We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue Recognition (as described in Note 2.2(i) and 21 of the standalone financial statements)
Until June 01, 2025, the Company provided an e-commerce platform that allowed the sellers to sell their goods to the users of the platform and managed shipping services through its logistics platform - ‘Valmo and third party logistics services providers. The Company charged order shipping income from sellers in the form of forward and reverse shipping income and paid appropriate costs to the logistics partners for all stages of deliveries i.e. first mile, mid mile and last mile delivery services. The Company also provided advertisement and marketing, assurance and other related platform services. Our audit procedures include the following:
Subsequently from June 01, 2025, pursuant to the Business Combination as disclosed in note 39 of the standalone financial statements, the Company generates revenue from providing logistics services through its logistics platform - ‘Valmo, exclusively to one of its wholly-owned subsidiary, which operates the e-commerce platform. Revenue from these logistics services is recognized on a cost to cost basis, whereby the transaction price comprises the operational costs incurred by the Company to provide logistics services. (i) We assessed whether the Companys revenue

recognition policies are consistent with the applicable accounting standards.

The Company operates in a highly tech-driven environment, where IT systems enable users to place orders on the platform and order fulfillment by the logistics partners. Accordingly, the Company relies significantly on its IT systems for the performance of its daily operations. (ii) We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design, implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of managements general IT controls, automated controls, and control over system generated reports relevant for revenue recognition by involving our Information Technology (IT) specialists.
Considering the complexity and numerous IT systems involved, and significant volume of data processed by these systems, revenue recognition has been identified as key audit matter. (iii) We tested the operating effectiveness of IT dependent manual controls. Further, performed analytical procedures and tested reconciliations between reports generated from Companys internal system with general ledger.
(iv) On a sample basis, we tested the underlying

records including the attributes from the contracts relating to revenue recognition and recalculated the revenue amount.

(v) We performed cut-off procedures for the period before and after the year end by testing the underlying proof of delivery records and ensured that the revenue is recognised in the correct period.
(vi) We performed recomputation of shipping income for selected sample days by applying the applicable product-level rate cards, which are determined based on delivery zone and shipment weight.
(vii) We performed correlation of shipping income with

corresponding logistics costs for sub-orders and verified appropriateness of accrual of revenue and related logistics costs against the respective AWBs.

(viii) We assessed manual journals posted to revenue to identify unusual or irregular items.
(ix) We assessed the adequacy of disclosures made in the standalone financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.
Impairment assessment of investment in subsidiaries (as described in Note 2.2(h) and 5 of the standalone financial statements)
As at March 31, 2026, the net carrying value of investment in subsidiaries in the standalone financial statements amounts to 1306,112.43 million. Our audit procedures included the following:
To assess if there is an impairment of the carrying value of investment, management conducted impairment tests, annually or whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that, the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value. (i) We evaluated the design, implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls relating to impairment assessment of investment in subsidiaries.
The recoverable amount is estimated by calculating the value in use by discounting future cash flows based on future business plans which is carried out by an independent expert. (ii) We carried out assessment of forecasts of future cash flows prepared by the management, evaluating the assumptions and comparing the estimates to externally available industry, economic and financial data;
(iii) We evaluated the objectivity and competency of the specialist engaged by the Company and reviewed the valuation report issued by such specialist;
The testing of investment impairment is complex and involves significant judgement. The key assumptions involved in impairment tests are projected revenue growth, operating margins, discount rates and terminal growth rate. (iv) We also assessed the valuation methodology and the key assumptions adopted in the cash flow forecasts with the support of our internal valuation experts;
(v) We also assessed the recoverable value headroom by performing sensitivity testing of key assumptions used;
Due to the uncertainty of forecasting and discounting future cash flows, being inherently subjective, the level of managements judgement involved and the significance of the Companys investment as at March 31, 2026, we have considered this as a key audit matter. (vi) We discussed potential changes in key drivers as compared to previous year / actual performance with management to evaluate whether the inputs and assumptions used in the cash flow forecasts were appropriate;
(vii) We discussed with senior management personnel, the justification for the key assumptions underlying the cashflow projections and performed sensitivity analysis on the same to assess their reasonableness;
(viii) We assessed the adequacy of disclosures made by the Company in relation to the impairment test as per Ind AS 36, in notes to the standalone financial statements.
Tax litigations and contingencies (as described in notes 2.2(m) and 30 of the standalone financial statements)
The Company is subject to challenges by local tax authorities on a range of matters arising during the normal course of business including direct and indirect tax matters. As at March 31, 2026, the Company has disclosed contingent liabilities of 120,860.98 million in respect of demands raised, as detailed in note 30 to the standalone financial statements. Our audit procedures included the following:
The Company assesses the need to make a provision or disclose a contingency on a case-to-case basis considering the underlying facts of each matter and considering the views of independent tax experts. This involves a high level of management judgement and assumptions which impact the risk assessment and consequential provisioning and disclosure of contingencies in the financial statements. (i) We obtained an understanding and tested the internal controls relating to the identification, recognition and measurement of provisions for disputes and disclosures of contingent liabilities in relation to taxes;
Given the inherent uncertainty, the complexity of the judgements involved, and the potential magnitude of related amounts, we considered the evaluation of tax related contingencies to be a key audit matter. (ii) We obtained confirmations/ opinions from independent tax experts on ongoing litigations along with risk assessment and assessed the independence, objectivity and competence of the management expert;
(iii) We obtained details of tax assessments, demands issued by tax authorities, orders/notices received with respect to other litigations from the management;
(iv) We involved our internal tax experts to review the status of tax assessments and managements position in relation to on-going disputes regarding likelihood assessment of exposure carried out by the management; and
(v) We assessed the adequacy of disclosures made in the standalone financial statements

Other Information

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditors report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors report.

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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Companys Board of Directors is 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 standalone financial position, standalone financial performance including other comprehensive income/(loss), standalone cash flows and standalone changes in equity 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 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 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 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, management is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Charged with Governance are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting process.

Auditors 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 are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors 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 standalone 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 management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of managements use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors 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 auditors 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 for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors 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.
