Zoomcar, India’s top peer-to-peer car-sharing platform, is partnering with Google Cloud to bring Generative AI and Machine Learning into the heart of its operations. This collaboration is designed to improve the overall user experience, from how guests book vehicles to how hosts onboard, while also ensuring safety and trust at scale.
This tech-forward partnership comes at a time when Zoomcar is already experiencing strong financial and operational growth. During FY24–25, the company achieved a 44% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. Moreover, the contribution margin hit an all-time high of 47%, translating to nearly $10 in contribution per booking. These financial milestones reflect the successful implementation of AI-driven automation, streamlined customer experiences, and operational excellence all of which Zoomcar now aims to scale further through its partnership with Google Cloud.

Over the last three months, Zoomcar has deployed intelligent AI agents across the platform using Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Gemini models. These tools have already started to deliver measurable improvements in user satisfaction, operational efficiency, and platform reliability.
One standout feature introduced through this collaboration is Host Assist, an AI-powered assistant designed to simplify and expedite the host onboarding process. Built using Gemini Flash 2.0 and based on a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework, Host Assist offers 24/7, policy-aware guidance to new hosts. As a result, Zoomcar has already seen a 30% reduction in the average onboarding time. Hosts can now get instant answers to their questions without waiting for live support, enhancing convenience and confidence.
Additionally, Zoomcar is developing a Host Intelligence Engine to provide hosts with data-driven insights and actionable recommendations. By analyzing behavior patterns and benchmarking performance, this engine offers personalized feedback starting with Pricing Insights to help hosts maximize earnings and long-term value.

To improve guest satisfaction and reduce cancellations, Zoomcar uses Google Cloud’s Gemini models to analyze conversations between hosts and guests. This enables the platform to identify the root cause of cancellations accurately and take corrective action swiftly. These insights help improve host accountability and, in turn, enhance repeat booking rates.
At the same time, Zoomcar is boosting its fraud detection efforts with an AI-powered engine built on insights from its Customer Data Platform (CDP). By analyzing encrypted identity data, KYC documents, and facial recognition inputs, the system flags suspicious activities in real time. This helps keep the platform safe and builds trust with hosts.
“Generative AI is transforming industries,” said Sashi Sreedharan, Managing Director at Google Cloud India. “Zoomcar exemplifies how businesses can harness AI to build smarter, more personalized customer experiences.”
Vishal Ramrakhyani, Zoomcar’s Head of Product & Engineering, added, “Our goal is to bring GenAI into practical, everyday applications that benefit both our users and internal teams. With Google Cloud’s support, we’re embedding intelligent AI and ML models directly into our workflows delivering commercial impact while deepening trust across our marketplace.”
