The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to create an app to facilitate door-to-door delivery of products made by women`s self-help groups in Mumbai, using dabbawalas. Additionally, the corporation aims to promote and market these products by collaborating with SNDT University`s incubation centre, with whom they`ve signed an MOU for development of the app.

Prachi Jambhekar, Director (planning) BMC, said, “With about 10,000 women self-help groups in Mumbai, more than one lakh women are producing various types of goods and products of a wide variety. The planning department of BMC is taking steps to develop the app so that these products can get a better market.”
