1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The millennial are the people who are most eager to use technologies. With every phase oof
life these people use technology to make their work easy, simple and fast. Since the
inception of cheap taxi, these particular groups of customers have been the top targeted
customers of companies. Along with the cab business car aggregators also emerged in the
market
Last year our finance minister suggested that the young generation has been more inclined
towards the cab services and resulting into a bad impact on our economy. Later this year
the government has proposed new motor vehicle act which has imposed a large number of
fines over traffic violation. Connecting the dots I think that the impact of this new motor
vehicle act on youth’s preference over cab services can be a good study to be done.

6. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The sample respondents may not represent the entire population. The study is limited by
time and financial resources. The respondents may be casual while answering the query.
The consumer behaviour is dynamic in nature and it tough to make robust conclusions from

the government should focus on their preferences. India as a nation has a large part of its

11. INTRODUCTION TO RENTAL CAB INDUSTRY
9.1 History
The primary vehicle rental business was begun in 1912 in Germany by the name of Sixt
which is as yet one of the biggest vehicle rental organizations in the World. At that point in
1916, Joe Saunders began leasing Ford's Model T and a neighborhood vehicle rental
endeavor was set up in Nebraska. The fundamental thought was to give private
transportation to nearby and visiting representatives with the goal that they can move
around in solace and security for their excursions for work. This was what begun the US
vehicle rental business and the rest is history. In 2016 the Global vehicle rental industry was
worth 58.26 billion dollars and is relied upon to develop to over 124.56 billion by 2022. Until
2010 and 2011 the vehicle rental business in India was absolutely unregulated and chaotic.
Individuals depended on the hyperlocal taxi and taxi aggregators for going on outstation
trips. Ola began intra-city taxi administration in 2010 and turn into the principal significant
player in the vehicle rental business in India.
Organizations like Avis, Carzonrent and so on were at that point in India for a long while
however were not generally perceived as self-drive vehicle rental organizations. In 2013
Zoomcar appeared and that is the point at which oneself drive vehicle business began to get
steam. Every single other organization additionally pushed in for a greater piece of this
rewarding business that was as yet undiscovered in a nation as extensive as India. These
self-drive vehicle rental organizations came in to fill the hole for individuals who wanted to
head out to far away places however didn't possess a vehicle. Today there are various
vehicle rental organizations in India taking into account oneself driving just as the driver
driven crowd making it one of the quickest developing businesses in India. As per a report
the vehicle rental industry in India is developing at the compound yearly development pace
of 35% and is relied upon to quicken further. It is relied upon to be worth more than INR
1000 billion by 2022.

9.3 Significant Players in the vehicle rental business in India
The absolute greatest players in the vehicle rental industry in India are Zoomcar, Avis,
Myles, Mychoize, Revv and so forth. There are in absolute 10 vehicle rental organizations in
India that have sorted out the vehicle rental business in India and are carrying imaginative
approaches to produce client interest keeping consumer loyalty, wellbeing and
administration at first concern. Organizations like Avis and Zoomcar represent the greatest
portion of the vehicle rental business in India.
9.3.1 Avis
Avis entered the car rental business in India in 1999 and has been since the best car rental
company in India. It provides chauffeur drive services as well as self drive cars on rent
offering a wide range of cars from as small as a Swift to as luxurious as a Mercedes E Class. It
pioneered the feature of free car delivery and collection for self-drive customers keeping in
mind the customer expectations with the purpose of providing a seamless service. 8
location for self-drive and 19 locations for chauffeur drive across India gives Avis a pan-India
presence making it a preferred choice for its customers. In the words of Mr. Sunil Gupta, MD
& CEO of Avis India “The self-drive phenomenon is popular in the West and is rapidly
catching up in India. We provide the option of self-drive which enables customers to break
away from the necessity of exploring conventional tourist spots in the presence of large
groups and allows them to explore places independently.”
9.3.2 Zoomcar
It was started in 2013 and is one of the leading car rental companies in India operating in 27
cities across the country. It offers a huge variety of cars and a few services. It has introduced
a Zap service under which a person can subscribe a car for the period of 6 months to 36
months without any other hassles of owning a car.
19
9.3.3 Myles
It is a car rental company launched by Carzonrent in 2013. It has the same model of renting
cars for self-drive wherein a user can rent cars like hatchbacks to rugged SUVs for a few
hours or days. Myles supports a platform wherein both fleet operators and an individual
who owns a car, can partner with Myles and share their cars on Myles digital platform.
9.3.4 MyChoize
Started in 2016 by ORIX, a Japanese car rental company, Mychoize is present in 13 cities
across India. It also provides chauffeur drive services for its users with the options of
doorstep delivery or airport transfers.
20
0.8% in 2017 which shows that there is a ton of potential for all the players in the business
to develop. A huge populace is as yet unaware of the idea of leasing vehicles for self-drive
reason and that is the place these organizations can bounce in to make mindfulness among
the individuals for this idea and subsequently can quickly grow their client base. On the off
chance that all the numbers and projections are to be dealt with, at that point the vehicle
rental space is clearly the spot to be for the financial specialists and new organizations.

INTRODUCTION TO CAR AGGREGATOR INDUSTRY
22
10. INTRODUCTION TO CAR AGGREGATOR INDUSTRY
10.1 History
"Taxi" inspires nostalgic pictures of the dark and-yellow Premier Padmini (presently Santro
and i10) vehicles for Mumbaikars or the omnipresent yellow Ambassadors for Kolkatans. For
a considerable lot of us who have seen the greatness long periods of old fashioned taxis,
possibly a few decades prior, will recollect that these taxis were the very life saver of urban
areas. They would take you to places you were unable to venture out to by transport or
didn't have the foggiest idea where it was found. The polite "taxiwala" would wrench down
the meter and off you'd go!
In any case, all can't be well with something for a really long time. Contending affiliations,
monopolistic disposition, helpless assistance and refusal to offer types of assistance in the
long run made an upset client base. This was the sparkle that touched off an elective taxi
administration. Better composed taxi administration with better rates and significant level
of client support appeared as Radio Cabs toward the start of the new thousand years.
23
10.2 Business Model
Car Aggregators Car aggregators, both Uber and Ola call themselves are technology
companies instead of the traditional transportation companies which will exclude them
from all the regular laws. They will act as an interface between the customers and the
drivers. At the moment they have restricted booking only through the mobile application
but earlier they were taking it through the call center and online booking via website also.
AGGREGATOR
In the old days, players like Mega Cabs and Fast Track Taxi began activities with their own
little armadas, with drivers as workers. Travelers could book rides through calls and
24
installment was done in real money. In 2006, different players like Meru Cabs, Easy Cabs
and Savaari showed up not too far off. They took on drivers as "supporters" who put a store
with the organization. The organization would purchase a vehicle, train the drivers in
delicate aptitudes and charge a fixed sum from them every day. Thusly, the driver needed to
manage the expense of fuel, while support of the vehicle was dealt with by the organization.
A few organizations totally claimed the vehicle all through its lifetime, while others, as Easy
Cab, had a framework wherein following five years of constant driving, the vehicle turned
into the property of the driver.
10.4 Reason of failure earlier
Nonetheless, for evident reasons, this was never a suitable and versatile method of working
together and the main period of possessing the whole armadas of taxis subsided down
significantly, albeit a few organizations are still in business in the wake of tweaking their
plans of action.
10.5 New Start
2010 denoted a noteworthy year for the taxi business when Ola entered the scene with its
armada accumulation model. This lean plan of action attracted numerous drivers who
possessed vehicles to join the stage to offer administrations. TaxiForSure joined the
temporary fad in 2011 and Uber showed up on Indian shores two or after three years. The
remarkable development of these organizations is complicatedly attached to the portable
insurgency in India. Riders could basically pull out their cell phones, enter the application
and book a taxi. The genuine ride-hailing upset was conceived.
10.6 The period of Ola and Uber
From the innovative point of view, pioneers of the ride-flagging down taxi industry have
accomplished the "brilliant signify" by using the developing impact of cell phone versatility
and the hole made by the issues of the sloppy taxi division in the nation. Their client base
expanded exponentially, as flagging down a taxi through a portable application was alluring
and invigorating to the regular worker. Legit valuing, GPS area and wellbeing highlights were
different attractors to these administrations. The day by day suburbanite was cheerful.
25
As the ignoramus capability of this sort of administration and have costed in a huge number
of dollars in these endeavors, the most recent being the near $10 million individual
speculation by Flipkart prime supporter Sachin Bansal, and $300 from Korean Auto goliath
Hyundai Motors, in Ola. Uber, then again, has raised capital as well and is prepared to
languish misfortunes over an "uncertain timeframe" in light of the fact that it sees the
capability of the colossal market size.
It is critical that the sorted out taxi showcase is still in its early stages and the aggregator
organizations like Ola and Uber contain a negligible 4–5% of the market as far as various
vehicles. The disorderly taxi benefits the nation over still record for around 90% of the
market and radio taxis and offshoots like Meru and Savaari make up the rest of.
That Uber is confronting an existential emergency in its center market, the US, is very
notable. Interior strategy issues are being intensified by the thwarted expectation of drivers
who are scarcely bringing in enough cash to stay manageable.
Ola, then again, is attempting to gain from the errors of Uber by keeping itself agile and
proceeding to maintain a strategic distance from these issues. Be that as it may, drivers
aren't excessively content with them either. Driving for these organizations appeared to be
a worthwhile offer when everything began. Be that as it may, with sitting back, the spotlight
has now moved on expanding gainfulness. Drivers are paying more commissions, paying for
fuel and for the support of the vehicle and are additionally up to speed in the endless loop
of low admissions that organizations are charging from riders in an offer to extend their
business sectors.

FINDINGS
27
12. Findings
The entire survey gave me the complete understanding of the customer preference and
their behavior. With the help of the questionnaire I am presenting the findings here with the
report.
11.1 Age
As the survey only focused on the preference of the millennial thus the age group is also
limit to 21 to 27 which are the young minds of the generation. Thus in my research the
highest participating age group people were of the age 23. Thus this are the people which
are more into new jobs thus are most suitable for the survey.
11.2 Gender
Out of 50 participants of the survey mostly males guys showed more interest and thus out
of the total survey 72 % of male guys contributed. The rest of the 26 % were the female
participants.
28
11.3 Awareness
As the study was focused on the impact of the new motor vehicle act. Therefore the particpants
should be well known with this concept. Hence out of total survey guys maximum crowd was well
awared with the concept of the motor vehicle act. The furtheer survey focuses on the crowd with
pre knowldege of the concept.
11.4 Preference
We will check the level of preference for the use of cab and own vehicle in the set of these
questions.
11.5 Acceptance
The level of acceptance for the option of the cab is checked by the help of this question. In
the response lot almost all the people are open for the use of the cab. Thus the data used
for the purpose of analysis if to the point.
29
11.6 Change in travelling frequency
After the implementation of motor vehicle act 2 % of people have shifted from most
frequent travelers to lower categories. This shows that the act has created a sense of fear in
the minds of the customer.
30
11.7 Fear
The introduction of this act has created a fear of penalty in the minds of the common
people. Especially the millennial feel it that way. These set of questions shows the real
picture of it.
31
Chapter 12
CONCLUSION
32
13. CONCLUSION
The research shows that after the implementation of new motor vehicle act millennial have
lowered their frequency of travelling by 2 % and have moved to less frequency of travel. The
act has also created a fear of fine in the minds of millennial which in a way is not good for
the society. Out of our total surveys 60 % of people says that new motor vehicle act is
responsible for their travel by cab. The new motor vehicle act has given a large profit to the
cab aggregator business but the automobile industry will be badly affected by such
measures. Therefore the government should bring some of the awareness for the millennial
to hep them understand the act to get over the fear of fines.
33
Chapter 13
RECOMMNDATIONS
34
14. RECOMMENDATIONS
Government should run a awareness campaign to remove the fear of traffic fines from the
mind of millennial.
The automobile industry need to come up with new measures to fight against the fear of
customers this fear is making the customers go away with own vehicle.
