While giants like Uber and Ola catered to premium customers, Rapido targeted smaller opportunities with affordable and fast two-wheeler rides, ideal for navigating congested cities. By positioning itself as a bike-pooling service, Rapido bypassed regulatory challenges and provided flexible, low-risk income for part-time drivers. The startup also expanded into delivery and auto-rickshaw services, leveraging customer and driver feedback for continuous improvement. Key lessons include finding value in overlooked markets, managing cash flow with workers, and ๐ฌ๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐œ ๐œ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ.
