Zoomcar, a leading marketplace for self-drive car sharing, has unveiled a new unified app designed to enhance the car-sharing experience for both Guests and Hosts. This app consolidates the functionalities of Zoomcar’s previous dual-app system into a single platform, streamlining operations and introducing over 10 feature upgrades.
Key Features and Enhancements:
Unified App Experience: The new app merges the functionalities of the previous Guest and Host apps, allowing users to seamlessly switch between booking cars and managing listings. This integration caters to the significant overlap where over 40% of Guests are also car owners.
Enhanced Guest Features: Guests will enjoy a more efficient booking process with a catalog of top-rated cars and a new 'Guest Favourites' section highlighting frequently booked and highly rated vehicles. This feature aims to simplify the car selection process with reliable reviews.
Improved Host Controls: Hosts benefit from enhanced management tools, including the ability to oversee multiple car listings from a single tab, monitor real-time rankings, and set preferences for booking durations. New Hosts can also opt for GPS tracker and keyless entry device installations upon signing up.
Hiroshi Nishijima, CEO of Zoomcar, remarked, "We've been listening closely to our Hosts and have meticulously designed the unified app to offer more control and encourage car sharing as a growing business in India. The launch aligns with the rising demand for the Independence Day long weekend.” Vishal Ramrakhyani, Head of Engineering at Zoomcar, added, "Our team has focused on customer feedback to develop an app that integrates all necessary functionalities for Guests and Hosts. Features like 'Guest Favourites' and streamlined listing controls are designed to enhance user experience."

Oracle Hospitality has been recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Hospitality Property Management Systems (PMS) 2025 Vendor Assessment, for the second time following its initial recognition in 2022.
The report commended Oracle for its consistent delivery against its roadmap, noting the company’s track record in providing planned updates, enhancements, and new functionalities to hotel clients worldwide. Oracle’s OPERA Cloud PMS was highlighted for addressing challenges faced by hotels across geographies, market segments, and property sizes.

It also reflects the trust our thousands of hotel customers place in us to drive revenue growth and ensure smooth operations.”
The IDC MarketScape evaluation assessed vendors on integration and partnerships, user experience, innovation, data reporting, guest engagement, flexibility, and scalability. The study noted that OPERA Cloud supports hotels from midscale to luxury and resort segments, offering customizable workflows, role-based personalization, and functionality to ensure smooth guest experiences from check-in to checkout.
Dorothy Creamer, Senior Research Manager, IDC, said, “Oracle demonstrates a strong strategy to help hoteliers centralize operations while maintaining accessibility and enterprise-grade security.”

In today’s hospitality landscape, technology is no longer an afterthought – it is the heartbeat of exceptional guest experiences. At the recently launched Marriott Vashi, EYTE Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has redefined what it means to blend comfort, convenience, and innovation. As trusted AV, IT, Acoustics, and IoT consultants with a presence in Singapore, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad, EYTE has delivered a seamlessly integrated technology ecosystem that enhances every touchpoint of the guest journey.
A Vision of Immersive Hospitality
From the moment guests step into Marriott Vashi’s lift lobby, they are greeted by a carefully orchestrated audio-visual environment. Strategically placed ceiling speakers set a warm, inviting tone, while dynamic signage displays deliver real-time updates and brand messaging. Centralized AV racks ensure all systems operate flawlessly, reflecting Marriott’s commitment to sophistication and reliability.
Enhancing Every Space – Tailored to Function & Mood
Whether it’s the soothing ambient music in the restaurant, high-brightness LED walls in the ballroom, or precision audio in the pre-function area, EYTE’s designs adapt to the unique atmosphere of each zone. Meeting rooms are equipped with dual high-resolution displays, cable cubbies for clutter-free connectivity, and beamforming microphones for crystal-clear hybrid conferences. Even the gym, spa, and terrace pool benefit from thoughtful technology integration – from motivational soundscapes to weather-resistant outdoor speakers.
Smart Solutions for Modern Hospitality
EYTE’s work goes beyond hardware. Intelligent volume controls, Bluetooth-enabled audio streaming, and synchronized BGM systems across connected spaces make managing the guest experience effortless for hotel staff. Floor boxes, discreetly embedded in lounges and event spaces, ensure power and AV connections are always accessible yet invisible, preserving Marriott Vashi’s refined aesthetic.
Driving Brand Experience Through Technology
By creating immersive atmospheres, streamlining communication, and supporting seamless event execution, EYTE has helped Marriott Vashi elevate its service standards. This project demonstrates how smart technology design can not only meet but anticipate guest needs – from the energy of a ballroom gala to the tranquility of a spa retreat.
EYTE Technologies, led by Managing Director Abdul Waheed, has transformed Marriott Vashi’s guest experience with a fully integrated audio-visual, IT, and IoT system. Their tailored solutions, combining innovation with comfort, set a new benchmark for hospitality technology in India.
EYTE Technologies’ expertise proves that in luxury hospitality, technology isn’t just a support system it’s a signature of the brand. With projects like Marriott Vashi, they continue to set new benchmarks for integrated hospitality technology across India and beyond.
