Rama is a Lawyer and works in real estate segment as a consultant. She works in a small set up with just one assistant and a small table space in business center. On last Friday she got a call from her assistant that the important agreement typed on the stamp paper is not there in the file she was carrying to the client. Now Rama herself was scheduled to have a meeting with another important client. It was out of the way for her to deliver document to her assistant and then head to her next client. Assistant spoke to the client and client agreed that they can send the document by end of the day that day and get it back with signature immediately.

            Being a busy businessman Rama saw it very difficult to include the trip to Wanowri from her office at Kothrud any time that day. She did not want to hire a permanent office boy for this task as these situations were rare and most of her work used to be on laptop. She wished she had some help from somebody who could take the agreement to the client and get it signed.

Rajesh is founder of “Take home” a start-up which delivers home-made food to offices and homes. People can order their food via online menu available on daily basis till 10 PM previous night. Based on ordered quantity order is given to respective home chefs for cooking. Cooked food is picked up by 10 AM next morning and delivery boys take them out for deliveries at ordered places.

The biggest pain point for Rajesh is deliveries during weekends when orders spike up but deliveries are distributed across areas. If one delivery is in one building of a big complex next is 1 KM away in another complex. Also on weekends it is a bit difficult to use his entire workforce as they prefer having a day off on weekend instead of weekday. Hiring temporary workforce seems not much useful as people are not willing to work part time just for weekends. They expect part time work for whole week.
