USA Students Spend Day As Mumbai Dabbawalas

MUMBAI, INDIA - JANUARY 7: Students from USA checking tiffin boxes during the second sorting as they spend a day with the Mumbai Dabbawalas trying to decode their delivery management at Churchgate on January 7, 2016 in Mumbai, India. Some 5,000 dabbawalas dole out over 200,000 home cooked meals a day, picking up the tiffins in the morning from women at home and delivering them to offices and schools. The large majority of the dabbawalas are semi-literate or illiterate, mostly hailing from small villages near the city of Pune in Maharashtra state. Even after this, they had developed a code system that never fails. Their delivery system has been awarded a six sigma level of efficiency. That means they make around one mistake in every six million deliveries. (Photo by Arijit Sen/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)
