“Things were running smoothly before the pandemic. Earlier I would deliver around 40 dabbas and would earn Rs. 20,000. But now we are facing immmense difficulties, I am not able to provide food for my children, don’t know when will our suffering end.” says Vitthal Raundhal, a dabbawala from Mumbai.

Since 1890, nearly 2 lakh Mumbaikars have received their lunch boxes from the Mumbai Dabbawala. However, this iconic symbol of Mumbai’s steely resiliance is on the verge of extinction post Covid.
