BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are an electric two-wheeler retailer in India. We commenced our business operations in 2016 and our revenue from operations have been steady since then. Our Company since its incorporation had been engaged in the business of buying and selling of used four wheelers from authorised dealers of reputed automobile brands ("New Car Dealers"). As part of our pre-owned vehicle sale business, we procure used cars from New Car Dealers, who are approached by prospective customers, who wish to sell or exchange their existing vehicles for a new vehicle. Post procuring used cars through such channels, we further display them for sale at various sites/ park and sell outlets of our designated used car dealers. We act as an intermediate channel between the New Car Dealers and our designated park and sell used car lots, by supplying the used cars for sale and earning a margin during the sale of such cars. We have created a small network which undertakes every element of automobile buying from searching for a vehicle, creating buying requirements, price discovery, booking, certification to purchase and financing and doorstep delivery. In the year 2022, with the advent of electrical vehicles in India, in order to capitalise the opportunities and potential offered by the industry segment, we diversified our business operations by venturing into marketing and selling of electric vehicles and sold franchise of our brand to ten dealers during the first quarter of FY 2022, for opening and operating our stores in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Our electric vehicle business focuses on capturing the opportunity arising out of electrification of mobility in India by creating a multi-brand channel for EV two wheelers by offering franchise under our brand in the Tier - I, Tier-II and Tier-III cities. Our business model focuses on creating a dealership chain across Tier-II and Tier-III cities for setting up retail spaces which ensures high visibility and easy accessibility to customers. We focus on deepening our presence in the regions we operate in before venturing into new markets which has led us to establish brand presence in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat markets. In addition to our defined cluster-focused expansion strategy, our dealership model helps us build a chain of dealers who are residents of the region in which we operate and therefore are able to penetrate the markets through their market understanding and familiarity with the area and the target customers. This enables the target customers to identify with our brand as well as with our product portfolio and aids our understanding of the market segment and the customer demand preference. We believe that this approach also enables us to achieve significant market share and dominance in the markets we operate. We plan to continue to deepen our store network in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat; and also, gradually plan to expand our network in Rajasthan, Kerala, Karnataka and West Bengal in pursuing our defined cluster-focused expansion strategy.

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our business is subjected to various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factor" beginning on page 26 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Our results of operations and financial conditions are affected bynumerous factors including the following:
1. As part of our growth strategy, we intend to expand our business operations to geographical areas in which we have limited operation history. We cannot assure you that our expansion plans will be profitable or that such expansion will not adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
2. We significantly rely on trading and dealerships of multi-brand Electric Vehicles, and any interruption in the said business segment may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
3. We depend on our dealers for a significant portion of our revenue, and any decrease in revenues or sales from any one of our key intermediaries may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
4. Our Company is dependent on external suppliers for its product requirements. Any delay or failure on the part of the external suppliers to deliver products, may materially and adversely affect our business, profitability and reputation.
5. A large part of our revenues is dependent on a limited number of brands. The loss of any of our major brands or a decrease in the supply or volume from such brands, will materially and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
6. We operate in a competitive industry and our market share may be adversely impacted in case we do not keep ourselves appraised of the latest consumer trends and technology and if we fail to compete effectively in the markets in which we operate.
7. Our inability to promptly identify and respond to changing customer preferences or evolving trends may decrease the demand for our merchandise among our customers, which may adversely affect our business.
8. Our stores are concentrated mainly in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and we generate majority of our retail sales from our stores in these states. Any adverse developments affecting our operations in these states could have an adverse impact on our revenue and results of operations.
9. We may in the future face potential liabilities from lawsuits or claims from third parties, should they perceive any deficiency in the products we sell in our stores. We may also face the risk of legal proceedings initiated against our Company which may result in loss of business and reputation.
10. Any failure to maintain quality of customer service, products and deal with customer complaints and to further attract and retain customers and maintain consistency in customer service could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
