Pandemic effect: Dabbawalas of Mumbai plan new ventures
- 4 years ago
Failing to kickstart their iconic tiffin service after the coronavirus-induced lockdown, the famous dabbawalas of Mumbai are planning new ventures. One of these ventures includes home delivery of fresh vegetables directly from farms. Of the 5,000 registered dabbawalas, only 450 members are working. Pre-Covid, each dabbawala used to deliver 20-25 tiffins a day. The number has now come down to five.
