From School-Boy To Entrepreneur
Tilak is no other than any teenager in India. He is a typical 8th grader at Garodia International School in Mumbai, who still complains about his father, Mr. Vishal Mehta, coming home from the office late. It was not until one day when an incident occurred, where Tilak wanted a few books from another end of the city urgently. He couldn’t ask his father as he came home tired after a day’s work. So, Mehta was left with no options but to wait for another day and got amazed when his father told him that the courier charges to deliver the book would cost even more than the book itself! Tilak got the inspiration from The Dabbawallas, whose swiftness and efficiency to deliver food items across the city, which is always on time and is very cheap. Mehta wanted to use this network chain to parcel even the non-food items across the town.
