References to “India” are to the Republic of India. References to “$”, “US$” and “U.S. Dollars” are to the lawful currency of the United States of America, and references to “Rs.” “INR” and “rupee” each refer to the Indian rupee, the official currency of the Republic of India. On December 16, 2016, we converted our preference shares into ordinary shares and effectuated a reverse 5.4242194-for-one share split of our ordinary shares as well as a 5.4242194-for-one adjustment with respect to the number of ordinary shares underlying our share options and a corresponding adjustment to the exercise prices of such options. Unless otherwise specifically stated or the context otherwise requires, all share information and per share data included in this Annual Report prior to December 16, 2016 has been presented on a post-share split basis. In addition, on December 16, 2016, we completed the business combination with Terrapin 3 Acquisition Corporation, or Terrapin 3, pursuant to which Terrapin 3 became our partially owned subsidiary, which is referred to herein as the Business Combination. Unless otherwise indicated, our consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 included elsewhere in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. References to a particular “fiscal year” are to our fiscal year ended March 31 of that year. Our fiscal quarters end on June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31. References to a year other than a “fiscal” year are to the calendar year ended December 31. We refer in various places within this Annual Report to Revenue Less Service Cost and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-IFRS measures. The presentation of non-IFRS measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS. See “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.” In this Annual Report, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding the travel service industry and our competitors from market research reports and other publicly available sources. We have supplemented such information where necessary with our own internal estimates and information obtained from discussions with our customers, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and our management’s best view as to information that is not publicly available. While we believe that all such information is reliable, we have not independently verified industry and market data from third party sources. In addition, while we believe that our internal company research is reliable and the definitions of our industry and market are appropriate, neither our research nor these definitions have been verified by any independent source. Further, while we believe the market opportunity information included in this Annual Report is generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise. Projections, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the industry in which we operate and our future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.
