Big Data causing evolution of new businesses


 Uber a taxi aggregator knows everything about their customers right from where I live, where I work, where I eat, where I travel, where I stay/visit and when I do all these things. Uber is one of the few entities who knows customer’s current location other than one’s wife, Apple and NSA. A lot of data Uber is generating on a daily basis about every customer which can even cause Uber starting up a new business out of its original business of selling this important information about their customers  to different other businesses such as hotels , airlines, restaurants, nightclubs, bars etc. to increase their customer base. Uber has recently tied up with Starwood hotels under “Starwood preferred guest” program under which uber customer’s data is getting shared with Starwood to drive their business and this has also helped individuals as they are getting all the offers from these businesses on the go so no need to look for them and can get the good deals from them as they can’t afford losing any customer.
