The famous dabbawallahs of Mumbai

The dabbawallahs, or ‘tiffin wallahs’ of India run a lunchbox-delivery-and-return system that delivers hot
lunches (tiffin) from homes and restaurants to people at work all over the country, especially in Mumbai.
The lunchboxes are picked up from homes in the late morning, delivered using bicycles and/or by train, and
then returned empty in the afternoon. Dabbawallahs are also used by meal suppliers in Mumbai, who pay
them to take lunchboxes with ready-cooked meals from central kitchens to customers and back.

The dabbawallah service dates back to 1890 in Bombay (now Mumbai), when Mahadeo Havaji Bachche
started a lunch delivery service with about a hundred men. Nowadays, there are thousands of dabbawallahs,
who interestingly all tend to come from a small group of villages near Pune.

The word dabbawallah means one who carries a box. Dabba comes from Persian and means ‘a box’
(usually a cylindrical tin or container) while wallah is a suffix, meaning a ‘doer’ or ‘holder’ (of the
preceding word). The closest meaning of dabbawallah in English would be ‘tiffin box delivery man’.
Needless to say, the system is very popular with hungry office workers.

The 4,500 to 5,000 dabbawallahs who deliver lunches are extremely efficient, delivering up to 250,000
lunches each day and hardly ever making a mistake. This fact has attracted the interest of business schools
around the world, such as Harvard, which did a study of the business model. It relies largely on the fact that
dabbawallahs have fantastic memories!

The dabbawallahs have become so famous that there is a Bollywood film about them. The 2013 film The
Lunchbox is based on the dabbawallah service. Have you seen it?

____ 1. A ‘dabbawallah’ is a delivery man.

____ 3. The dabbawallahs all come from Mumbai.

____ 4. Harvard studied the dabbawallah system.
