 their entrepreneurial potential and obtain a new form of financial independence. We provide a way for Hosts to generate income from their underutilized vehicles. The following are some of the most typical categories of Hosts using our platform:

| ● | Retail Hosts. Many Hosts list a single car on the Zoomcar platform with the objective of using car-sharing income as a way to reduce their monthly costs associated with car ownership. We refer to such Hosts as “Retail” Hosts. For these Hosts, their monthly vehicle usage is generally low and, therefore, they look to monetize the vehicle’s downtime through listing on the Zoomcar platform. This provides them with an incremental monthly income to supplement their full-time employment. The majority of Zoomcar’s active hosts fall under the category of Retail Hosts. |

| ● | Entrepreneurial Hosts. We refer to Hosts with two to 10 listed vehicles on the Zoomcar platform as “Entrepreneurial” Hosts. Many of these Hosts started out listing just one vehicle part-time and, over time, have come to regard our marketplace as a place where they can fulfil their entrepreneurial ambition and earn a consistent income. In many instances, these Hosts use the Zoomcar platform as an opportunity to build their own small business within their own neighborhoods and broader communities. Over time, Entrepreneurial Hosts may establish long-term “fleets” of vehicles and many Entrepreneurial Hosts may become experts in leveraging Zoomcar’s platform tools and recommendations to further maximize the income they can generate from the platform. While a minority of Zoomcar’s active hosts fall under the category of Entrepreneurial Hosts, these Hosts do contribute to a majority of Zoomcar’s bookings and overall business volume. |

| ● | Professional Hosts. Professional Hosts list more than 10 cars at a time on our platform. Their participation in our marketplace often supplements a small offline rental car operation or a group of vehicles part of a prior rental business, most commonly in more tourist-centric locations. For these Hosts, Zoomcar’s marketplace allows them an opportunity to increase fleet utilization and earn incremental income on their broader vehicle portfolio. Professional Hosts do not typically start as retail or entrepreneurial Hosts and are typically onboarded through offline business development channels and use our platform as incremental lead generation. Less than 1% of all Zoomcar Hosts currently fall under the category of professional Hosts. |

Benefits to Hosts Our goal relative to Hosts is to make our platform as easy and efficient to use as
