    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 possible, so that Hosts can quickly create new accounts, add vehicle listings
and generate income from bookings. Following are key elements of the benefits our platform provides to Hosts:

    ●
    Income Generation.
    Our platform represents a marketplace of engaged Guests to which Hosts gain access when they complete our on-boarding process. Instead
    of leaving vehicles idle, car-owners in the emerging markets in which we operate can monetize underutilized assets in a process designed
    to be seamless and frictionless for Hosts. As illustrated by the example set forth
