Speakers

Delivering meals might not sound so cutting edge, but the runners of Mumbai, popularly called "Dabbawallahs", are a huge phenomenon. From hep management gurus to Prince Charles, everyone has marveled at their efficiency. One of the few organizations in the world to achieve a Six Sigma rating, their runners use a hugely complicated combination of color, symbol coding and precision timing to pick up more than 1,70,000 lunches from the suburbs every working day and deliver them to offices, as well as schools and colleges. Though the work sounds simple, it is actually a highly specialized trade that is over a century old and which has become integral to Mumbai's culture.

Mr. Raghu Megde (President) and Mr. Gangaram Talekar (Secretary), Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association (The Mumbai Dabbawallahs) will be two of the speakers at Opus this year and will talk about the efficiency of their supply chain.

The other speakers who will address the seminar participants include: -

Mr. Rakesh Rajora, Vice President, Accenture

Mr. Ravind Mithe, Chief Consultant (Operations), ECS

Mr. Syed, Miebach Logistics Group

Mr. Pradeep Jadhav, Manager, CHAINalytics

Mr. Sameer Shukla, Bristlecone Consulting
