Door steps is a freelance self-employed construct similar to the employee structure of Uber. With self-employed, overheads are majorly cut allowing for a 97 percent discount on home selling. This is popular agency for obvious reasons, that the clients are saving massive amounts of money. This results in being profitable for Ruparelia as well as there is almost no overhead, which results in lots of profit. This business also has a social impact as it prevents monopolization or price gauging from occurring and challenges the competition.

This exemplifies that he is willing to take risk, which is often a necessary evil if you want to be a successful entrepreneur.
