Entrepreneurial lessons from the Dhobi Ghat


Organized behavior

Dhobi’s and their work culture definitely needs a proper organized behavior. It may sound bizarre, but they do implement such systemized and organized behavior. It is interesting to know the way the work, they make small unique markings on each fabric and these marks have their own specifications and give an idea on who the owner is without any confusion. These clothes are being collected, washed, starched and delivered in the most organized manner.

It may sometime feel that today’s corporate sector has adapted a lot from these dhobi waalas because their existence and working style can be traced to the early 1900’s. It is never wrong to pick this lesson from the dhobi’s as their organized and prompt behavior is the basic lesson for any startup.
