This week we are joined by Ramachandran Muniandy of Asia Mobiliti, a mobility as a service company (MaaS).
Through this conversation we navigate the origins and the motivation to building something to better the nation. We discuss the evolution of public transportation and demand responsive transit (DRT) that scraps the timetables. A number of great points made that are highly applicable to every Founder out there.
