 for shorter, intracity errands or short-duration leisure trips. Our platform also enables Guests to transition seamlessly from short duration usage to long duration usage depending on the Guests plans, thus removing the rigidity that comes with a rental car or chauffeured transaction. |

| ● | Accessibility and Ease of Use. Our online, app-based platform allows Guests to set up accounts and transact in just minutes. Through a higher personalized search function, which can filter results by price, location, type of car, rating and other salient features, Guests are afforded the ability to bypass tedious phone calls with agents and waiting times that are associated with traditional car rental. Hosts are able to install our keyless entry devices within their vehicles at one of our authorized installers in under an hour and can effortlessly optimize their vehicle pricing and specific listing terms, thus becoming the Hosts’ “back office” for their car sharing. |

94 Competitive Advantages Zoomcar’s primary value proposition as a platform stem from the incredible depth and breadth of vehicles offered to Guests combined with an innate ability to provide consistent hyper-local convenience and flexibility across each transaction:

| ● | Convenience. The number of Host vehicles available on our platform, as well as the high geographic concentration of such vehicles, particularly in the largest urban areas in which we operate, maximizes Guest convenience by reducing travel time to vehicle pick-up locations. Even if part of an individual’s travel plan involves other modes of transportation such as plane travel, Zoomcar’s substantial presence in the urban areas where we operate make our platform a good option for seamless last-mile connectivity. Further, our strong hyper-local proximity helps unlock a litany of shorter-duration, in-city use cases that encourage more frequent platform usage and complements robust organic demand for longer-duration, out-of-city travel. Strong vehicle density also helps enhance overall demand (particularly related to augmenting demand for shorter duration weekday use cases) for car sharing in our core markets, as it dramatically helps improve the convenience of the platform. As our platform increasingly benefits from network effects, we expect to further improve listed vehicle density in our largest cities. |

| ● | Affordability. Compared to more traditional transportation offerings in our target emerging markets, such as chauffeured car services, we believe our platform offers an economically better value proposition to our Guests. For example, depending on the distance and use case, we estimate, based on our experience and customer feedback, that the cost of booking a mid-range priced car on our platform would cost significantly less than it would cost to rent a
