  • The business started in 1890 in Mumbai, one of the most densely populated cities in the world.
    There are 5000 dabbawallas.
    They share their bicycles on they make sure the dabbas get to the right destination on time.
    Many dabbawallas are illiterate, so they just write a number on the box.
    They don't use any technology but they make only 1 error in 1 million deliveries.

  • If you visit Mumbai, you will see the dabbawallas.
    They are very important in the city. They transport the lunch boxes on their heads and bikes from home to a school or an office.
    You are sure to have your home-cooked food on time.
    There are 200 000 (two hundred thousand) customers every day.
    Many personalities like Prince Charles have visited the company for a lecture.

  • The "dabba" is a bucket (a "little box" in Hindi).
    In the dabba, to put food is simple.
    A dabbawalla (person) delivers your food on a bike in the street from your home to go to school or an office (the right place) on time.
    It's home-cooked food.
