(ii) Provisions
Provisions for expenses
Provisions for expenses are recognized when
the Company has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that the Company will be required to settle the
obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best
estimate of the consideration required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the financial
year, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision is
measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the
present obligation, its carrying amount is the present
value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time
value of money is material).
When some or all the economic benefits required
to settle a provision are expected to be recovered
from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an
asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will
be received, and the amount of receivable can be
measured reliably.
Provision for warranty
The Company typically provides warranties for
products sold under Native which covers repairs
of defects that existed at the time of the sale and
services for two years from the sale of goods. These
assurance type warranties are accounted for under
the Ind AS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets.
Warranty provisions are determined based on the
current yearâs percentage of warranty expense to
the sale of the same types of goods for which the
warranty is currently being determined. The same
percentage to the sale is applied for the current
accounting year to derive the warranty expense to be
accrued. It is adjusted to account for unusual factors
related to the goods that were sold, such as defective
inventory lying at the dealers/ecommerce.
The warranty claims may not exactly match the
historical warranty percentage, so such estimates
are reviewed annually for any material changes in
assumptions and likelihood of occurrence.
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 recognized because it is not probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation. Contingent liability also arises in extremely
rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability
but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
(iii) Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.Net realizable value represents
the estimated selling price for inventories in the
ordinary course of business less all estimated costs
of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase,
costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition.
Obsolete and defective inventory are duly provided
for basis management estimates.
(iv) Income Tax
The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax
payable on the current yearâs taxable income based
on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes
in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current tax is calculated using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of
the financial year.
The management periodically evaluates positions
taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation
and establishes provisions where appropriate based
on amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Current tax and deferred tax relating to items
recognized outside the Statement of Profit and
Loss are recognized outside the Statement of Profit
and Loss (either in OCI or in equity). Current tax and
deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
(v) Financial instruments
Financial assets
All recognized financial assets are subsequently
measured in their entirety at either amortised cost
or fair value, depending on the classification of the
financial assets.
Classification and measurement of financial
instruments
Financial assets at Amortised Cost
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions
are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except
for debt instruments that are designated as at fair
value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
⢠the asset is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets to collect contractual
cash flows; and
⢠the contractual terms of the instrument give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest 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. EIR amortisation is included
in other income in the Standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss.
The losses arising from impairment are recognized
in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
This category generally applies to investment in
redeemable preference shares, loans to employees,
trade and other receivables.
Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost
criteria or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL. In
addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised
cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated
as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL.
A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria
or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may
be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces
a measurement or recognition inconsistency that
would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or
recognizing the gains and losses on them on different
bases. The Company has not designated any debt
instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value
at the end of each financial year, with any gains or
losses arising on remeasurement recognized in the
Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss. The net gain
or loss recognized in the Standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss incorporates any dividend or interest
earned on the financial asset and is included in the
âOther incomeâ line item.
The Company subsequently measures all equity
investments at fair value. Where the management has
elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity
investments in other comprehensive income, there is
no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and
losses to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss
following the derecognition of the investment.
Dividends from such investments are recognized
in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss as
other income when the Companyâs right to receive
payments is established.
The Company applies the Expected Credit Loss
(âECLâ) model for recognizing impairment loss on
financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt
instruments, trade receivables, other contractual
rights to receive cash or other financial asset not
designated as at FVTPL.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average
of credit losses with the respective risks of default
occurring as the weights. Credit loss 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 Company expects to receive (i.e.
all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective
interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate
for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial
assets). The Company estimates cash flows by
considering all the contractual terms of the financial
instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call
and similar options) through the expected life of that
financial instrument.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a
financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime
expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial
instrument has increased significantly since initial
recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument
has not increased significantly since initial recognition,
the Company measures the loss allowance for that
financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month
expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit
losses are portion of the life-time expected credit
losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that
will result if a default occurs within the 12 months after
the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls
that are predicted over the next 12 months.
When making the assessment of whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, the Company uses the change in the risk
of a default occurring over the expected life of the
financial instrument instead of the change in the amount
of expected credit losses. To make that assessment,
the Company compares the risk of a default occurring
on the financial instrument as at the reporting date
with the risk of a default occurring on the financial
instrument as at the date of initial recognition and
considers reasonable and supportable information,
that is available without undue cost or effort, that is
indicative of significant increases in credit risk since
initial recognition.
For 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 always measures the loss allowance at
an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected
credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the
Company has used a practical expedient as permitted
under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance
is computed based on a provision matrix which takes
into account historical credit loss experience and
adjusted for forward-looking information.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset
expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of
the asset to another party.
Upon derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety,
the difference between the assetâs carrying amount
and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had
been recognized in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity is recognized in the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss if such gain or loss would
have otherwise been recognized in the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss upon disposal of that
financial asset.
Upon derecognition of a financial asset other than
in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an
option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the
Company allocates the previous carrying amount of
the financial asset between the part it continues to
recognize under continuing involvement, and the part
it no longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fair
values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The
difference between the carrying amount allocated
to the part that is no longer recognized and the sum
of the consideration received for the part no longer
recognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated
to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive
income is recognized in the Standalone Statement
of Profit and Loss if such gain or loss would have
otherwise been recognized in the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss upon disposal of that
financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had
been recognized in other comprehensive income
is allocated between the part that continues to be
recognized and the part that is no longer recognized
on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
Debt and equity instruments issued by an entity are
classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual
arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability
and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences
a residual interest in the assets of an entity after
deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued
by the Company are recognized at the proceeds
received, net of direct issue costs.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest
method or at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL
when the financial liability is held for trading or it is
designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
⢠it has been incurred principally for the purpose of
repurchasing it in the near term; or
⢠upon initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of
identified financial instruments that the Company
manages together and has a recent actual
pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
⢠it is a derivative that is not designated and
effective as a hedging instrument.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value,
with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement
recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and
Loss. The net gain or loss recognized in the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss incorporates any interest
paid on the financial liability and is included in the
âOther incomeâ line item. The net gain or loss arising
on embedded derivative (i.e. equity linked interest
payments) measured at FVTPL is recognized as
âFinance costsâ.
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and
are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at
amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting
years. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that
are subsequently measured at amortised cost are
determined based on the effective interest method.
Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs
of an asset is included in the âFinance costsâ line item.
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities
when, and only when, the Companyâs obligations are
discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange
between with a lender of debt instruments with
substantially different terms is accounted for as an
extinguishment of the original financial liability and
the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly,
a substantial modification of the terms of an existing
financial liability (whether or not attributable to the
financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an
extinguishment of the original financial liability and the
recognition of a new financial liability. The difference
between the carrying amount of the financial liability
derecognized and the consideration paid and payable
is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the
net amount is reported in the Standalone Statement
of Assets and Liabilities where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts
and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or
realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The legally enforceable right must not be contingent
on future events and must be enforceable in the
normal course of business and in the event of
default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or
the counterparty.
(vi) Earnings per share
(i) Basic 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 including
exercisable options under employee
stock option scheme.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures
used in the determination of basic earnings per
share into account:
⢠the after-income tax effect of interest and
other financing costs associated with
dilutive potential equity shares, and
⢠the weighted average number of additional
equity shares that would have been
outstanding, assuming the conversion of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
(vii) Foreign currency translation
a) Functional and presentation currency
The items included in the Standalone Financial
Statements of each of the Companyâs entities
are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity
operates (that is, functional currencyâ). The
Standalone Financial Statements are presented
in H, which is the Companyâs functional and
presentation currency.
b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded
applying the exchange rate at the date of
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currency, remaining
unsettled at the end of the year, are translated
at the closing exchange rates prevailing on the
Balance Sheet date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or
translation of monetary items are recognized in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair
value that are denominated in foreign currencies
are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the
date when the fair value was determined. Non¬
monetary items that are measured in terms
of historical cost in a foreign currency are
not retranslated. 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 recognized in Other
Comprehensive Income (OCI) or the Statement
of Profit and Loss are also reclassified in OCI or
the Statement of Profit and Loss, respectively).
(viii) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the Standalone
Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents
includes cash on hand, other short-term, highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or
less that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
(ix) Employee benefits
a) Defined benefit plan
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 for the specified countries.
Those mortality tables tend to change only at
certain 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.
This cost is included in the âEmployee benefits
expenseâ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains or losses and return on
plan assets (excluding amounts included in
net Interest on the net defined benefit liability)
arising from changes in actuarial assumptions
are recognized in the year in which they
occur, directly in OCI. These are presented
as remeasurement gains or losses on defined
benefit plans under other comprehensive
income in other equity. Remeasurements gains
or losses are not reclassified subsequently to
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Compensated absences
The Company records an obligation for
compensated absences in the year in which the
employee renders the services that increases
this entitlement. The Company measures the
expected cost of compensated absences as
the additional amount that the Company expects
to pay as a result of the unused entitlement
that has accumulated at the end of the financial
year. The Company recognizes accumulated
compensated absences based on actuarial
valuation in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(x) Recoverable from payment gateways
âRemittance in transit,â which represent amount
collected from customers through payment gateways
via credit card / debit cards / UPI / Wallets / net
banking, and not yet settled by them are classified as
other financial assets.
(xi) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers
for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary
course of business and reflects the Companyâs
unconditional right to consideration (that is, payment
is due only on the passage of time). Trade receivables
are recognized initially at the transaction price as
they do not contain significant financing components.
The Company holds the trade receivables with the
objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and
therefore measures them subsequently at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less
loss allowance.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the
Standalone Statement of Assets and Liabilities based
on current/ non-current classification. An asset is
treated as current when it is:
a) Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or
consumed in normal operating cycle, or
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
c) Expected to be realized within twelve months
after the financial year, or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from
being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
at least twelve months after the financial year.
All other assets are classified as non-current assets.
A liability is treated as current when it is:
a) It is expected to be settled in a normal
operating cycle, or
b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after
the financial year, or
d) There is no unconditional right to defer the
settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the financial year.
All other liabilities are classified as non¬
current liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as
non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle of an entity is the time between
the acquisition of assets for processing and their
realization in the form of cash or cash equivalents.
Where the entityâs normal operating cycle is not clearly
identifiable, its duration is assumed to be 12 months.
The preparation of the financial statements
requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of revenue, expenses,
assets and liabilities. Uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require material adjustment to the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected
in future years.
Judgements
In the process of applying the accounting
policies, management has made the following
judgements, which have the most significant
effect on the amounts recognized in the
financial statements:
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
financial year, are described below:
a. The Company based its assumptions
and estimates on parameters available
when the standalone financial
statement were prepared.
b. 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.
Principal vs. agent
As disclosed in Note 1(b), the Company has
separate contractual arrangements with the end
users and the service professionals respectively
which specify the rights and obligations of
each of the parties. An end user initiates the
transaction which requires acceptance from
the service professionals. The acceptance of
the transaction, combined with the contractual
agreement, creates enforceable rights and
obligations for each of the parties. The Company
charges convenience and platform fee from the
end user for which the Company considers itself
as an agent for convenience and platform fees.
Identification of the customer
As disclosed in Note 1(b), the Company
considers a party to be a customer if that party
has contracted with the entity to obtain goods
or services that are an output of the entityâs
ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.
Based on the terms of use and substance of
the arrangement, the end users (rather than the
service professionals) are considered customers
of the Company for the convenience fee
and platform fee.
Discounts and other incentives
As disclosed in Note 1(b), the Company provides
incentives to its end user users in various forms
including credits and direct payment discounts
to promote traffic on its platform. All incentives
given to the end users where the Company is
responsible for providing the platform to hire
service professionals are recorded as a reduction
of revenue to the extent of the revenue earned
from that end user on a transaction-by-transaction
basis. The amount of incentive in excess of the
revenue earned from the transacting users is
recorded as sales promotion expense.
Deferred tax recognition
Deferred tax assets (DTA) is recognized only when
and to the extent there is convincing evidence
that the Company will have sufficient taxable
profits in future against which such assets can
be utilized. Significant management judgement is
required to determine the amount of deferred tax
assets that can be recognized, based upon the
likely timing and the level of future taxable profits
together with future tax planning strategies,
recent business performance and developments.
Fair value measurement of financial instruments
When the fair value 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 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.
Share based payment
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, volatility, dividend yield, forfeiture rate
and making assumptions about them. The
assumptions and models used for estimating fair
value for share based payment transactions are
disclosed in note 32.
Determination of Lease term
In determining the lease term, management
considers all facts and circumstances that create
an economic incentive to exercise an extension
option or not exercise a termination option.
Extension options (or periods after termination
options) are only included in the lease term if the
lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or
not terminated).
Most extension options in office leases have
been included in the lease liability, because the
Company could not replace the assets without
significant cost or business disruption.
The lease term is reassessed if an option is
actually exercised (or not exercised) or the
Company becomes obliged to exercise (or not
exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable
certainty is only revised if a significant event or
a significant change in circumstances occurs,
which affects this assessment, and that is within
the control of the lessee.
Estimates and judgements are continually
evaluated. They are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future
events that may have a financial impact on the
Company and that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Also refer to note 30.

3 Instruments entirely equity in nature: The Company has issued certain Compulsory Convertible Cumulative
Preference Shares ("CCCPS") referred above as instruments entirely equity in nature carrying a predetermined
cumulative dividend rate of 1% p.a. Each CCCPS is convertible into equity shares either at the end of 19 years or
pursuant to a Public Offer, whichever is earlier. These CCCPS were converted into equity shares in the manner
as provided under the Articles of Association during the year ended March 31, 2026. The Company has not

The table shown above analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels
have been defined below:
- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1) Fair value of the cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade receivables, other financial assets, trade
payables and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying value largely due to short term maturities of
these instruments.
2) Fair value of unquoted instruments is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available
for debt of similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.
3) Fair value of quoted mutual funds is determined by reference to quotes from the financial institutions, i.e. net
asset value (NAV) declared by mutual fund house as at the reporting date.

risk management framework. This note presents information about the risks associated with the Company''s financial
instruments, the Companyâs objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Companyâs
