‘Management Guru’ (2008) comments on how timing, speed and efficiency take on an Indian dimension as workers’ meals travel from their homes, through an intricate web of deliverymen (dabbawallah), to the workers for lunch.
Here, Shende incorporates timepieces to emphasize the error-free and punctual services that these dabbawallahs provide for thousands of people. Shende has replaced the traditional Tiffin carrier—the usual lunch box—with what he calls a “hungry stomach,” a humorous reference to the famished stomachs of the workers, as well as a statement on the poverty in India.
