The thing about a potato, a Postman, or a taxi driver is that they are invisible, not because of being absent but because they are omnipresent and obvious. They are everywhere. And that's exactly why it is hard to distinguish one when the big question pops. Many recipes are made or ruined by potatoes' sheer presence or absence.

More so, when it is about being the potato stuffing inside a smartphone, a new-age car and of course, a computing device. It cannot be too soft or too hard. It has to be just right'. And in the right shape.

Hyper-personalised home buying and renting experiences? E-tours? E-signatures? Digital bookings? Why? How?
