | That
all public records of the Company which we have examined are accurate and that the information
disclosed by the searches which we conducted against the Company at the Registry of Corporate
Affairs and the High Court Registry is true and complete and that such information has not
since then been altered and that such searches did not fail to disclose any information which
had been delivered for registration but did not appear on the public records at the date
of our searches. |
| |
2.6 | The
Memorandum and Articles remain in full force and effect and are unamended and that there
are a sufficient number of authorised shares to allow for the issuance of the Ordinary Shares. |
| |
2.7 | The
Resolutions were each signed by all the directors in the manner prescribed in the Memorandum
and Articles of the Company, including as to the disclosure of any director’s interests,
and have not been amended, varied or revoked in any respect. |
| |
2.8 | The
members of the Company (the “Members”) have not restricted or limited
the powers of the directors of the Company in any way. |
| |
2.9 | No
invitation has been or will be made by or on behalf of the Company to the public in the British
Virgin Islands to subscribe for any of the Ordinary Shares. |
| |
2.10 | The
Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Documents have been, or will be, duly registered,
and will continue to be registered, in the Company’s register of members. |
| |
2.11 | The
Company has received, or will receive, cash consideration or non-cash consideration in consideration
for the issue of the Ordinary Shares, and that: |
| (a) | none
of the Ordinary Shares have been, or will be, issued for less than their par value; and |
| | |
| (b) | to
the extent that any Ordinary Shares are, or will be, issued, in whole or in part, for non-cash
consideration, the value of the non-cash consideration and cash consideration, if any, is
not less than the amount credited or to be credited for such Ordinary Shares. |
2.12 | The
issue of the Ordinary Shares to the Selling Securityholders by the Company as contemplated
by the Documents, as applicable, was authorised and such Ordinary Shares were legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable (as a matter of all relevant laws, other than the laws of the
British Virgin Islands) and all conditions to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares pursuant
to the Documents were satisfied. |
2.13 | At
the time of the exercise of each of the Warrant Documents in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the applicable Warrant Documents (each such exercise, a “Warrant Exercise”): |
| (a) | the
laws of the British Virgin Islands (including the Act (as defined below)) will not have changed
in such way as to materially impact the Warrant Exercise; |
| | |
| (b) | the
Company will have sufficient authorised but unissued Ordinary Shares to effect the Warrant
Exercise in accordance with the Warrant Documents, the Memorandum and Articles and the Act; |
| | |
| (c) | the
Company will not have been struck off or placed in liquidation; |
| | |
| (d) | the
issue price for each Ordinary Share issued upon Warrant Exercise will not be less than the
par value of such share; and |
| | |
| (e) | the
terms and provisions of the Warrant Documents relating to the Warrant Exercise and the terms
of the Memorandum and Articles will not have been altered, amended or restated or subject
to any adjustment. |
2.14 | Prior
to the re-sale of any such Ordinary Shares by the Selling Securityholders as contemplated
by the Registration Statement the Warrant Exercise shall have occurred with regard to any
Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant Documents. |
| |
2.15 | There
is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the British Virgin Islands) which would
or might affect the opinions set out below. |
Save
as aforesaid we have not been instructed to undertake and have not undertaken any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the
transaction the subject of this opinion.
Based
upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations
as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:
3.1 | The
Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Securityholders to be resold as contemplated by the Registration
Statement have been duly authorised for issue, and when issued and paid for in the manner
described in the Documents and in accordance with the Resolutions, such Ordinary Shares will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of British Virgin Islands law,
a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members of the Company. |
| |
4 | Qualifications |
The
opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:
4.1 | We
have not reviewed the Documents save as expressly referred to in paragraph 3.1 of this opinion
and our opinions are qualified accordingly. |
| |
4.2 | We
express no view as to the commercial terms of the Documents or whether such terms represent
the intentions of the parties and we make no comment with respect to any representations
and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents
or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of
the transactions the subject of this opinion. |
4.3 | Under
British Virgin Islands law, the register of members is prima facie evidence of title
to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However,
there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a British Virgin
Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct
legal position. Further, the British Virgin Islands court has the power to order that the
register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the
register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. For the purposes of the
opinion given in paragraph 3.1, there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us
on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application
for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an
application were made in respect of the Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares
may be subject to re-examination by a British Virgin Islands court. |
| |
4.4 | Except
as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and
warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or
instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the
transactions the subject of this opinion. |
| |
4.5 | In
this opinion letter, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the issuance
of shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence
of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation pursuant to the memorandum and articles of
association, to the contrary, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s
assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of
an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which
a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil). |
| |
4.6 | The
search of records of proceedings available at the High Court Registry would not reveal any
proceeding which has been placed under seal or anonymised (whether by order of the Court
or pursuant to the practice of the High Court Registry). |
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading
“Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category
of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the SEC Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
This
opinion is addressed to you and may be relied upon by you, your counsel and purchasers of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
This opinion is limited to the matters detailed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter.
Yours
faithfully

the British Virgin Islands and on which the Registered Agent’s Certificate were prepared

therein represent a complete and accurate record of all meetings of the Members and directors

the case may be. |

to, at the time of, and immediately following execution of the Documents and effectiveness
of the Registration Statement the Company was, or will be, able to pay its debts as they
fell, or fall, due, and the transactions to which the Registration Statement relate will
not cause the Company to become unable to pay its debts as they fall due. The Company has
entered, or will enter, into the Documents for proper value, not with an intention to defraud
or wilfully defeat an obligation owed to any creditor and the transactions contemplated thereby
do not and will not give any creditor an unfair preference. |

14 | To
the best of my knowledge and belief, having made due inquiry, the Company is not the subject

Company has at no time had employees operating within the British Virgin Islands. |
| |
16 | To
the best of my knowledge and belief, having made due inquiry, there are no circumstances
or matters of fact existing which may properly form the basis for an application for an order
for rectification of the register of members of the Company. |
| |
17 | The
Ordinary Shares issued, or to be issued, pursuant to Documents and re-sold by the Selling
Securityholders pursuant to the Registration Statement have been, or will be, duly registered,
and will continue to be registered, in the Company’s register of members. |
| |
18 | The
25,000 Ordinary Shares referred to in the Registration Statement as being sold by Abha Kumar
