Mumbai's Dabbawalas

Ever since I read that Mumbai was a crummy place to visit, I've been being reading up on the place. Today, I found this short clip profiling the city's dabbawalas -- 5000 men who move 400,000 lunch boxes every day using only their feet, the trains, and bicycles. So efficient are the dabbawalas that Richard Branson and other business leaders have invited them to give lectures on their system!
