Documented cause
Zoomcar was India's leading self-drive car rental platform, pioneering peer-to-peer vehicle sharing. After going public on Nasdaq via SPAC in 2023, the company faced a crisis: thousands of car hosts reported unpaid earnings, platform quality declined, customer complaints surged, and the stock collapsed 95%+ from its SPAC price. Nasdaq issued delisting notices in 2024.
Lesson
“In peer-to-peer marketplaces, the supply side (hosts, drivers, sellers) must be paid reliably and promptly. Delayed supplier payments are an existential risk — not an operational inconvenience. The moment hosts stop trusting payment, they remove supply.”
