    What is a dabbawala ?

     

    Dabba and dabbawala are Hindi words.

    A dabba is a metal box/tiffin box which contains hot food.

    A dabbawala is the person who transports the box.

     

    This system is located in Mumbai (the biggest/largest city in India). Everyday, the dabbawala transport the food from the house/home to the office for their customers. There is a code on each dabba : a number/a letter and a specific colour to identify their destination. (A majority of the dabbawalas are illiterate : they can't read or write).
