Hectic work lives and the breaking of household gender stereotypes gave rise to on-demand home services which, now, has become a huge profit churning industry in itself. It grew with the ever-increasing demand for all types of home services ranging from getting your house cleaned to health and fitness merely at the touch of your mobile phone screen.
