As we all know, the dabbawalas are a consequential part of Mumbai’s societal fabric. Alternately known as the lunchpail-man, a dabbawala makes for an integral part of the very hustle and bustle that Mumbai itself is associable with. Steering more than a 100-year old organization, these dabbawalas are mainly responsible for collecting freshly cooked lunch from residences and delivering them to the respective offices—employing varied modes of transport including bicycles and local trains.
Onism’s Dabbawala Tours take you through the intriguing lives of dabbawalas, characterized by utmost discipline and dedication. These men have the impeccable track record of delivering faultless services for more than a century – braving the climatic extremities like the heat, winds and the rains.
