Business Description

Mission Zoomcar’s mission is to transform the urban mobility landscape across emerging market countries by connecting individuals with short and medium-term transportation needs with vehicle owners through the convenience of our scalable digital platform designed to provide persons seeking short-term vehicle use with personalized travel solutions while also providing entrepreneurial opportunities for vehicle owners to financially benefit from sharing their car within their community. Overview Zoomcar, headquartered in Bangalore, India, is a leading emerging market-focused online car sharing marketplace, based on the number of current vehicles and active users on our platform. Our platform enables car owners (“Hosts”) and persons in temporary need of vehicles (“Guests”) to connect and share the use of a Host’s car, made available to Guests at mutually convenient locations. Founded in 2012, our online platform facilitates mobility in emerging markets, where convenient, cost-efficient transportation options are limited. Guests on our platform browse and choose from a range of available car models, makes, sizes and price points to book vehicles listed on our platform by Hosts. Hosts, in turn, can turn underutilized vehicles into revenue-generating opportunities by sharing their cars with individuals who require a car to satisfy leisure, work or other short to medium-term transportation needs. Further, in October 2022, we entered into the Merger Agreement with IOAC, a special purpose acquisition company with securities traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market pursuant to which we agreed, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and the terms of the Merger Agreement, to engage in and consummate the Business Combination transaction. The Business Combination was consummated on December 28, 2023. Pursuant to the Business Combination, Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of IAOC, merged with Zoomcar, Inc. with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. Zoomcar, Inc. thus became a wholly owned subsidiary of IAOC and IAOC was renamed as Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. with its securities traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market. As a result of this Business Combination, the stockholders (including common and preferred stock) of Zoomcar, Inc. were issued common stock of the Company. Subsequently, on May 6, 2025, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice Nasdaq that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the Company’s common stock and public warrants after it failed to meet certain continuing listing standards within the prescribed time period. Following the delisting of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market, the Company continues to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’ common stock and public warrants have commenced trading on the OTC Markets Group trading platform at the open of trading on May 8, 2025, under the symbols “ZCAR” and “ZCARW,” respectively. The Company has applied for trading on the OTCQX Best Market for its common stock and on the OTCQB Venture Market for its public warrants. We believe our business model is particularly well-suited to emerging markets because of the transportation challenges faced by urban residents in these areas. In India, the market that Zoomcar serves, the costs of car ownership can be prohibitively high relative to average personal income levels, with less than ten percent of persons in these markets owning a car. At the same time, these individuals typically lack access to alternative transportation modalities that are sufficiently convenient or affordable. The market also has growing middle classes, rapidly urbanizing metropolitan areas, and vast numbers of young, tech-fluent citizens. In total, these overarching demographic trends all contribute to management’s estimated total addressable market for year ended March 31, 2026 in emerging markets of $186 billion, of which India accounts for $19 billion, making India the most important market for us. The opportunity around the growing total addressable market is further described under the heading “ Market Opportunity ” below. Already present in over 100 cities across India, we plan to continue evolving our platform offerings to meet Guests’ mobility needs in ways that are convenient, modern and cost-efficient, providing both transportation solutions and entrepreneurship opportunities within the communities where we operate.…
