 to their end consumers, thus creating expectation among consumers of on-demand access to transactions
    and services. Successful businesses have effectively leveraged technology to provide personalized, dynamic experiences that adjust
    to meet the ever-evolving needs of the consumer.

    Consumers have come
    to expect seamless, frictionless mobility options as the default across our target emerging markets. We believe on-demand, hyper-local
    mobility options are becoming readily available, standard experiences for consumers. Micro-mobility options, such as scooters and
    point-to-point cab trips (ride-hailing) are examples of transportation services that have become or are becoming digitized across
    emerging market cities. As these trends continue, we believe consumers expect agile, convenient modes of transportation, in contrast
    to legacy chauffeur driven or traditional rent-a-car services. We believe that consumers are increasingly expecting a digitally enabled,
    frictionless travel experience representing a fundamental paradigm shift from just a decade ago when consumer travel experiences
    such as ride-hailing and car rental tended to occur primarily offline. The new mobility services of recent years help offer the consumer
    exceptional convenience with greater flexibility and affordability. We believe the fundamental insight behind these newer platforms
    is that today’s consumers value access over ownership and prefer to save time while also enjoying more personalized experiences.

    Solutions combining
    micro-entrepreneurship and efficient use of assets at scale are gaining momentum. In recent years, we believe global technology
    platforms have consistently offered individuals more opportunities to participate in their “scale-up” journeys. Mobile
    apps focusing on consumer services offer individuals an opportunity to rent out or sell products as part of their broader marketplace
    participation. These platforms allow individuals to essentially grow and scale a business on the applicable platform. Combined with
    trends toward more flexible working arrangements following the COVID-19 pandemic and less commuting, individuals are able to leverage
    additional available time by collaborating with a technology platform on bespoke entrepreneurial arrangements.

    As urban incomes across
    our target emerging markets rise, domestic tourism is also flourishing. Among the more pronounced macro trends across our target
    emerging markets during the past decade is what we believe to be the increasingly high urbanization rates in the largest emerging-market
    cities. During this time, populations in these cities have generally trended younger, with a strong emphasis on upward mobility.
    Zoomcar believes that the trend towards domestic, short-term travel will continue, given the increased emphasis on domestic travel
