Quotes:
“A country becomes great when the people work together to make it right. You know, user feedback with continuous improvement.”
“And every day it was a hassle, right? Again, all hours and ubers, everything, they were cancelling because it was a short distance. So every day I had to go through that whole thing. And one day it happened so that I just could not take it anymore I just said ‘why do you guys do this with me every day?’ and one of the guys said ‘if it's that near why don't you walk’.”
“It is the user who actually makes the product great because they use it. They come, they give you feedback, good, bad, ugly, you go back you do your homework”
“So when we thought of solving this problem, no matter how unattractive it was, no matter how dirty the laundry was listed, we decided to take the plunge because we knew that it was a genuine problem”
