Problem He Faced

It was 2017, when He forgot some of his books in his Uncle's place, and needed them urgently on the day when he sat for his studies. He needed them badly but no one was there to get them up. His father, who was arrived on late night, that day, was tired of his entire day works was not in a position to get them from the end of the city. This was the turning point from where this idea flourished inside the young mind that why not to come up with service across the city, that could ensure the same day delivery of the goods.

Solution He found

The idea was to carry the papers and small goods across the city and guarantee the intraday delivery of the same. He discussed the idea with his father.

Birth Of Papers And Parcels

“I was thinking about this for days and when I saw a dabbawala in my building, the idea for Papers N Parcel struck. I always marvelled at the swiftness and the efficiency of the dabbawala’s food delivery network, and I wondered if the network could be used to allow deliveries of even non-food items.” Young Tilak found the Dabbawala's network, the best source of delivering goods across the city. He discussed the idea with their President and convinced him to execute this Add-on to with their current Dabba service parallelly. The beta test was successful and thus 'Papers and Parcels' was born.
