    INTRODUCTION

    A dabbawala(one who carries the box) is a person in the Indiancity of Mumbai whose job is to carry and deliver freshly made food

    from home in lunch boxes to office workers.

    Tiffin is an old-fashioned English word for a light lunch, andsometimes for the box it is carried in. Dabbawalas are sometimes

    called tiffin-wallas.

    For the efficiency of their supply chain it has been claimed thatthis virtually achieves a Six Sigma performance rating, (i.e.

    99.9999% of deliveries are made without error).

    Though the work sounds simple, it is actually a highly specializedtrade that is over a century old and which has become integral toMumbai's culture.

    The dabbawala originated when India was under British rule:

    many Indian people who worked in British companies disliked the

    British food served by the companies, so a service was set up to bring

    lunch to them in their workplace straight from their home.

    .Nowadays, Indian businessmen are the main customers for the

    dabbawalas, and the service often includes cooking as well as

    delivery.
