NEW YORK, Sept. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN) ("Roadzen" or the "Company"), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced that it has received binding commitments for INR 40 crores (equivalent to approximately $4.5 million based on current exchange rates) in equity financing for its India subsidiary, at INR 740 crores or $84 million pre-money valuation on a stand-alone basis.

The financing values Roadzen’s Indian subsidiary, which contributes less than 60% of Roadzen’s consolidated revenues, at approximately $84 million pre-money — around 25% above the Company’s current Nasdaq market capitalization. The contemplated dilution to the India subsidiary is approximately 5%, with the parent continuing to own approximately 95% of the India business. The transaction provides growth capital while resulting in no dilution for shareholders in the Nasdaq-listed Parent Company.

Transaction Summary

• Pre-money valuation: $84 million for the India subsidiary.
• Dilution: Approximately 5% at the subsidiary level, with Roadzen continuing to own approximately 95% of the India subsidiary.
• Common equity only; no warrants or preferred rights; pari passu with existing shareholder (Roadzen).
• Zero dilution at the Nasdaq-listed parent company.
• Post-completion of this raise, Roadzen will have raised approximately $9 million this quarter through successive straight equity financings — first backed by its four largest shareholders at the parent level and now further strengthened by the India raise, anchored by leading family offices and institutional investors, both completed at significant premiums to the market cap of the Company.
• The financing attracted strong demand, exceeding initial raise targets.

India is at the center of one of the most compelling global growth stories. The country recently surpassed Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy and is expected to double its GDP over the next decade. It is already the fourth-largest auto market globally with more than 4 million cars sold annually, yet non-life insurance penetration remains just ~1% of GDP. As penetration rises toward 3% (in line with larger economies), alongside a doubling of GDP and the car park, the auto insurance market could expand eight times over the coming decade — representing an incredible growth opportunity in an industry increasingly shaped by AI and technology-driven innovation. New regulations such as AIS-184, are expected to further accelerate adoption of advanced driver safety systems, where Roadzen’s DrivebuddyAI is the only validated solution positioned to serve more than 1 million new commercial vehicles annually, underscoring Roadzen’s leadership in applying AI at scale to real-world mobility challenges.

Rohan Malhotra, Founder and CEO of Roadzen, commented, “India is an incredible growth story for Roadzen, and this raise sets a clear, independent benchmark for one of our most important markets. Our listed peers in both India and the U.S. trade at 6–18x forward sales multiples, yet our parent company does not trade anywhere close to the intrinsic value of the business. We have raised $4.5 million at the parent level over the summer and now have commitments of an additional $4.5 million at the India subsidiary — showing strong institutional support for the business, with these capital raises coming at a premium to the stock price of the Nasdaq-listed parent. The India subsidiary’s valuation alone implies a benchmark of more than $2 per share for the global business, at which level we believe it still remains significantly undervalued compared to its peers.”

Mr. Malhotra continued, “The participation of several marquee institutional investors underscores the conviction in our growth trajectory and AI leadership. These financings put us on a very strong footing for the quarters ahead. We encourage investors to track our progress closely — we believe the business is poised for significant growth, supported by a world-class shareholder base. Finally, I want to emphasize that we remain sensitive to dilution at current levels and are committed to protecting and enhancing shareholder value as we continue to unlock the intrinsic value of Roadzen.”

N. Jayakumar, Managing Director & Group CEO of Prime Securities Limited, added, “This transaction validates both the intrinsic value of Roadzen’s India operations and the institutional confidence in the Company’s leadership and execution. The Indian market continues to offer superior valuations for high-growth AI businesses, and Roadzen is exceptionally well-positioned to continue to capitalize on this dynamic.”

The gross proceeds to the India subsidiary from the financing are approximately INR 40 crores (~$4.5 million). The financing is expected to close on or about September 15, 2025. Prime Securities Limited is acting as the exclusive Investment Bank in connection with the offering.
