NEW YORK, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced that its U.S. operations have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a leading U.S. commercial insurance carrier for a dedicated commercial auto insurance program. The LOI contemplates
The proposed program is incremental to Roadzen's existing
Under the contemplated arrangement, Roadzen's MGA would operate under delegated authority from the carrier to quote, underwrite, and bind commercial auto policies on the carrier's behalf. At full Year 1 utilization, which Roadzen expects to achieve given existing producer demand, the program is anticipated to contribute approximately
Roadzen earns and recognizes MGA commissions and fees as revenues on premiums written through such programs, converting underwriting capacity directly into recurring revenue. The contemplated capacity is backed by Roadzen's established U.S. producer and agent network, which has already identified more than
A defining feature of the program is the integration of Roadzen's drivebuddyAI platform across insured fleets. Vehicles written under the program are expected to be equipped with drivebuddyAI's computer vision and telematics technology for real-time risk management, driver behavior analytics, and continuous fleet monitoring. This embedded AI layer enables proactive loss prevention, sharper underwriting precision, and ongoing portfolio risk surveillance — capabilities that traditional commercial auto insurance programs lack.
Rohan Malhotra, Founder & CEO of Roadzen, commented, "Commercial auto insurance in the U.S. is a category where rates have been rising for years, and operators need partners who can help them manage risk rather than just price it. This LOI, paired with our existing capacity and integrated with drivebuddyAI and National Auto Club, allows us to offer carriers and fleets a fully integrated solution — underwriting, distribution, roadside assistance, claims, and AI-driven risk management in one stack."
Malhotra added: "The U.S. is the world's largest commercial auto insurance market and offers the best margins. With committed producer demand already in place, we are looking to grow the U.S. into Roadzen's largest market over the next three years."
Roadzen's technology integrates real-time telematics, computer vision, and predictive risk modeling to enable insurers to underwrite commercial transportation risks with greater precision than legacy methods allow. By combining drivebuddyAI on the vehicle with AI-driven portfolio monitoring at the program level, Roadzen delivers a closed-loop risk system — from individual driver behavior to aggregate fleet performance.
This LOI reinforces Roadzen's strategy of embedding its AI capabilities directly into the insurance value chain — operating not merely as a technology vendor, but as an integrated distribution, underwriting, and program management partner.
