I got to know this service from one clip shared by a friend couple of months ago. I didn't know that this system has been exist for 120 years! This successful system in getting the meal punctually all over Mumbai is no joke. Their management system was even documented and studied by many countries.
What is Dabbawala? It's a lunch delivery service. This is mainly for office workers who can enjoy cooked meal from home or specific caterer rather paying to dine at restaurant or the hassle of travelling home for a meal.
As we all know, Mumbai is a huge and one of the most populated cities in India/the world, with huge flows of traffic. Many bigger organisation throughout the world is amazed with their punctuality in delivering their service daily, whether sunny or rainy (even monsoon) day, uninterrupted. They did that via 'simple' colour coding system. The successfulness of this system is mainly due to teamwork and time management.
Food wasting is always bad. If with a little favour, we can help those less fortunate people, why not just do it? The above clips is a good practice we can contribute if you are in Mumbai, enjoying this service everyday.
