Roadzen signs deal to buy European car rental insurance agent for up to £12 million
Roadzen's India subsidiary agreed on July 3, 2026 to buy Riverside International Holdings, a European managing general agent focused on short-term car rental insurance, for up to £12 million. The deal depends on regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, and the company expects closing in the early fourth quarter of calendar 2026, so shareholders will see its effect on results only after it closes.
Key points
- Purchase price is up to £12 million: £6 million payable at closing and £6 million over three years based on performance milestones.
- Sellers of two shareholders may take Roadzen India shares instead of cash at closing, based on a stated valuation of Roadzen India of INR 2,500 crore; the company's press release puts this at approximately $280 million.
- Riverside is expected to generate approximately $18–20 million in revenue and $1.6–2 million in EBITDA in its current fiscal year, and writes approximately 800,000 policies a year.
- If closing conditions are not met by July 3, 2027, the agreement terminates; £600,000 of the closing payment goes into a retention account for indemnification claims.
