I am Praful Jethva from Optima Instruments, based in Vadodara, Gujarat. We specialise in scientific laboratory instruments, industrial and process control instruments, liquid analysers, and gas monitoring systems.
For over 14 years, we have been associated with IndiaMART, and around 30% to 40% of our business is generated through the platform. Early on, we realised that direct marketing was not sufficient to reach customers across India and global markets. IndiaMART provided the scale, visibility, and reach for our industrial B2B offerings. We began with basic plans in 2012, and as enquiries started converting into orders, we upgraded to premium offerings such as Leader, Preferred STAR, TrustSeal, and Maximiser. This has significantly enhanced our lead generation and conversion rates. IndiaMART proved to be a reliable platform for generating genuine enquiries and expanding market reach.

Decades of Trust, Driven by InnovAltion


Our journey began in 1996 with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring businesses online and make commerce more accessible. At a time when digital adoption was still nascent, we recognised the immense potential of technology to transform the way businesses operate. What started as an online directory has steadily evolved into India's largest B2B marketplace, empowering millions of buyers and suppliers across industries and geographies.
For nearly three decades, trust has remained the cornerstone of our journey. In India, commerce has always been built on relationships and credibility, and we have continuously worked to strengthen that trust through consistency, transparency, and meaningful value creation. Today, the confidence in our platform is reflected in the scale and depth of engagement across our ecosystem, spanning crores of buyers and suppliers, a strong base of repeat buyers, and enduring relationships with our supplier community.
Alongside trust, innovation has consistently shaped our evolution. Over the years, we have introduced several initiatives designed to strengthen discovery, improve credibility, and create superior experiences for businesses. Solutions such as TrustSEAL certification
AS WE MOVE FORWARD, OUR VISION REMAINS UNCHANGED: TO EMPOWER BUSINESSES WITH TRUST AND PURPOSEFUL INNOVATION, SHAPING THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL COMMERCE IN INDIA'S ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM.
enhanced confidence and authenticity across the marketplace, while Buy Leads (RFQs) enabled more targeted business opportunities. Preferred Number Service (PNS) and several digital engagement tools simplified communication and strengthened customer interactions. As technology evolved from desktop to mobile and now to intelligent digital experiences, IndiaMART continued to adapt and innovate, ensuring that our platform remained relevant and valuable for users.
Today, we stand at the beginning of another transformational phase. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating unprecedented opportunities to reimagine how businesses discover, connect, and grow. We believe AI will drive the next phase of innovation, enabling smarter search, more contextual recommendations, intelligent matchmaking, in turn, making doing business easy and seamless.

MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO'S MESSAGE

At IndiaMART, we are embracing the next wave of technological innovations and are moving towards an AI-driven ecosystem.
Dear Shareholders,
TRUSTED B2B DISCOVERY, RESILIENT VALUE-DRIVEN GROWTH
At IndiaMART, we are committed to making sourcing of B2B products simple, reliable, and transparent. In the current financial year alone, we proudly served 41 Mn active buyers across virtually every pincode in India. From essential raw materials and components to heavy industrial machinery and finished goods, we streamline the procurement process, seamlessly connecting buyers with trusted suppliers.
During FY 2025-26, our consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹ 15,690 Mn, registering a strong growth of 13% year-over-year. This top-line performance was complemented by healthy profitability, with Profit After Tax (PAT) reaching ₹ 4,747 Mn, with margins of 27%, and generating a robust operating cash flow of ₹ 6,942 Mn.
Beyond the headline numbers, the underlying health of our business is evident in the quality of our subscriber base. Our Platinum and Gold customers continue to demonstrate strong retention rates, alongside a consistent propensity for upselling.
Our 100% owned subsidiary, Busy Infotech, also maintained its strong growth trajectory throughout the year. Driven by robust sales execution and targeted product enhancements, Busy achieved 81% revenue growth, closing the year at ₹ 1,191 Mn. With total licenses sold increasing to 442k, this performance further solidifies its position as a preferred accounting and billing software solution within the SME ecosystem.
AGILE TECH, SOLID FOUNDATION
In FY 2025-26, we continued to strengthen our role as a growth partner for India's MSME ecosystem. Building upon the robust foundation of over three decades of proprietary user behavioral data, we took significant steps to elevate our technological capabilities. By embedding deeper AI-led enhancements across key areas throughout our marketplace, we significantly improved our ability to map and match user intent. These advanced AI capabilities have allowed us to refine our existing ecosystem, making discovery on IndiaMART increasingly predictive, accurate, and seamless. This agile, continuous evolution ensures that every interaction translates into meaningful business opportunities driving greater efficiency and unlocking tangible value for the millions of businesses that rely on us every day.
CUSTOMER CENTRIC GROWTH
At IndiaMART, our priority remains firmly centred on our customers, with a continued focus on enhancing overall platform quality through targeted strategic interventions. Last year, we focussed on initiatives, such as improving the quality of business enquiries by capturing enriched specifications, better geographical alignment between buyers and sellers, moderation in the number of seller introductions for each buyer enquiry which resulted in higher quality engagements, better conversions and improved seller sentiment across the platform. Along with better quality buyleads, we are also working to increase enquiry volumes through various channels including targeted marketing spend.
To further streamline the supplier journey and empower new sellers from day one, we have successfully integrated instant onboarding capabilities into our sales process. This ensures rapid service activation for businesses joining our platform and new sellers move from intent to active participation with zero latency. Along with an improved onboarding experience, we are leveraging performance and creator affiliate marketing to drive buyer demand, ensuring that suppliers have access to a continuously growing, high-intent customer base.
During the year, we also introduced several new features aimed at building a trusted platform. We implemented a robust Know Your Seller feature for buyers to instantly verify sellers and ensure greater transparency. These trust layers, alongside TrustSEAL verification, are intended to help improve transaction confidence and support steady buyer engagement across the marketplace.
We will continue to build on enhancing trust through validation of supplier credentials like GST, PAN, Bank details, and Udhyam registration, along with prominently displaying supplier ratings and reviews. As a result of these continuous optimisations, we are pleased to report that both buyer engagement and seller satisfaction are on an improving trajectory.
HARNESSING NEXT-GENERATION AI
At IndiaMART, we are embracing the next wave of technological innovations and are moving towards an AI-driven ecosystem. A major milestone during the year has been the deployment of AI-led capabilities to address the complexity of managing 98,000 product categories, becoming the gold standard for B2B discovery.

Al and the vast volume of buyer‐seller interaction data generated daily on our platform, product specifications across all categories have been standardised and in the process we built a proprietary taxonomy that is unparalleled in the B2B space. This industry‐leading cataloging intelligence is now operating at scale on our platform, enabling us to move beyond general marketplace dynamics and deliver highly precise search and matchmaking results.
We are revolutionising how buyers interact with our platform and have invested in advanced conversational capabilities.

Internally, we are equipping our engineering teams with a suite of AI‐powered tools, which increase productivity and significantly accelerate our time‐to‐market for new feature deployments. We are not just adopting AI, we are weaving it into our DNA which will shape our growth story.
Evolving into a comprehensive business ecosystem
Our evolution from a discovery‐led platform to an integrated business enablement ecosystem is guided by a singular focus on ‘Make doing business easy'. With nearly three decades of experience in the domestic MSME market, we are leveraging our institutional insights to expand into high‐synergy adjacencies. Our investments in areas such as accounting, logistics, and fintech and business enablement platforms reflect a calibrated approach to strengthening the broader MSME technology ecosystem, while also diversifying our capabilities. Through these initiatives, we aim to support the essential digital infrastructure that MSMEs require to operate and scale in an increasingly digital‐first economy.
Formal accounting has become an indispensable requirement for MSMEs, and our subsidiary, BUSY Infotech, remains a primary pillar of this mission. Over the past few years, BUSY has successfully transitioned to an agile, subscription‐centric growth model, achieving a robust compound annual growth rate of 35% in topline over the last 4 years. The period was also defined by continuous product evolution, advancements in data security, supported specialised tools for payment and inventory synchronisation and expanded cloud‐hosted ecosystem. In a major push for digital mobility, we revamped our mobile platform with a modernised UI and real‐time access to business reports.
These initiatives have strengthened BUSY's product offering ecosystem and solidified its position as a leader in the accounting software domain. Complementing this success is Livekeeping, our advanced SaaS platform designed to elevate the experience of Tally users through seamless mobile and web‐based accounting solutions.
During the year, we further expanded our footprint and made follow‐up investments in IDfy, Fleets, Truckhall and Bizom. We believe that a mission‐aligned ecosystem is the most powerful way to drive long‐term value.
Driving people‐centric growth

Through our ‘Elevate' programme, we are systematically identifying and preparing high‐potential employees for accelerated career advancement and larger organisational responsibilities. Complementing this focus, we continue to have a successful partnership with the prestigious Faculty of Management Studies for an Emerging Leadership development programme.
To further this commitment, we launched the IndiaMART Founders Club, an in‐house Leadership Development Programme tailored for our high potential talent. This initiative serves as a Strategic Growth Pathway, designed to master the core skills of senior leadership through experiential Learning.
Furthermore, as we aggressively integrate Artificial Intelligence across our ecosystem, building an AI‐ready workforce has become a critical organisational priority. Periodic AI Hackathons were hosted during the year to challenge our teams and promote creative, tech‐driven solutions for real‐world business complexities.
This culture of continuous learning is further reinforced by our iLEAP initiatives and Product Hives, ensuring our teams remain at the cutting‐edge of industry trends and internal platform innovations. By investing deeply in this upskilling ecosystem, we are building a resilient, future‐ready team that remains singularly focussed on our mission: making doing business easy for millions.
Sustainable social impact
Building a purpose‐led business that creates enduring value for the broader community remains a cornerstone of our identity. Our ‘Childhood to Livelihood' intervention is guided by the holistic vision that bridges the gap between early education and professional‐readiness. This year, we significantly expanded our Infrastructure Development Projects, modernising schools and colleges to reach 11,000+ children in Bahrain district in Uttar Pradesh and MM Hills in Karnataka. These are strategic investments in the academic and professional dreams of the next generation, providing the physical foundation necessary for excellence.
We are committed to fostering an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age and our collaboration with Udhyam Learning Foundation, has reached 145,000+ students across 900+ schools in Delhi. Our partnership with Khan Academy for STEM education and to develop native language digital learning content has impacted and improved the lives of 97,000+ students.
By focussing on the intersections of infrastructure, technology, and skill development, we are ensuring that our social impact is both inclusive and scalable. Every classroom we upgrade and every student we empower marks a crucial step toward building a more equitable, capable, and self‐reliant nation.
Accelerating forward
As we look ahead, our strategic direction is guided by a steadfast vision of building and supporting an integrated B2B business ecosystem, while developing structural‐readiness for an era defined by the rapid scaling of Artificial Intelligence. We remain aware of broader macroeconomic and geopolitical shifts and uncertainties and at the same time, we are confident in our ability to accelerate forward, backed by three decades of market intelligence, through continuous innovation and our enduring commitment to eliminating traditional barriers to growth for MSMEs.

IMPROVED MARKET ACCESS AND COST EFFICIENCY
My name is Vishal, and I run a farming business at Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh. In the early days, sourcing essential inputs like fertilisers, seeds, and medicines was a major challenge. We had limited supplier options locally and often had to travel to cities like Delhi or Mumbai, which increased both time and cost. Since discovering IndiaMART, everything has changed.
I can now access a wide range of products easily within my town and nearby villages. The platform has helped me connect with suppliers across India, ensuring better quality and competitive pricing, making my operations more efficient and cost-effective. IndiaMART has truly simplified procurement and made farming more manageable.

BETTER MARGINS THROUGH SMART SOURCING
My name is Nikhil, and I run a men's garments business in Chandigarh, dealing in a wide range of apparel and accessories. When I started, I struggled to find the right products and reliable suppliers. Pricing was high, and margins were extremely limited.
After I began sourcing materials through IndiaMART, my business witnessed a significant turnaround. The platform provided access to a diverse range of quality products that were otherwise difficult to find. Over the past 7-8 years, IndiaMART has helped me streamline sourcing and improve margins and profitability.

ENABLING GROWTH THROUGH DIGITAL REACH
I am Dhairya Joshi, a second-generation entrepreneur at Remedy Labs, a company established nearly four decades ago by my father. We manufacture a diverse range of APIs, intermediates, and customised products, and export to over seven to eight countries. We have been associated with IndiaMART for nearly 20 years. Starting with a basic package, we gradually scaled up our engagement as we began to see strong results.
Our presence on the platform, supported by premium offerings such as Maximizer and IM Star, has significantly enhanced our market visibility and customer reach. The platform has expanded our global footprint and revenue growth. Given India's vast market potential and IndiaMART's strong brand credibility, I would highly recommend it to other businesses.

EXPANDING REACH AND GROWTH
My name is Chirag Anand Ray Shah, and I run Abhyudaya Trading Company based in Masjid Bunder, Mumbai. I began my journey in ball bearings, leveraging my technical knowledge and two decades of industry experience. However, in the early years, finding the right customers and expanding beyond local markets were significant challenges.
I have been associated with IndiaMART for nearly 14–15 years. Initially, the results were gradual, but after upgrading to a higher package, the response improved significantly. Today, the platform generates around 150 leads per month. IndiaMART has transformed my business from a local operation into a multi-state presence. It contributes nearly ₹ 1 crore to the annual business, providing infinite growth opportunities.

ENABLING SCALE THROUGH COST EFFICIENCY
I am Avinash Kumar Singh, Managing Director of Fusion Plastomet in Lucknow, where we manufacture roofing sheets and household plastics. Building this business required significant capital and access to the right suppliers, which was a major challenge in the early stages.
I have been using IndiaMART for the past eight years. My initial purchases included raw materials, such as masterbatch colour, followed by machinery like grinding equipment. What stood out was the availability of multiple suppliers and competitive pricing on a single platform, which made sourcing very efficient. This has significantly improved the cost structure and supported the growth of my business.

UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITIES IN SMALLER CITIES
I am Muhammad Javed, owner of The Crescent Global Company in Meerut, offering laser cutting, fabrication, and customised industrial solutions. Operating in a small city posed several challenges, such as limited access to specialised materials and technologies.
My experience with IndiaMART has been excellent. The platform enabled me to access a wide variety of products, connect with suppliers offering the latest technologies, and source materials that were previously unavailable in the local market. IndiaMART has enabled me to get access to diversified products, latest technology and specialised materials from quality sellers equivalent to metro cities. It has helped me to make better sourcing decisions and expand business opportunities. Today, I can rely on verified suppliers, competitive pricing, and a broader range of options. In an increasingly competitive environment, smart sourcing has become essential, and IndiaMART has made that possible.

Management Discussion and Analysis
ECONOMY OVERVIEW
Global economic growth is expected to remain resilient at 3.4% in 2025, this macroeconomic stability is fundamentally anchored by robust, technology-led capital allocation, most notably in artificial intelligence, alongside supportive fiscal and monetary frameworks.
Advanced economies are navigating a complex environment, weighed down by tight financial conditions, elevated public debt, and structural weaknesses. In contrast, developing economies are acting as the primary engines of this global expansion fuelled by strong domestic demand, scaled infrastructure investments, and favourable policy environments. Regions such as Southeast Asia and India are providing the critical momentum required to sustain the broader global economic outlook.

E- Estimates, P- Projections
India continues to demonstrate resilience amid global macroeconomic instability and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Real GDP is projected at 7.6% in FY 2025-26, reaffirming India's position as the fastest-growing major economy. Robust demand, sustained infrastructure development, favourable policy reforms, and strong consumer and business sentiments were the fundamental drivers of growth. Government initiatives, such as Make in India, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, etc., continue to promote development, capacity building, and self-reliance, helping India navigate external uncertainties.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW²
MSME Sector Overview
The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector remains the backbone of India's economic progress, supporting innovation, generating employment, and boosting exports.
Leveraging regional resources and catering to local market needs, MSMEs serve as both an economic growth engine and a social stabiliser. Contributing nearly one-third to India's GDP, the MSME sector continues to be a critical pillar of the government's flagship 'Make in India' initiative.
With over 79 Mn enterprises employing over 328 Mn persons, the sector continues to remain the second-largest employer after agriculture.

Government Initiatives for MSMEs
The government has taken several measures to support the growth and development of MSMEs. Key initiatives include:
-
Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan and Digital India Campaign drive the sector's modernisation by enhancing domestic manufacturing and global competitiveness. These initiatives provide MSMEs with expanded credit access, capacity-building programmes, and digital tools, including e-marketplaces and skill development to facilitate a seamless transition into the digital economy.
-
GST Reforms and Udyam Registration Portal have further formalised the sector by simplifying the regulatory landscape. GST unified indirect taxes to improve supply chain transparency and operational efficiency, while the paperless Udyam portal (including the 2023 Udyam Assist Platform) streamlines onboarding. Together, they reduce compliance burdens and ensure micro-enterprises can easily access Priority Sector Lending (PSL) and other policy benefits.
Furthermore, the recent GST rate cuts, specifically the migration of essential and durable goods into lower tax brackets, are expected to trigger a consumption boost by lowering end-user prices and increasing disposable income. Along with it, the recent revision in classification of MSME thresholds by increasing investment limits and turnover caps, marks a significant shift toward an expansion-first business environment.
The policy encourages businesses to invest more aggressively in technology, infrastructure, and high-value services and this move is expected to transform the MSME segment from a collection of small units into a high-growth, formalised sector with greater purchasing power and a stronger appetite for professional business services.

Digital Adoption in India
India's digital adoption has witnessed exponential growth in recent years. India's internet user base is approaching 958 Mn Active Internet Users (AIUs) in 2025. This represents an 8% %YF growth, reinforcing India's position as one of the world's largest and fastest-growing digital markets. Rising artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, short-form video consumption, and e-commerce growth continue to drive India's digital transformation, reshaping consumer behavior and business engagement models across sectors.
AI adoption in marketing, retail, and e-commerce is among the fastest-growing segments with nearly 44% of active internet users engaging with AI-enabled features such as voice search, image-based search, chatbots, and AI filters. Businesses are also increasingly adopting and deploying features such as Agentic AI, hyper-personalisation, conversational commerce, and predictive analytics, changing how they navigate across the digital landscape.
The digital revolution has ushered in a new phase of expansion for MSMEs. E-commerce platforms, digital payments, and online marketing tools have enabled small businesses to expand their reach, improve customer engagement, and compete in the global marketplace. The Digital India initiative has accelerated the digital transformation of small firms, facilitating online registrations, access to credit, and e-governance services. Key platforms and services, such as UPI, Aadhaar, DigiLocker, E-Invoicing, E-way Bill, TReDS, ONDC, OCEN, and the Digital MSME Scheme have significantly reduced complexities in business processes, improved access to credit, and opened new digital avenues.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
IndiaMART is India's largest online B2B marketplace, empowering businesses with digital tools and technologies for their sustained growth. We ensure seamless connections between buyers and suppliers, helping businesses expand their reach, connect with potential customers, and maximise their revenue potential. Our platform facilitates efficient matchmaking between buyers and sellers for discovery of goods and services, supporting businesses across diverse industries.

At the heart of IndiaMART is a data-driven matchmaking engine designed to create efficient business connections. By analysing product specifications, pricing, location, and quantity, our algorithms automatically pair buyers with the most relevant suppliers. These systems learn from every interaction, constantly improving the accuracy of our recommendations.
Turning Scale into Business Success
We have unified our marketplace scale and data intelligence into a single, high-performing ecosystem:
Market Leadership and Scale
As of March 31, 2026, IndiaMART's network comprised 230 Mn registered buyers and 8.7 Mn registered suppliers, including 220K paying suppliers. With an extensive supplier base, the platform features 129 Mn products across 98,000 categories and 57 industries. During FY 2025-26, IndiaMART recorded 114 Mn unique business enquiries. This scale makes IndiaMART the leading B2B classifieds destination in India and provides the deep behavioral data needed to power our algorithms.
Precision Matchmaking
We convert buyer interest into real business opportunities through RFQ (Request for Quote) exchange. By matching specific buyer requirements with proprietary seller behavioral data, we ensure that every lead is high-quality and aligned with what the supplier actually offers. This precision significantly improves conversion rates for our users.

Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Indiamart
IndiaMART InterMESH Limited

The synergy between our large user base and our intelligence layer creates a powerful feedback loop. The vast amount of data generated by our network allows us to refine our matchmaking process continuously. As a result, the platform becomes smarter with every transaction - driving better engagement, higher-quality leads, and more successful outcomes for businesses across India.
Technology & AI Strategy
At IndiaMART, technology is not merely an enabler; it is a core pillar of our long-term growth strategy. Staying true to our roots as early AI pioneers, we are incorporating next-gen intelligence at our core to build an ecosystem tailored for MSMEs. Our focus is to lead the charge in driving AI adoption across this segment. By harnessing Generative AI and Agentic workflows, we are now deeply understanding buyer intent, enabling seamless product discovery, and creating a frictionless and secure environment for millions of users. Furthermore, we are systematically optimising our massive repository of proprietary B2B data for the next generation of AI-driven search and LLM citations.
To strengthen our value proposition and operational efficiency, we have successfully deployed several high-impact AI initiatives to deliver on these objectives:
1. Deeply Understanding Buyer Intent
- Conversational Commerce: We are pioneering "voice-first" commerce through our proprietary voice-automation AI. Utilising Natural Language Processing to understand regional dialects, Voice AI currently acts as an advanced category expert. It autonomously manages nearly 1 lakh calls per day across multiple languages, removing literacy barriers and making the platform highly accessible to all demographics.
Intelligent Lead Management & Matchmaking: Our core matchmaking engine utilises behavior-driven algorithms that continuously refine themselves to connect buyers and suppliers based on precise product attributes, pricing, and location. Within our Lead Manager, AI-powered Smart
Replies evaluate buyer enquiries and generate context-aware responses. This drastically reduces supplier response times and significantly improves conversion outcomes.
2. Seamless Product Discovery
Structured Knowledge Engine: We have deployed advanced AI models to standardise, categorise, and enrich product specifications across our 98,000 categories. By utilising Agentic Categorisation, we have established an intelligent taxonomy that acts as a foundational pillar for content quality.
- Search: Our AI-powered search engine is capable of seamlessly parsing informal and 'Hinglish' queries, this translates to unparalleled search precision, enabling richer, more discoverable listings and a standardised data layer that makes finding the right products effortless.
3. Creating a Secure Environment
- Marketplace Sentinel: Maintaining a safe and trusted ecosystem is paramount. We utilise AI to proactively detect personally identifiable information (PII), identify spam, and block restricted content in real-time. This maintains marketplace integrity and ensures a safe, compliant environment for all users to trade with confidence.
- Engineering Agility: To keep our ecosystem continuously evolving, we have equipped our product and engineering teams with a suite of AI coding tools, significantly accelerating our agility and reducing new feature deployment timelines to just a couple of days.
Revenue and Paying Suppliers
While the platform is free to join and majority of suppliers on the platform incur no registration fees on joining, the Company's revenues are primarily driven by subscription-based offerings availed by over 220K paying suppliers as of March 31, 2026. Most suppliers begin with the Silver subscription tier and progressively upgrade to Gold and Platinum packages, which provide enhanced visibility, priority listing, and access to a higher volume of RFQs (Buy-Leads), resulting in increased business enquiries. Suppliers opting for export-oriented Platinum packages also gain access to international RFQs, expanding their global reach.
Upgrades to premium tiers positively impact both Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and supplier retention. The Company observes materially higher retention rates in Gold and Platinum subscriptions compared to Silver, strengthening revenue stability and lifetime value. Additionally, category-based differential pricing for Platinum packages creates an incremental lever to optimise ARPU.

Subscription Packages
All subscription packages are offered on an annual or multi-year basis, with the Silver tier also available as a monthly plan. Subscription fees are collected upfront, irrespective of tenure. Revenue is recognised over the subscription period, in line with applicable accounting standards. The unearned portion is recorded as Deferred Revenue under 'Contract Liability' in the Balance Sheet.
As of March 31, 2026, Standalone Deferred Revenue stood at € 18,318 Mn, providing strong revenue visibility and enhancing business predictability.

Paying Suppliers
Suppliers in the Gold and Platinum tiers account for approximately $50\%$ of our paying supplier base and contribute nearly $75\%$ of our operating revenues. During the year, overall ARPU grew by $8\%$ and ARPU of top $10\%$ suppliers grew by $11\%$ YoY.
Our Gold and Platinum paying suppliers continue to show good retention and upsell rates while we continue to work on improving the quality of supplier engagement on our platform. Additionally, we are recalibrating our acquisition strategy with a sharper focus on quality onboarding, improved supplier support, and sustainable customer cohorts. Supplier journey has been streamlined by integrating instant onboarding into our sales processes, thus enabling new sellers to transition seamlessly from intent to active participation.
We are also enhancing the quality and relevance of buyer enquiries by optimising the search and RFQ journey to capture enriched product specifications and precise needs. Localised matchmaking is prioritised to improve lead accuracy and number of suppliers introduced per buyer enquiry is reduced to improve conversion outcomes.
With enhanced quality due to the product and AI interventions, we are also working on repeat rate of buyer and inorganic growth of buyer enquiries via google ads and affiliates. By systematically enhancing the value proposition for our current sellers, we are fostering deeper engagement within the IndiaMART ecosystem while supporting their business growth. As these initiatives continue to scale, we expect a measured and disciplined increase in digital advertising investments going forward.
We remain committed to building a secure and trusted marketplace through a multilayer seller verification process. Furthermore, we prominently display supplier ratings and reviews, providing the transparency buyers need to make confident, informed decisions. We implemented a robust Verify Seller feature for buyers to further enhance trust. These initiatives ensure greater transparency and transaction confidence across the platform, driving steady improvements in both buyer engagement and overall seller satisfaction.

Sales and Servicing Network
IndiaMART's nationwide sales and servicing network remains pivotal for seamless supplier onboarding and long-term customer success. The team comprises in-house sales professionals and channel partners who engage with suppliers through both in-person meetings and tele-calling. Our sales engine focuses on acquiring and converting free suppliers into paying subscribers, supported by dynamic data allocation, activity-based lead generation, and a mobile ERP system. Additionally, an elaborate supplier verification, on-boarding and training process ensures that new suppliers are on-boarded with the right expectations.
Post-acquisition, a structured onboarding framework ensures new suppliers are fully aligned with platform capabilities. From there, our dedicated servicing team manages the entire customer lifecycle – providing training, resolving queries, and driving both subscription renewals and premium upgrades and ensuring that suppliers derive optimal value from the platform. To ensure consistent and scalable customer handling, we utilise an AI-driven email automation assistant that understands context and manages end-to-end communication, reducing manual effort and response times. Regular customer interactions and event-based engagements further strengthen customer relationships.
During the year, we expanded our workforce to 5,376 sales and service personnel. Supported by strategic partnerships with nearly 100 channel partner locations, we now seamlessly serve customers in over 1,000 cities across India. By decentralising our regional leadership and integrating advanced automation, we are building a resilient, highly efficient network that enhances the supplier experience and sustains long-term platform growth.
Growth Strategy
We are strategically evolving from a discovery-led platform into a comprehensive, trust-based business enablement ecosystem. This strategic transition is being driven through five key pillars:
- Twin-led growth model: We are focussed on driving net additions to expand our foundational supplier network, while actively migrating more partners into high-value Gold and Platinum tiers to maximise platform monetisation.
Premium monetisation expansion: Intensifying our focus on category-based differential pricing and providing dedicated service for our premier customers, we are unlocking significant potential for ARPU expansion and developing new revenue streams. - Trusted ecosystem: Embedding trust layers that provide distinct value to both ends of the marketplace. By mandating KYC measures, through validation of essential credentials like GST, PAN, Bank details, and Udhyam registration, we actively mitigate risk and prevent misconduct.
- AI-Driven Platform Evolution: We are embedding AI and agentic workflows across lead management, communication, and product cataloguing to eliminate friction and standardise quality at scale.
- Integrated ecosystem: Supporting enterprises in space of accounting, credit and logistics solutions to become a one-stop solution for MSMEs.
Together, these initiatives strengthen the core elements of trust, engagement, and retention - positioning IndiaMART for sustained, scalable growth.

ACCOUNTING SOLUTIONS
India's accounting software segment is witnessing accelerated growth, driven by increasing formalisation of the economy and rising compliance requirements for MSMEs.

Indian business owners are seeking mobile-first, intuitive, and real-time solutions that offer actionable insights, reshaping the accounting software landscape and creating long-term structural demand.
Recognising this opportunity, IndiaMART has strategically expanded its presence in the accounting technology space through the acquisitions of Busy Infotech and Livekeeping Technologies, along with investments in Simply Vyapar Apps and Realbooks.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Corporate Governance | Risk | Inadequate corporate governance may expose an organisation to significant operational and strategic risks. Such gaps can result in unethical practices, inefficient allocation and oversight of resources, regulatory and legal non-compliance, and potential erosion of stakeholder trust. Over time, these factors can adversely impact the organisation's reputation, financial performance and long-term sustainability. | IndiaMART has instituted a comprehensive policy framework to foster ethical conduct across all levels of the organisation and to ensure adherence to applicable laws and regulatory requirements. To strengthen transparency and accountability, the Company has established a confidential whistleblower mechanism that enables stakeholders to report concerns without fear of retaliation. | Negative |

Collectively, these elements contribute to the Company's long-term resilience, value creation and sustainable growth. | All Board-approved policies are publicly accessible on the Company's website at https://investor.indiamart.com/company-information/corporate-governance in multiple languages. These policies are also communicated internally and made readily available to employees through the Company's intranet ensuring organisation-wide awareness and accessibility. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Privacy and Data Security | Risk | Inadequate prevention, detection and mitigation of data security risks including vulnerabilities related to data protection, storage and potential leakage may materially impact stakeholder trust and organisational reputation. Such lapses could, in turn, adversely affect customer acquisition, retention and overall business continuity. | IndiaMART has implemented a comprehensive information security framework designed to protect organisational data from unauthorised access, cyber threats and potential breaches. The Company's commitment to global data protection standards is evidenced by its certification to ISO 27001 for Information Security Management Systems and ISO 27701:2019 for Privacy Information Management. | Negative |
| Opportunity | Robust data protection controls, transparent privacy frameworks and responsible data governance practices enhance stakeholder trust and confidence. This, in turn, supports customer acquisition and retention, safeguards brand reputation and strengthens the Company's competitive positioning in the marketplace. | In addition, the Company maintains the following internationally recognised certifications, further strengthening its governance and operational resilience framework: • ISO 31000:2018- Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) • ISO 22301:2019- Business Continuity and Management System (BCMS) • ISO 27001- Information Security Management System (ISMS) • ISO 27701- Privacy Information Management (PIMS) • ISO 12207- Management System for System and Software Engineering Process • ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018- IT Service Management System The aforesaid certifications were placed before the Risk Management Committee for review and update. An update on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDPA") was also placed before the Committee, covering key obligations, applicability, compliance status, way forward and penalties. | |||
| 3 | Diversity and Inclusion | Risk | Workplace discrimination, limited diversity and an absence of an inclusive culture may expose the organisation to legal and regulatory risks challenges in attracting and retaining talent and reputational concerns. Such shortcomings can also constrain diversity of thought and perspective, thereby impeding innovation, employee engagement and morale, as well as the organisation's overall agility and capacity to adapt in a dynamic business environment. | The Company is committed to implementing robust policies and procedures that promote equal opportunity, prevent discrimination and ensure fair and equitable treatment of all employees, irrespective of their background, identity or personal characteristics. These frameworks are periodically reviewed and updated to remain aligned with evolving best practices and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. To ensure organisation-wide accessibility and awareness, the policies are made available in multiple languages. | Positive |
| Opportunity | Diversity and inclusion, while distinct in principle, are intrinsically interconnected in practice. The Company recognises that a diverse workforce brings varied perspectives and experiences, enabling more balanced, well-evaluated and effective decision-making that supports organisational success. Diversity reflects the composition of the workforce, whereas inclusion emphasises creating an environment in which individuals from diverse backgrounds are valued, respected and encouraged to contribute meaningfully.

| 4 | Talent Management | Risk | Ineffective talent management practices may limit workforce diversity, constrain innovation and expose the organisation to potential reputational risks. A failure to strategically attract, develop and retain talent can weaken the high-performance culture necessary to sustain competitive advantage. Moreover, insufficient recognition of the strategic importance of human capital within the overall cost structure may result in operational inefficiencies and adversely impact the Company's long-term financial performance and sustainable growth. | IndiaMART follows a structured and systematic approach to talent acquisition, leveraging multiple channels such as campus recruitment, participation in job fairs, employee referral programmes, periodic living drives and collaborations with external partners to attract skilled professionals. The Company also places strong emphasis on employee development and retention through targeted career progression initiatives, including the grant of ESOPs/SARs and continuous upskilling aligned with evolving technological advancements and industry trends under the flagship programmes such as Skill Builders, Tech learning sessions, Product meets, IM Reedy, Specialised trainings AI/Cloud and modern development frameworks, AI-focused forums, Hackathons, Future Leaders Programme (in collaboration with FMS). This sustained focus on employee engagement and growth is reflected in the long tenure of its workforce, with over 912 employees having been associated with the Company for more than five years. | Negative |
| Opportunity | In an increasingly dynamic business environment, the Company acknowledges the critical value of its human capital and places strong emphasis on both retaining existing talent and attracting skilled professionals to support scalable growth. This strategic focus enhances productivity, strengthens a high-performance culture and underpins sustained competitive advantage as operations expand. The Company also recognises that employees represent a significant component of its cost structure and therefore adopts a balanced approach that aligns workforce investments with long-term value creation and organisational success. | IndianaMART is committed to creating shared value through initiatives that advance economic development, education and environmental stewardship.

Further, by promoting price transparency and empowering buyers in smaller cities with informed decision-making tools, the Company supports fairer market practices and enhances the overall value derived from their investments, thereby contributing to inclusive and sustainable economic progress. | Positive | ||
| 5 | Community Development | Risk | Failure to adequately address community needs, mitigate environmental and social impacts, and engage meaningfully with stakeholders may expose the organisation to significant strategic and reputational risks.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of IndiaMART InterMESH Limited
Report On The Audit Of The Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the standalone financial statements of IndiaMART InterMESH Limited (the "Company") which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2026, and its profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition - Web Services
See Note 2.3(c) and 19 to standalone financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The Company generates revenue primarily from web services and follows a prepaid model for its business. | In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: |
| Revenue from web services is recognised over the period of the contract as and when the Company satisfies performance obligations by actually rendering the promised services to its customers. | i. We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policy and its compliance with applicable accounting standards. |
| These services are delivered using IT systems which manage very high volume on daily basis and generate reports from which the Company recognises revenue, and hence there is inherent risk around the existence and accuracy of revenue recognition. | ii. We evaluated the design and implementation of key internal financial controls and operating effectiveness of the relevant key controls with respect to existence and accuracy of revenue recognition on selected transactions. |
| We have identified revenue recognition from web services as a key audit matter because of the significance of web services revenue to the financial statements and its recognition based on high volume of data generated by internal IT systems. | iii. We, with the involvement of IT specialists, evaluated the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of management's general IT controls and key application controls over the Company's IT systems which govern revenue recognition, including access controls, controls over program changes and interfaces between different systems. |
| iv. We selected a sample of transactions using statistical sampling and performed tests of details including reading the contract; identifying performance obligation and its link with actual rendition to assess whether the criteria for revenue recognition are met. | |
| v. We tested completeness and accuracy of web services revenue and collection from underlying relevant source documents generated by IT systems with underlying accounting records. | |
| vi. We assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the standalone financial statements. |
Valuation of investments in subsidiaries, associates and other entities
See Note 7 and 8 to standalone financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The Company has significant investments in subsidiaries, associates and other entities amounting to INR 7,270.02 Million, INR 4,222.62 Million and INR 3,243.19 Million respectively, as at 31 March 2026. | In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: |
| Management keeps track of all investments in reference to their financial performance. In addition, management also performs: | i. We evaluated the design and implementation and also tested the operating effectiveness of key internal financial controls implemented by the Company in relation to the valuation of investments in subsidiaries, associates and other entities. |
| i. Review of indicators of impairment (if any) on investments in subsidiaries and associates at regular intervals and performs impairment testing if any indicators are noted. | ii. We evaluated the Company's valuation methodology applied in determining the fair value ("recoverable amount") in accordance with relevant applicable Ind AS. Further, we also assessed the objectivity and independence of the Company's specialists involved in the valuation process. |
| ii. Fair valuation of investments in other entities which are measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). | iii. We evaluated the appropriateness of assumptions around the key drivers of the cash flow forecasts such as revenue growth rates, discount rates and terminal growth rates. |
| Significant judgements are involved to determine the key assumptions used for the purpose of impairment testing/ fair valuation, such as revenue growth rates, discount rates, terminal growth rates etc. The aforesaid activity of impairment testing/ fair valuation is highly dependent on the assumptions and other inputs considered to carry out such activity. | iv. We also assessed the valuation methodology for recent market transactions and key assumptions adopted in the cash flow forecasts considering current economic scenario, including retrospective reviews to prior year's forecasts against actual results. |
| We have identified valuation of investments in subsidiaries, associates and other entities as key audit matter because of the complexity involved in determination of key assumptions and judgements for the purpose of impairment testing/ fair valuation of respective investments. | v. We engaged valuation specialists to assess the appropriateness of valuation methodology and market driven assumptions used for assessment of the valuation of investments. |
| vi. We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the models. | |
| vii. We assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the standalone financial statements, including disclosures of key assumptions, judgements and sensitivities. |
Other Information
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole
178 | Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Indiamart
IndiaMART InterMESH Limited
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor's Report on the standalone financial statements of IndiaMART InterMESH Limited for the year ended 31 March 2026
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of IndiaMART InterMESH Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2026 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2026, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include 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 the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
1. Corporate Information
IndiaMART Intermesh Limited ("the Company") is a public company domiciled in India and was incorporated on 13 September 1999 under the provisions of the Companies Act applicable in India. The equity shares of the Company are listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India. The Company provides an online B2B marketplace for business products and services. It provides a platform to discover products and services and connect with the suppliers of such products and services. The registered office of the Company is located at 1st Floor, 29-Daryagang, Netaji Subash Marg New Delhi-110002, India.
The standalone financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution passed by Board of Directors on 30 April 2026.
2. Material accounting policies
2.1 Statement of Compliance
The standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as "Ind AS") notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2013 ("the Act") (as amended from time to time).
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest INR million as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
2.2 Basis of preparation
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis as explained in the accounting policies below, except for the following:
- certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value where Ind AS requires a different accounting treatment (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments);
- share-based payments.
- net defined benefit (asset)/liability - Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.
The preparation of these standalone financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas where estimates are significant to the standalone financial statements, or areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are disclosed in Note 3.
2.3 Material accounting policies
The accounting policies, as set out in the following paragraphs of this note, have been consistently applied, to all the periods presented in these standalone financial statements except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy.
a) Current versus non-current classification
Based on the time involved between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash-equivalents, the Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle for determining current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.
b) Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments, such as Investment in optionally convertible preference shares (OCRPS), Investment in equity/preference instrument of other entities, investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, government securities, units of investment trust and units of alternative investment funds at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy described as follows, based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
(i) Level I — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
(ii) Level 2 — inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
(iii) Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting Company's assumptions about pricing by market participants.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements on fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Company's management determines the policies and procedures for recurring fair value measurement, such as investment in optionally convertible cumulative redeemable preference instruments (OCRPS), investment in compulsory convertible debentures (CCD) and investment in equity/preference instruments of other entities, investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of investment trust and units of alternative investment funds measured at fair value.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as unquoted investments in OCRPS, and investment in equity/preference
instruments of other entities. Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by the management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The management decides, after discussions with the Company's external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company's accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. This note summarises the accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

- Disclosures for valuation methods and quantitative disclosure of fair value measurement hierarchy (Note 29)
c) Revenue from contracts with customers and other income
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Company is primarily engaged in providing web services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the services is transferred to the customer at a fixed contract price that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.
The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers are provided in Note 3.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
Rendering of services
Revenue from web services is recognised based on output method i.e. pro-rata over the period of the contract as and when the company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers. Revenues from lead-based services is recognised based on output method i.e. as and when leads are consumed by the customer or on the expiry of contract whichever is earlier. Activation revenue is amortised over the estimated customer relationship period.
Advertising revenue is derived from displaying web-based banner ads and sale of online advertisements. Revenue from banner advertisement is recognised pro rata over the period of display of advertisement as per contract. Revenue from sale of online advertisements is recognised based on output method and the Company applies the practical expedient to recognize advertising revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.
Contract balances
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section m) Financial instruments.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised. The Company recognises contract liability for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as deferred revenue and advances from customers in the balance sheet. The unaccrued amounts are not recognised as revenue till all related performance obligations are fulfilled. The Company generally receives transaction price in advance for contracts with customers that run up for more than one year. The transaction price received in advance does not have any significant financing component as the difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the service arises for reasons other than the provision of finance.
Other income
Interest income
For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating EIR, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
Dividends
Dividend is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
d) Property, plant and equipment
Capital work in progress and property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.
Capital work in progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under development as at the balance sheet date.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances and cost of assets not ready for use at the balance sheet date, are disclosed under capital work- in- progress.
The Company has adopted component accounting as required under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company identifies the components separately, if it has useful life different from the respective property, plant and equipment.
Based on the analysis, Company believes that it does not have any asset having useful life of its major components different from the property, plant and

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
equipment, hence Company believes that there is no material impact on the financial statement of the Company due to component accounting.
Depreciation is calculated on a written down value basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II to Companies Act, 2013. The Company has used the following rates to provide depreciation on its property, plant and equipment:
| Asset | Annual rates |
|---|---|
| Computers | 63.16% |
| Furniture and fittings | 26.89% |
| Office equipment | 45.07% |
| Vehicles | 31.23% |
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances and cost of assets not ready for use at the balance sheet date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably
e) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any). Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Unique telephone numbers are amortised on a written down value basis at 40% annually.
Intangibles being Software acquired by the Company are amortised on a written down value basis at 40% annually.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of intangible assets outstanding at each balance sheet date are classified as capital advances and cost of assets not ready for use at the balance sheet date, are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
f) Leases
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (1) the contact involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. The lease liability is initially measured at
amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of the leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
Finance leases were capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments were apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges were recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
A ROU asset was depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there was no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset was depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
g) Investment in subsidiaries and associates
The Company records the investment in equity, preference and debt (fixed to fixed only) instruments of subsidiaries and associates at cost less impairment loss, if any.
On disposal of investment in subsidiaries and associates, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
h) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or

for the year ended 31 March 2026
group of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecasts calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company's CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the entity operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that
the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
i) Taxes
Current Income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (loss) or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
can be utilised except when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (loss) or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Sales/ value added taxes/ Service tax/ Goods and service tax (GST) paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales/ value added taxes/ GST paid, except:
- When the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable
- When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
j) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.
k) Retirement and other employee benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented under other current financial liabilities in the balance sheet.

Post-employment obligations
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees i.e. gratuity. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
- The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
- Net interest expense or income
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting period-end. Actuarial gain/loss are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The Company presents the entire leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for twelve months after the reporting date.
i) Share-based payments
Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries also receive remuneration in the form of stock options (ESOP) and stock appreciation rights (SAR) as share based payment transactions under the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan and Employee Stock Benefit Scheme. Both of these are equity settled share-based payment transactions.
The cost of equity settled transactions is determined based on the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserves (SBP) in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transaction at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense. The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
of subsidiaries is recognised as receivable from subsidiaries, with a corresponding increase in SBP, as a separate component in equity over the vesting period that the employees become entitled to the awards.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
m) Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value except trade receivables plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are recognised at transaction price in accordance with IND AS 115.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Debt instruments at amortised cost
- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (PVTOC)
- Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (PVTPL)
- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (PVTOC)
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A debt instrument is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in other income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to loans
Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Indiamart
IndiaMART InterMESH Limited
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
to employees, trade and other receivables. For more information on receivables, refer to Note 29.
Debt instruments at FVTOC
A 'debt instrument' is classified as at FVTOC if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
b) The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI
Debt instruments included within the FVTOC category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOC debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
Debt instruments and equity instruments at FVTPL
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTOC as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVTOC as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Debt instruments and equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either
(a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
Impairment of financial assets in accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
- Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
- Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables or contract revenue receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
- All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument
- Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head 'other expenses' in the P&L. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
- Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance,
i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
- Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
- Debt instruments measured at FVTOC: Since financial assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment allowance is not further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL amount is presented as 'accumulated impairment amount' in OCI.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company's financial liabilities include trade payables, security deposits and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
indiamart
IndiaMART InterMESH Limited
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as PVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
e) Foreign currency transactions
The Company's financial statements are presented in INR which is also the Company's functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at its functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, the Company uses an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
e) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
p) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
q) Segment reporting
In accordance with Ind AS 108 "Operating Segments", the Company has disclosed the segment information only as part of consolidated financial statements.
r) Share capital
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
s) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
t) Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Ind AS 118 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements has been issued, introducing revised requirements for presentation and enhanced disclosures in financial statements. The standard is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2027, and will be applicable to the Company from financial year 2027–28. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and expects it to primarily affect presentation and disclosures without a material impact on recognition and measurement.
3. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or
liabilities in future periods. Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company has based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
a) Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. In assessing the probability the Company considers whether the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, which will result in taxable amounts against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised before they expire. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
The Company has recognised deferred tax assets on the deductible temporary differences since the management is of the view that it is probable the deferred tax assets will be recoverable using the estimated future taxable income based on the approved business plans and budgets.
b) Share based payment
The Company initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees using a Black-Scholes–Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of the liability incurred. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share options and SAR units, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair
Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Integrated Annual Report 2025-26
Indiamart
IndiaMART InterMESH Limited
Notes to Standalone Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 28.
c) Impairment of Non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model or other fair value valuation models. In DCF model, the cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset's performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
d) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefit)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at intervals in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 27.
e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 29 and 31 for further disclosures.
f) Useful life of assets considered for depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed at each financial year end.
g) Leases
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

Every employee who has completed statutory defined year of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with insurance company in form of qualifying insurance policy. This defined benefit plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, interest rate risk and salary risk.
The amount included in the balance sheet arising from the Company's obligation in respect of its gratuity plan and leave encashment is as follows:

d) Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
Gratuity
| Increase | Decrease | |

b) The following methods / assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) The carrying value of deposits with banks, investment in TREPS, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans to employees, trade payables, security deposits, lease liabilities and other financial assets and other financial liabilities measured at amortised cost approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. These have been assessed basis credit risk.
ii) The fair value of non-current financial assets and financial liabilities are determined by discounting future cash flows using current rates of instruments with similar terms and credit risk. The current rates used do not reflect significant changes from the discount rates used initially. Therefore, the carrying value of these instruments measured at amortised cost approximate their fair value.
iii) Fair value of quoted mutual funds, exchange traded funds, investment trust and government securities is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. We do not expect material volatility in these financial assets.
iv) Fair value of debt instruments of subsidiaries, equity/preference instruments of other entities is estimated based on replacement cost method / discounted cash flows / market multiple valuation technique using cash flow projections, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 3.
v) Fair value of the quoted bonds and debentures is determined using observable market's inputs and is classified as Level 2.
vi) Fair value of derivative contract liability is determined using Monte Carlo Simulation method and is classified as Level 3.
vii) Fair value of debt instruments of associates is estimated based on replacement cost method / discounted cash flows / market multiple valuation technique using cash flow projections, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 3.

The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the returns to stakeholders through the optimisation of the equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of no borrowings and only equity of the Company.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the Company considers the cost of capital, risks associated with each class of capital requirements and maintenance of adequate liquidity.
31 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.
The Company's Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Board is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes regular reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and investments in mutual funds, bonds, exchange traded funds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds and units of investment trust.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
Credit risk management considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information including indicators like external credit rating (as far as available), macro-economic information (such as regulatory changes, government directives, market interest rate).
Trade receivables
The Company primarily collects consideration in advance for the services to be provided to the customer. As a result, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk on trade receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents and investments
Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and investments in mutual funds, bonds, exchange traded funds, debentures.
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, inter-corporate deposits and investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds and TREPS with reputed banks and financial institutions. The credit risk on these instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.

31 Financial risk management objectives and policies (Contd.)
Security deposits and Loans
The Company monitors the credit rating of the counterparties on regular basis. These instruments carry very minimal credit risk based on the financial position of parties and Company's historical experience of dealing with the parties.
ii) Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, who has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's undiscounted financial liabilities based on contractual payments:
Contractual maturities of financial liabilities
| 31 March 2026 | Within 1 year | Between 1 and 5 years and thereafter | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade payables | 259.21 | - | 259.21 |

| Other financial liabilities | 270.41 | - | 270.41 |
| 640.21 | 252.35 | 892.56 |
iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include foreign currency receivables, deposits, investments in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds, units of investment trust and investment in other entities.
a) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The Company's exposure to unhedged foreign currency risk as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 is not material. Currency risks related to the principal amounts of the Company's US dollar trade receivables.

and legal provisions. The appeal filed before the Commissioner (Appeals) was dismissed on 02 April 2026; however, the Company believes the order does not adequately consider the facts and supporting documents, including the NCLT order.

Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews these provisions and adjusts these provisions accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. The Company believes that the amount or estimable range of reasonably possible loss with respect to loss contingencies for legal and other contingencies, will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results or cash flows of the Company as at 31 March 2026.

Report On The Audit Of The Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of IndiaMART InterMESH Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Holding Company") and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group"), and its associates, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the consolidated statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group, and its associates as at 31 March 2026, of its consolidated profit and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group, and its associates in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provisions of the Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of reports of the other auditors referred to in paragraph (a) of the "Other Matters" section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements of components audited by them, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition - Web Services
See Note 2.3(c) and 19 to standalone financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The Group generates revenue primarily from web services and follows a prepaid model for its business. | In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: |
| Revenue from web services is recognised over the period of the contract as and when the Group satisfies performance obligations by actually rendering the promised services to its customers. | i. We assessed the appropriateness of the revenue recognition accounting policy and its compliance with applicable accounting standards. |
| These services are delivered using IT systems which manage very high volume on daily basis and generate reports from which the Group recognises revenue, and hence there is inherent risk around the existence and accuracy of revenue recognition. | ii. We evaluated the design and implementation of key internal financial controls and operating effectiveness of the relevant key controls with respect to existence and accuracy of revenue recognition on selected transactions. |
| iii. We, with the involvement of IT specialists, evaluated the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of management's general IT controls and key application controls over the Group's IT systems which govern revenue recognition, including access controls, controls over program changes and interfaces between different systems |

See Note 2.3(c) and 19 to standalone financial statements
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| We have identified revenue recognition from web services as a key audit matter because of the significance of web services revenue to the financial statements and its recognition based on high volume of data generated by internal IT systems. | iv. We selected a sample of transactions using statistical sampling and performed tests of details including reading the contract, identifying performance obligation and its link with actual rendition to assess whether the criteria for revenue recognition are met. |
| v. We tested completeness and accuracy of web services revenue and collection from underlying relevant source documents generated by IT systems with the underlying accounting records. | |
| vi. We assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. |
Goodwill Impairment
| See Note 6A to consolidated financial statements | |
|---|---|
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| The Group had recognised goodwill related to the business acquisition of Busy Infotech Private Limited and Livekeeping Technologies Private Limited, amounting to INR 4,122.34 million and INR 420.38 million respectively, in earlier years. | In view of the significance of the matter we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: |
| i. We evaluated the design and implementation and also tested the operating effectiveness of key internal financial controls implemented by the Group in relation to impairment testing of goodwill. | |
| ii. We evaluated the Group's valuation methodology applied in determining the recoverable amount of CGUs in accordance with applicable Ind AS. Further, we also assessed the objectivity and independence of the specialists involved in the process. | |
| iii. We evaluated the appropriateness of assumptions applied to key inputs of the cash flow forecasts including expected revenue growth rates, terminal growth rate and discount rate. | |
| iv. We engaged valuation specialists to assess the appropriateness of valuation methodology used and key inputs such as Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) rate, terminal growth rate and terminal value for the determination of the recoverable amount of each CGU. Further, we also compared the recoverable amount determined above with the carrying value of CGU. | |
| v. We performed our own sensitivity analysis, which included assessing the effect of reasonably possible reductions in growth rates and forecast cash flows to evaluate the impact on the currently estimated headroom for the Busy Infotech Private Limited and Livekeeping Technologies Private Limited CGUs. | |
| vi. We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the models. | |
| vii. We evaluated the adequacy of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures of key assumptions, judgements and sensitivities. |
Valuation of investments in associates and other entities
| See Note 7 and 8 to consolidated financial statements | |
|---|---|
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| The Group has significant investments in associates and other entities amounting to INR 3,600.24 million and INR 4,029.05 million respectively, as at 31 March 2026. | |
| Management keeps track of all investments in reference to their financial performance. In addition, management also performs: | |
| i. Review of indicators of impairment (if any) on investments in associates at regular intervals and performs impairment testing if any indicators are noted. | |
| ii. Fair valuation of investments in other entities which are measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). | |
| Significant judgements are involved to determine the key assumptions used for the purpose of impairment testing/ fair valuation, such as revenue growth rates, discount rates, terminal growth rates etc. The aforesaid activity of impairment testing/ fair valuation is highly dependent on the assumptions and other inputs considered to carry out such activity. | |
| We have identified valuation of investments in associates and other entities as a key audit matter because of the complexity involved in determination of key assumptions and judgements for the purpose of impairment testing/ fair valuation of respective investments. | In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, among others to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: |
| i. We evaluated the design and implementation and also tested the operating effectiveness of key internal financial controls implemented by the Group in relation to valuation of investments in associates and other entities. | |
| ii. We evaluated the Group's valuation methodology applied in determining the fair value ("recoverable amount") in accordance with relevant applicable Ind AS. Further, we also assessed the objectivity and independence of the specialists involved in the valuation process. | |
| iii. We evaluated the appropriateness of assumptions around the key drivers of the cash flow forecasts such as revenue growth rates, discount rates and terminal growth rates. | |
| iv. We also assessed the valuation methodology for recent market transactions and key assumptions adopted in the cash flow forecasts considering current economic scenarios, including retrospective reviews to prior year's forecasts against actual results. | |
| v. We engaged valuation specialists to assess the appropriateness of valuation methodology and market driven assumptions used for assessment of the valuation of investments. | |
| vi. We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the models. | |
| vii. We assessed the adequacy of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures of key assumptions, judgments and sensitivities. |

The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Holding Company's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done/audit reports of other auditors, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs, consolidated profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its associates in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associates to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of such entities or business activities within the Group and its associates to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in paragraph (a) of the section titled "Other Matters" in this audit report.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor's Report on the consolidated financial statements of IndiaMART InterMESH Limited for the year ended 31 March 2026
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid consolidated financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
(Referred to in paragraph 2(A)(g) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)
Opinion
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of IndiaMART InterMESH Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Holding Company") as of and for the year ended 31 March 2026, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India under the Act which are its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, as of that date.
In our opinion, the Holding Company and subsidiary companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2026, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by such companies considering the essential components of such internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for Internal Financial Controls
The respective Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the respective company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors of the relevant subsidiary companies in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include 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 the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Other Matter
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements insofar as it
relates to four subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India.
The internal financial controls with reference to financial information insofar as it relates to four associate companies, which is a company incorporated in India and included in these consolidated financial statements, have not been audited either by us or by other auditor. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, such unaudited associate companies are not material to the Holding Company.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Group") provides an online B2B marketplace for business products and services. It provides a platform to discover products and services and connect with the suppliers of such products and services. The registered office of the Company is located at 1st Floor, 29-Daryagang, Netaji Subash Marg New Delhi-110002, India.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution passed by Board of Directors on 30 April 2026.
- Material accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis as explained in the accounting policies below, except for the following:
- certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value where Ind AS requires a different accounting treatment (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments);
- share-based payments
- net defined benefit (asset)/liability - Fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the
Group's accounting policies. The areas where estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, or areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are disclosed in Note 3.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and associates as at 31 March 2026. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
- The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights
- The size of the group's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holding so the other voting rights holders
Group subsidiaries and associates are as follows:

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year/quarter are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances if a member of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that group member's financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity with the group's accounting policies.
The financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the parent company, i.e., year ended on 31 March 2026 since the Group's subsidiaries and associate have the same reporting period end.
Consolidation procedure:
a) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's portion of equity of each subsidiary.
c) Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Ind AS 12 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, if any, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
- Derecognises the assets (including goodwill, if any) and liabilities of the subsidiary
- Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
- Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
- Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
- Recognises the fair value of any investment retained
- Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss
- Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities
2.3 Material accounting policies
The accounting policies, as set out in the following paragraphs of this note, have been consistently applied, by all the group entities, to all the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy.
a) Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as "Ind AS") notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2013 ("the Act") (as amended from time to time).
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest INR million as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
b) Current versus non-current classification
Based on the time involved between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash-equivalents, the group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle for determining current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.
c) Fair value measurement
The Group measures financial instruments, such as Investment in equity/preference/debt instrument of other entities, Investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds and investment trust at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
(i) Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(ii) Level 2 — inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
(iii) Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting Group's assumptions about pricing by market participants
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the consolidated financial statements on fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Group's management determines the policies and procedures for recurring fair value measurement, such as investment in optionally convertible cumulative redeemable preference instruments (DCRPS), investment in compulsory convertible debentures (CCD), investment in equity/preference/debt instruments of other entities, investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, government securities, units of investment trust and units of alternative investment funds measured at fair value.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as unquoted investments in equity/preference/ debt instruments of other entities. Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually by the management. Selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. The management decides, after discussions with the Group's external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Group's accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. This note summarises the accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

- Disclosures for valuation methods and quantitative disclosure of fair value measurement hierarchy (Note 29)
d) Revenue from contracts with customers and other income
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group is primarily engaged in providing web related services and accounting software services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.
The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers are provided in Note 3.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
Rendering of services
Revenue from web services is recognised based on output method i.e. pro-rata over the period of the contract as and when the Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers. Revenues from lead based services is recognised based on output method i.e. as and when leads are consumed by the customer or on the expiry of contract whichever is earlier. Activation revenue is amortised over the estimated customer relationship period.
Revenue from term license software for accounting software services is recognized at a point in time when control is transferred to the end user. Control is transferred when the end user activates the license procured from the Company. In case of renewals of proprietary term licenses with existing customers, revenue from term license is recognized at a point in time when the renewal is activated by the end user. Revenue from support and subscription (S&S) is recognized over the contract term on a straight-line basis as the Company is providing a service of standing ready to provide support, when-and-if needed, and is providing unspecified software upgrades on a when-and-if available basis over the contract term. In case softwares are bundled with support and subscription for term based
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
license, such support and subscription contracts are generally priced as a percentage of the net fees paid by the customer to purchase the license and are generally recognized as revenues rateably over the contractual period that the support services are provided.
Revenue from sale of services is based on the fixed price agreed with the customers, net of discounts.
Advertising revenue is derived from displaying web based banner ads and sale of online advertisements. Revenue from banner advertisement is recognised pro rata over the period of display of advertisement as per contract. Revenue from sale of online advertisements is recognised based on output method and the Group applies the practical expedient to recognize advertising revenue in the amount to which the Group has a right to invoice.
Contract balances
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Group's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section o) Financial instruments.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised. The Group recognises contract liability for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as deferred revenue and advances from customers in the balance sheet. The unaccrued amounts are not recognised as revenue till all related performance obligations are fulfilled. The Group generally receives transaction price in advance for contracts with customers that run up for more than one year. The transaction price received in advance does not have any significant financing component as the difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the service arises for reasons other than the provision of finance.
Other income
Interest income
For all financial assets measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating EIR, the Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
Dividends
Dividend is recognised when the Group's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
e) Business combinations, goodwill and intangibles
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is the aggregate of the consideration transferred which is measured at fair value at the acquisition date and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquiree is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as financial liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the excess is recognized as capital reserve after reassessing the fair values of the net assets.

(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at their fair value at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is tested annually on 31 March, for impairment, or sooner whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGU) expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the business combination. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.
Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of a CGU including the goodwill, exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGU. Total impairment loss of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU, pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. An impairment loss on goodwill recognized in the statement of profit and loss is not reversed in the subsequent period.
f) Property, plant and equipment
Capital work in progress and property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful live
Capital work in progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under development as at the balance sheet date.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances and cost of assets not ready for use at the balance sheet date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
The Group has adopted component accounting as required under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Group identifies the components separately, if it has useful life different from the respective property, plant and equipment.
Based on the analysis, Group believes that it does not have any asset having useful life of its major component; different from the property, plant and equipment, hence Group believes that there is no material impact on the financial statement of the Group due to component accounting.
Depreciation is calculated on a written down value basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II to Companies Act, 2013. The Group has used the following rates to provide depreciation on its Property, plant and equipment:
| Asset | Annual rates |
|---|---|
| Computers | 63.16% |
| Furniture and fittings | 26.89% |
| Office equipment | 45.07% |
| Vehicles | 31.23% |
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances and cost of assets not ready for use at the balance sheet date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any). Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Unique telephone numbers are amortised on a written down value basis at 40% annually.
Software acquired by the Group are amortised on a written down value basis at 33.33% to 63.16% annually.
Technology and Channel Network acquired under business combination are amortised on a straight line bases at 20% annually.
Internally generated technology is amortised on a straight line basis at 33.33% annually.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of intangible assets outstanding at each balance sheet date are classified as capital advances and cost of assets not ready for use at the balance sheet date, are disclosed under intangible assets under development
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
h) Leases
The Group's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the group assesses whether: (1) the contact involves the use of an identified asset (2) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases for which the group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities include these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of the leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Group changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
Finance leases were capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments were apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges were recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
A ROU asset was depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there was no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset was depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
i) Investment in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment, or, a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 105.
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. Distributions received from an associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group's interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate. On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment.
After application of the equity method of accounting, the Group determines whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the net investment in an associate and that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows from the net investment that can be reliably estimated. If there exists such objective evidence of impairment, then it is necessary to recognise impairment loss with respect to the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
Group's investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with Ind AS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with Ind AS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
j) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Group's CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Group extrapolates
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the entity operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
k) Taxes
Current Income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (loss) or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
- In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:
- When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
- In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised
Deferred Tax Assets
deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (loss) or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Sales/ value added taxes/ Service tax/ Goods and service tax (GST) paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales/ value added taxes/ GST paid, except:
- When the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable
- When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
I) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or
all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the consolidated financial statements.
m) Retirement and other employee benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented under other current financial liabilities in the balance sheet.
Post-employment obligations
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Group has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Group recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid,
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
The Group operates a defined benefit gratuity plan for its employees i.e. gratuity. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
- The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
- The date that the Group recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Group recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
- Net interest expense or income
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the reporting period-end. Actuarial gain/loss are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The Group presents the entire leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for twelve months after the reporting date.
n) Share-based payments
Employees of the Group also receive remuneration in the form of stock options (ESOP) and stock appreciation rights (SAR) as a share based payment transactions under the Group's Employee stock option plan and Employee stock benefit scheme. Both of these are equity settled share based payment transactions.
The cost of equity settled transactions is determined based on fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserves (SBP) in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transaction at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the terms not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
o) Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value except trade receivables plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are recognised at transaction price in accordance with IND AS 115.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Debt instruments at amortised cost
- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOC)
- Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A debt instrument is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in other income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to loans to employees, trade and other receivables. For more information on receivables, refer to Note 29.
Debt instruments at FVTOCI
A debt instrument is classified as at FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
b) The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Group recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
Debt instrument and equity instruments at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Group may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as 'accounting mismatch').
Debt instruments and equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Group's balance sheet) when:
a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b) The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a. Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
b. Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115
The Group follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables or contract revenue receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
- All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument
- Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss (P&L). This amount is reflected under the head 'other expenses' in the P&L. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
- Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Group does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
- Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
- Debt instruments measured at FVTOC: Since financial assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment allowance is not further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL amount is presented as 'accumulated impairment amount' in OCI.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Group combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Group's financial liabilities include trade payables, security deposits and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Foreign currency transactions
The Group's financial statements are presented in INR which is also the Group's functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group at its functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, the Group uses an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance.
The Group has identified two business segments namely "Web and related Services" and "Accounting Software Services" as reportable segments based on the nature of the products, the risks and returns, the organization structure and the internal financial reporting systems.
Web and related services pertains to online B2B marketplace for business products and services. It provides a platform to discover products and services and connect with the suppliers of such products and services. Accounting software services include business of development, system analysis, designing and marketing of integrated business accounting software to help and manage businesses with increased efficiency.
The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments and are as set out in Note 2 on significant accounting policies. The accounting policies in relation to segment accounting are as under:
(a) Segment revenue and expenses
Segment revenue is directly attributable to the segment and segment expenses have been allocated to various segments on the basis of specific identification. However, segment revenue does not include other income.
(b) Segment assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities directly attributable or allocable to segments are disclosed under each reportable segment.
t) Share Capital
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
u) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Group, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
3. Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Ind AS 118 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements has been issued, introducing revised requirements for presentation and enhanced disclosures
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2026
(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
in financial statements. The standard is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2027, and will be applicable to the Group from financial year 2027–28. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this standard and expects it to primarily affect presentation and disclosures without a material impact on recognition and measurement.
4. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group has based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
a) Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. In assessing the probability, the Group considers whether the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, which will result in taxable amounts against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised before they expire. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based
upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
The Group has recognised deferred tax assets on the deductible temporary differences since the management is of the view that it is probable the deferred tax assets will be recoverable using the estimated future taxable income based on the approved business plans and budgets.
b) Share based payment
The Group initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees using a Black–Scholes–Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of the liability incurred. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option and SAR units, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 28.
c) Impairment of Non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm's length, for similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a DCF model or other fair value valuation models. In DCF model, the cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset's performance of the CGU being tested.
The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

(Amounts in INR million, unless otherwise stated)
d) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefit)
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate; future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at intervals in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases, and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 27.
e) Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 29 and 31 for further disclosures.
f) Useful life of assets considered for depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed at each financial year end.
g) Leases
The Group evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Group uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Group revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

The Group tests goodwill for impairment on March 31, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a CGU representing the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and which is not larger than the Group's operating segment.
The recoverable amount of the CGU was based on its value in use and was determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. These calculations use cash flow projections over a period of 5 years (31 March 2025: 5 years) and then on perpetuity on the basis of certain assumptions which include revenue growth, earnings before interest and taxes, taxes, capital outflow and working capital requirement, based on next year financial budgets approved by the management, with extrapolation for the remaining period. Future cash flows are discounted with "Weighted Average Cost of Capital". The key assumptions are as follows:
For the year ended 31 March 2026:
| Particulars | Busy Infotech Private Limited | Livekeeping Technologies Private Limited |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate (pre tax) (%) | 22.50% | 21.80% |
| Terminal value growth rate (%) | 4.00% | 4.00% |
For the year ended 31 March 2025:
| Particulars | Busy Infotech Private Limited | Livekeeping Technologies Private Limited |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate (pre tax) (%) | 28.19% | 23.40% |
| Terminal value growth rate (%) | 4.00% | 4.00% |
Average annual revenue growth rate is 25.60% (31 March 2025: 23.00%) for Busy Infotech Private Limited and 90% (31 March 2025: 111.31%) for Livekeeping Technologies Private Limited for the above stated period(s). Further, the discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) of a comparable market participant, which is adjusted for specific risks. These estimates are likely to differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows.
Based on the above, no impairment was identified as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the carrying value.
With regard to the assessment of value-in use for Busy Infotech Private Limited and Livekeeping Technologies Private Limited, no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying amount of the CGUs to exceed its recoverable amount.

| - Lease liabilities | 231.02 | 330.37 | |
| Total financial liabilities | 797.44 | 1,190.48 |
b) The following methods / assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
i) The carrying value of deposits with Banks, Inter-corporate deposits with financial institutions, trade receivables, loans to employees, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables, security deposits, lease liabilities and other financial assets and other financial liabilities measured at amortised cost approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. These have been assessed basis counterparty credit risk.
ii) The fair value of non-current financial assets and financial liabilities measured are determined by discounting future cash flows using current rates of instruments with similar terms and credit risk. The current rates used does not reflect significant changes from the discount rates used initially. Therefore, the carrying value of these instruments measured at amortised cost approximate their fair value.
iii) Fair value of quoted mutual funds, exchange traded fund, investment trust and government securities is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. We do not expect material volatility in these financial assets.
iv) Fair value of investment in equity/preference/ and debenture instruments of other entities is estimated based on discounted cash flows / market multiple valuation technique using the cash flow projections, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 3.
v) Fair value of Investment in debt instruments of associates is estimated based on discounted cash flows / market multiple valuation technique using the cash flow projections, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 3.
vi) Fair value of the quoted bonds and debentures is determined using observable market's inputs and is classified as Level 2.

31 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's board of directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities.
The Group's board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Board is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes regular reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
i) Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, inter-corporate deposits and investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures and TREPS with reputed banks and financial institutions.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
Credit risk management considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information including indicators like external credit rating (as far as available), macro-economic information (such as regulatory changes, government directives, market interest rate).
Trade receivables
The Group majorly collects consideration in advance for the services to be provided to the customer. As a result, the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk on trade receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents and investments
Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and investments in mutual funds, bonds, exchange traded funds, debentures.
The Group maintains its cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, inter-corporate deposits and investment in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures and Treps with reputed banks and financial institutions. The credit risk on these instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
Security deposits and loans
The Group monitors the credit rating of the counterparties on regular basis. These instruments carry very minimal credit risk based on the financial position of parties and Group's historical experience of dealing with the parties.
ii) Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group's short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities, and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

| 992.98 | 252.35 | 1,245.33 |
iii) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include foreign currency receivables, deposits, investments in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment funds, units of investment trust and investment in other entities.
a) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). The Group's exposure to unhedged foreign currency risk as at 31 March 2026 and 31 March 2025 is not material. Currency risks related to the principal amounts of the Group's US dollar trade receivables.
b) Interest rate risk
Investment of short-term surplus funds of the Group in liquid schemes of mutual funds, exchange traded funds, bonds, debentures, units of alternative investment fund and investment trust provides high level of liquidity from a portfolio of money market securities and high quality debt and categorized as 'low risk' product from liquidity and interest rate risk perspectives.
