A Day with Dabbawalas

Tiffins on the move

Mumbai

The Dabbawalas of Mumbai trace their origins to the late 19th century when a Parsi banker needed home-cooked food delivered to his office. This inspired a small group of workers to establish a lunchbox delivery service, which gradually evolved into a highly efficient system. By 1890, Mahadeo Havaji Bachche formalized the service, recruiting more Dabbawalas. Over the decades, the network expanded, relying on color-coded tiffins and a meticulous logistics system. Today, the Dabbawalas are renowned for their near-perfect accuracy, earning global recognition for their Six Sigma-rated operations, despite using minimal technology in a bustling metropolis like Mumbai.

A Day with Dabbawalas offers a hands-on experience of Mumbai’s legendary lunch delivery system. Sort tiffins at their Dadar hub, ride local trains, and deliver meals with precision. End this immersive journey with a delicious Gujarati thali, savouring the city’s authentic flavours.
