Inspiration

While walking 2 kilometers daily to my college, I noticed a recurring issue in my community. Many people urgently needed services like drivers, cooks, or plumbers, but couldn’t find someone nearby when it mattered most. At the same time, I met skilled workers eager to work but with no way to connect to potential customers. The problem wasn’t skill or demand — it was connectivity. That inspired me to build a simple platform to bridge this gap.
