MUMBAI: The city's dabbawalas may just soon be dispatching couriers and parcels but even so along with the present task of turning in tiffins within the city. Spokesperson of Mumbai Dabbawala Association, Subhash Talekar, said they're in a complicated stage of finalising a new undertaking to ship parcels within the city.
"The main aim of this project is to increase our members' income. In their free time they can opt for this as we can deliver in the shortest possible time as compared to companies involved in this area," Talekar said.
He said the deal can be finalised in 15 days after as some small issues need dialogue with the members.
"We have to see whether we will do this service (couriers and parcels) after delivery of tiffins or before that as our core business is delivery of 'dabbas'. We are also discussing the rates," he said, adding that the association is in dialogue with an organization for the undertaking.
