Mumbai’s ‘dabbawalas’ go digital to beat COVID-19
In October 2020, with the launch of digitaldabbawala.com, an official website representing all the delivery organizations, the deliverymen expanded their services from lunchboxes to last-mile delivery of digital services such as electronic registration of property rental agreements and marriages.
[Via]The dabbawalas are also partnering with 14 local restaurants to deliver food to customers. “We’re encouraging customers to order directly from the restaurants and get up to a 25% discount plus free home delivery,” said a staffer at Mumbai’s Saki Naka restaurant. “This generates employment for these men. We’re also training them to rustle up a seven-day rotating menu of homestyle lunches in our cloud kitchen for busy millennials.”
