well this thread title will be not understand by English friends
i ll clarify The word "Dabbawala" in Hindi when literally translated, means "one who carries a box". "Dabba" means a box (usually a cylindrical tin or aluminium container), while "wala" is a suffix, denoting a doer of the preceding word[1]. The closest meaning of the Dabbawala in English would be the "lunch box delivery man". Though this profession seems to be simple, it is actually a highly specialized service in Mumbai which is over a century old and has become integral to the cultural life of this city.
the received the best management award (i heard this from on of my freind) and the one westerner invited 2 dabbawaal at a ceremony
Owing to the tremendous publicity, some of the dabbawalas were invited to give guest lectures in top business schools of India, which is very unusual. Most remarkably in the eyes of many Westerners, the success of the dabbawala trade has involved no Western modern high technology. The main reason for their popularity could be the Indian people's aversion to Western style fast food outlets and their love of home-made food.
their management way is quite different
one person carries it from home
other to the station
other to the destination where the dabba has to be received
other at the station he carries it to the end (destination)
the were given the best management award ** cool:cool:
proud to be a mumbai kar ( mumbai citizen):happy
