Modern Slavery Statement

This statement is made on behalf of Bodhrik Technologies Private Limited ("Bodhrik", "the Company", "we", "us") and sets out the steps we have taken and continue to take to ensure that modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, and human trafficking are not taking place in any part of our own business or in our supply chains. We publish this statement voluntarily as a matter of good governance and to support our clients' and partners' own due diligence and vendor risk assessment requirements.

Bodhrik Technologies Private Limited is a privately held company incorporated in India, headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka. We provide artificial intelligence consulting, software development, and technology advisory services to clients across sectors including financial services, HR technology, and enterprise software. The Company is led by its founding team and operates primarily through employed staff and a small number of specialist contractors and technology vendors.

Our workforce is engaged directly on the basis of written contracts of employment or consulting agreements, in compliance with applicable Indian labour law. We do not operate manufacturing facilities, and we do not directly source physical goods, raw materials, or hardware components as part of our core service delivery.

As a technology consulting business, Bodhrik's supply chain is limited in scope relative to manufacturing or hardware-intensive businesses. Our principal categories of third-party spend are:

• Cloud infrastructure and software-as-a-service providers
• Professional services (legal, accounting, recruitment)
• Office premises, facilities, and IT equipment suppliers
• Specialist technology subcontractors engaged on client projects

We recognise that modern slavery risk, while lower in a professional/knowledge-services supply chain, can still arise indirectly through facilities services, hardware manufacturing further up the chain, and lower-tier subcontracting. We take this into account in our vendor selection and review process described below.

Bodhrik maintains the following commitments as part of our internal governance framework:

• A zero-tolerance approach to forced, bonded, indentured, or involuntary labour of any kind, in our own operations and in our supply chain.
• A prohibition on the use of child labour, in line with applicable minimum working age laws.
• A prohibition on withholding or confiscating employees' identity documents, wages, or travel documents as a means of control.
• A commitment that all employment with Bodhrik is entered into voluntarily and that employees may leave their employment after reasonable notice.
• A commitment to fair, timely, and lawful payment of wages, and to not charging recruitment fees to employees or candidates as a condition of employment.
• A whistleblowing channel through which employees, contractors, vendors, or other stakeholders can raise concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation.

Bodhrik assesses modern slavery risk in its supply chain on a risk-based approach, taking into account the nature, geography, and labour-intensity of each vendor relationship. Higher-risk categories, such as facilities services and hardware-related subcontractors, receive greater scrutiny than low-risk categories such as cloud SaaS providers.

As part of vendor onboarding, key suppliers and subcontractors are asked to confirm their own compliance with applicable labour, anti-slavery, and anti-trafficking laws. Where a vendor is unable or unwilling to provide such confirmation, this is treated as a risk factor in the vendor selection decision. Where concerns are identified during the relationship, Bodhrik will engage with the vendor to seek remediation, and reserves the right to suspend or terminate the relationship where serious or unaddressed violations are found.

All Bodhrik employees and contractors undergo identity verification and right-to-work checks prior to engagement. Employment terms, including pay, working hours, and conditions, are documented in writing and communicated in a language understood by the individual. Employees are not subject to unreasonable restrictions on freedom of movement or employment, and are free to raise grievances through management or the whistleblowing channel described in Section 8.

Bodhrik's founders and staff involved in vendor selection, procurement, and people operations are made aware of modern slavery and human trafficking risk indicators, and of their responsibility to escalate any concerns identified during vendor onboarding, contract management, or day-to-day operations.

Any employee, contractor, supplier, client, or other stakeholder who has concerns about actual or suspected instances of modern slavery, forced labour, child labour, or human trafficking connected with Bodhrik's business or supply chain is encouraged to raise these concerns promptly, in confidence and without fear of retaliation, by writing to: compliance@bodhrik.com.

Bodhrik is a growing organisation and our due diligence processes will mature in line with the size and complexity of our supply chain. We monitor effectiveness through vendor onboarding records, any concerns raised through our reporting channel, and periodic review of this statement by the founding team. We are committed to strengthening our due diligence processes as our vendor base grows, including introducing more formal supplier self-assessment questionnaires for higher-risk categories.

This statement was reviewed and approved by the founding team of Bodhrik Technologies Private Limited and will be reviewed at least annually, or sooner if there is a material change to our business, supply chain, or applicable regulatory requirements.
