Dabbawalas have a long history in Mumbai. Despite their seemingly insignificant position as food carriers, they are an integral part of Mumbai’s identity. They provide a delicious and fresh lunch to the city’s growing workforce. A London firm that debuted a tiffin service in the midst of this was inspired by the dabbawala concept.
Startup DabbaDrop
The successful zero-waste strategy used by Mumbai served as inspiration for the startup DabbaDrop, which forgoes using single-use plastic containers for food packaging. A video that is going viral on the internet shows the UK-based company using traditional Indian steel tiffin boxes that are packed with rice, mixed vegetables, and paneer sabzi. Furthermore, the meal is plant-based. In addition, they use cargo bikes to convey the cloth-wrapped steel lunch boxes.
