Bombaywala "Meals Ready"
I was talking to Preethi today abt a bunch stuff ... and we hit upon the topic of Amazon vs TCS and stuff like that. I started boasting, as usual and as expected, about Amazon and its great innovations and all...
well ok this is a fact.. Amazon was awarded for 2 consecutive years for the best design and implementation of intelligent and most effecient supply chain/inventory management system.
Our fullfilment center is amongst or the top in the US. The only other for us being Dell , aslo for its effecient inventory management/supply chain management system.
well..apart from..this.. we also started talking abt this wonderfull such system ..perphaps so far the best.. nowhere but in our very "Mumbai hai mere jaan!!"...
I learnt from from X-roomie before that there was this "bombaywala lunch delivery" system.. wherein their task or business was to deliver home made lunch meals. Please note that.. they are not like our Saravana Bhavan hotels.. they actually collect lunch from individual houses (yeah that's right they come to your door desk... "scheduled picked" as FedEx or DHL calls) .. and deliver it to their respective husband at office or children at work...(and yeah ofcourse the same day...within few hours...basically..!!)
It seems they have been doing this for more than 20 or 30 years...now.. and guess what.. record.. not even once have they failed!! not even once they have mis-matched the food and delivered to the wrong food parcel to the wrong person.. !!!
Mumbai hai mere jaaan.!!!
also heard that the owner.. now a bigshot also recieved great recognition ..even from queen elizebeth it seems .. donno if thats true.. but I think this by itself..is a great achievement
