For a nice introduction to the subject of Mumbai Dabawallahs I would strongly recommend watching "The Lunchbox" [1] starring the late Irfan Khan. A great actor tragically taken from us at a relatively young age.
Beautiful movie. Enjoy.

There's an awesome film that interestingly uses this food delivery network - The Lunchbox (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2350496/).
It stars recently passed away actor Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur (she's in Homeland), and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. They are among the finest from here. It has Max Richter's music and is on Indian Netflix (not sure about rest of the world).
