The Opportunity

Taxi drivers and small commercial vehicle operators in Nigeria (and similar markets) face volatile fuel prices with zero advance warning. The article shows a driver checking prices twice in one weekend, losing margins to intra-day spikes. There is no coordinated mechanism for small operators to pool demand, negotiate bulk rates, or receive price alerts β€” they buy reactively at pump prices.

Market Sizeβ‚Ή850 Cr addressable market β€” Nigeria alone has ~500,000 taxi operators spending β‚Ή50,000-80,000/month on fuel each; similar crisis markets (Kenya, Ghana, Egypt) add another 1.
Why NowGST registration not required below β‚Ή20L revenue (first year likely exempt).
