wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThrough my experience in the delivery sector, I realized that the real challenge was not creating a new application or launching another delivery company, but rather the absence of a technology infrastructure capable of connecting all stakeholders efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">He added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow
