"I will share the 'mantra' for the success of Mumbai's dabbawallas. I will also speak on time and supply management and accuracy in delivery," Talekar told PTI here today.
In the conference, a case study on the history of dabbawallas and their day-to-day operation with focus on the aspect of 'On time delivery, Every time', will also be presented, he added.

The conference would highlight innovation in leadership that involved advanced decision-making and execution skills to obtain cross-functional responsibilities, as they need to drive excellence as multi-faceted leaders, he added.
