Information Madness

I remember when I was doing my Engg. in Rajkot, food was the biggest concern. In India you don't have to worry about food as you can stop at any roadside stall and can eat whatever you want but again you can not have that every day. You always need home made food. Most of the collegeans and bachelors know the importance of Tiffin. 

Tiffin is an An Anglo Indian name for a meal is called Tiffin. Whether its a in-between-meals for Tamilian, light lunch prepared for working men by their wives or lunches packed by parents for children attending school. A common approach is to put rice in one box, dal in another and yet other items in the third or fourth. The other items could be breads, such as naan, vegetable curry and finally a sweet.

We used to wait for the tiffin during our college time and it was like playing a bingo game. Every day was surprise and when you are hungry, anything goes. But finding a person who delivers tiffin is a tough task. Most of the time, word of mouth publicity works but now, you can get your tiffin online.

ApnaTiffin is a website that allows you to register and start receiving tiffins. You can order Full tiffin or Mini Tiffin which includes/excludes few items and the price varies. Full tiffin is for Rs. 45 and Mini tiffin is for Rs. 35. Once you register to the site, they will call and confirm your information and you will start receving your tiffin (luch and/or dinner). The site mentions to collect money every week and accepts Cash, Check or online transfer.

I believe this site only supports Gurgaon and near areas though. I would love to have a service like this nationwide. There you go, this is a nice business idea. If you keep the business process and quality in good shape, you can surely beat the Mumbai Dabbawala.
