The dabbawalas, for their impeccable lunch delivery system, have been studied at Harvard's Business School as the subject: Mumbai's Models of Service Excellence. Today, the dabbawalas are suffering financially during the COVID-19 lockdown. Funds are low and they need our help. So, actor Kunal Kapoor has come forward to do his bit.
