 emerging market cities and populations create a broader need for shorter-distance transportation solutions in emerging markets, where current offerings tend to be more expensive, less flexible and less personalized than booking a vehicle through our platform to meet specific travel needs. 93 Zoomcar’s Platform Solutions We believe Zoomcar is positioned to lead a shift in emerging market mobility solutions to a digitally enabled, hyper-local, personalized service offering for end consumers. Through our car sharing marketplace, we are pioneering a form of mobility offering that connects Guests with a network of privately owned vehicles from which they can select cars and Hosts that align with specific, short and medium-term travel needs. Zoomcar’s hyper-local, peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace provides Guests with an affordable and flexible way to access the convenience of having a private car of their choosing without the expense of having to purchase or finance and maintain a vehicle. Our platform also provides Hosts with the ability monetize otherwise underutilized assets, thus facilitating micro-entrepreneurship through a socially-conscious, community-based asset-sharing model.

| ● | Economics: Affordable for Guests and Income-Generating for Hosts. For many Guests, we believe that owning a car is not economical, given prohibitive vehicle pricing in our target emerging markets, coupled with lack of financing opportunities and limited pre-owned vehicle markets. Instead of buying a car that, for most consumers is likely to sit idle during large portions of a day (e.g., in a parking lot during working hours), and even more likely to be underutilized among emerging market customers in view of constraints arising from prohibitive traffic patterns and poor infrastructure, our platform offers Guests the opportunity to temporarily use a car on an as-needed basis, paying only for use of a car as required. For Hosts, Zoomcar’s platform provides the chance to offset some of the cost of vehicle ownership through income generation opportunities. Our platform, through its flexible, multi-purpose technology, is also able to identify times when a Host is most likely to profit from car sharing and highlights these entrepreneurial opportunities to allow Hosts to optimize pricing for bookings, thereby assisting Hosts in maximizing income generation by listing vehicles on our platform. |

| ● | Flexible Use Cases. Our platform allows Guests and Hosts to tailor and customize the way cars are used. Longer car trips (above 15 miles), which are not economical through ride sharing services, represent the vast majority of bookings on our platform. However, given the numerous listed vehicles distributed across nearly all parts of our most populous urban markets, our platform also enables users to book cars
