Zoomcar History
American duo David Back & Greg Moran, met while studying at the University of Pennsylvania, where both graduated in 2007. After graduating, Back studied at Harvard Law School and Moran worked on energy financing projects. The pair also attended business school; Moran at the University of Southern California and Back at the Judge Business School at Cambridge University.
Back and Moran both dropped out of business school to move to India and pursue a venture in car rentals. In May 2015, Back resigned from the self-drive car rental company, and decided to move back to the US citing personal reasons.
Zoom officially launched operations in Bangalore in February 2013 using JustShareIt platform. Zoom started with $215,000 in capital and a fleet of seven cars.
Zoom initially raised capital from individual investors including Former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, Chair of the UK Institute of Directors Lady Barbara Judge, Vice-Dean of International Legal Studies at Harvard Law School William P. Alford, Wharton Statistics Chair Edward George, and the former Director of the Cambridge Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies Shai Vyakarnam. Back met Summers at Harvard University, where Back was a teaching assistant to Summers.

Zoomcar has also raised money from former Infosys CFO T.V. Mohandas Pai and his business partner Abhay Jain.
At Ford’s investor day presentation in September 2016, CEO Mark Fields described difficulties with Ford’s prior strategy in India, but commented “Our new mobility business could be a factor that plays in there. That’s why you saw us about a month ago take an equity position in Zoomcar, which is the largest car sharing service in India.”
