What To Expect
Visit with the Mumbai Dabbawalas - an organization operating a 100 years old delivery system that collects hot food in lunch boxes from the residences of customers and delivers them to their respective offices. The system operates with great precision but without computer technology. Dabbawalas use various modes of transports such as bicycles and operate irrespective of weather and climate. Following, visit the Dhobi Ghats, Mumbai’s famous ‘laundry’ service, row upon row of concrete wash pens, each fitted with its own flogging stone. Clothes are still cleaned manual here.
Highlights
• Dabbawala as a Unique Institution
• Logistical Supply Accuracy
• Ancientness of the Dhobi Ghats
• Clothes Cleaning Mechanism
• The People behind both Services
