(Nasdaq: RDZN) ("Roadzen" or the "Company"), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced that the Company’s Special Committee of Independent Directors has unanimously approved a plan for certain related parties to release $3.5 million of short-term debt in exchange for ordinary shares of RDZN.
