Dear Shareholders,

Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the 45^th Annual Report of Annvrridhhi Ventures Limited (Formerly known as J. Taparia Projects Limited) on the business and operations of the company along with the Audited Financial Statements for the financial year ended on 31^st March, 2025.

During the year under review, the name of the Company was changed from "J. Taparia Projects Limited" to "Annvrridhhi Ventures Limited" to better align with the Company's revised business focus and strategic direction.

The Board of Directors approved the change of name at its meeting held on 03^rd September, 2024, and the shareholders' approval was duly obtained at the 44^th Annual General Meeting held on 26^th September, 2024. Following the necessary approvals, the Company received a fresh Certificate of Incorporation from the Central Processing Centre, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, dated 15^th November, 2024, confirming the change of name to "ANNVRRIDHHI VENTURES LIMITED."

The new name is derived from two Sanskrit words:

• "Ann", meaning food, and

• "Vrridhhi", meaning growth or prosperity.

Together, "Annvrridhhi" symbolizes the Company's commitment to fostering growth in the agri-food and allied sectors, reflecting its future plans to venture into businesses that are aligned with food, nutrition, and sustainable development.

The Board believes that this change in name not only represents the evolving nature of the Company's operations but will also enhance its market positioning, support sustainable earnings, and contribute positively to shareholder value over the long term.

The Board of Directors at its Board meeting held on 14^th February, 2024 had approved the shifting of registered office of the company from the state of West Bengal to the state of Gujarat, subject to approval of shareholders and regulatory authorities. The shifting of registered office would be from 4A, Council House Street, MMS Chambers, 1^st Floor, Room No. D, Council House Street, Near Olisa Reality, Opposite Raj Bhavan, Kolkata, West Bengal - 700 001 to Office No. 306, 3^rd Floor, Urban 2, Bhayli, Vadodara, Gujarat - 390 007 subject to necessary approvals. However, the inter-state shifting of the registered office was not carried out, as the Board considered it more appropriate to first complete the process of changing the name of the Company to reflect its revised business focus. The name of the Company was subsequently changed to "Annvrridhhi Ventures Limited" in November 2024, as detailed in the earlier section of this Report. The Board may, at a suitable time in the future, revisit the proposal for shifting the registered office to the State of Gujarat, if deemed appropriate in the interest of the Company and its stakeholders.

Pursuant to Section 12 of The Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable provisions of The Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder (including any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force), the company had changed the Registered Office from 4A, Council House Street, MMS Chambers, 1^st Floor, Room No. D, Council House Street, Near Olisa Reality, Opposite Raj Bhavan, Kolkata, West Bengal - 700 001 to Room No. 202, 41/A, Tara Chand Dutta Street, Kolkata - 700 073, West Bengal with effect from 01^st September, 2024.
