industry. His initial idea was to develop an app that connects commuters with
nearby taxi drivers, providing a convenient and efficient way to hail rides.

using the app not just for taxi rides, but also for food delivery. Recognizing this
unexpected relationship between transportation and food delivery, John began

Through further analysis, John realized that the underlying need driving both
transportation and food delivery was convenience. Customers valued the ability to
get what they wanted, whether it was a ride or a meal, quickly and easily. Armed

offering both transportation and delivery services.

the relationship between transportation and food delivery and leveraging it to meet
customers' needs for convenience, John was able to differentiate his platform from
competitors and capture a larger share of the market. His startup flourished,
