“Local services in India is a software problem disguised as a labour problem. The only way to solve it is to make the pro the brand and let trust be enforced by code.”
“We launched in Srinagar, not Bangalore, because the hardest cities forge the better software. Real-time dispatch in the Kashmir Valley works anywhere in India.”
