The Dabbawallas of Mumbai have provided a lunch delivery service since 1890, transporting 200,000 tiffin boxes (lunch containers) across the city each day with an incredible error rate of just 1 in 16 million deliveries. They use a system of alphanumeric codes to route boxes from homes to offices and back again without refrigeration or advanced technology. Run as a cooperative by over 5,000 employees, the Dabbawallas have remained successful due to their low-cost operations, customer focus, teamwork, and reliance on Mumbai's extensive rail network for transportation. Potential threats to their model include increased fast food options and changes to transportation systems.
