The dabbawalas – Mumbai’s OG delivery agents, might be at the cusp of a change. In a recent workshop introduced by RevolGo, Parel-based dabbawalas were powered with 8 cargo bikes that claimed to double their last-mile deliveries.
“Beyond speeding up delivery time, it also slashed off a major load of goods in transit. And with its ergonomic design, my legs don’t get tired anymore!” exclaims Mahadeo Havaji Bachche dabbawala when asked about his experience with RevolGo.
He is not alone. Ravi, a young vendor who sells coconut in Bandra East has also switched to the futuristic bike. From 7 am to 4 pm, he is on a roll serving 40-50 coconuts across a distance of 15 kilometers. Adding to the list of riders are more delivery partners from DHL, local kirana stores and more porter services.
The green venture founded in 2022 by Bandra local Amartya Raj (23), is a novel entry into the e-bike realm committed to diminishing carbon footprints and fostering environmental synergy. “We have been working with the dabbawalas for over five months now. We wanted to equip them with a tool that doesn’t disrupt their daily functioning,” Raj tells Midday.
