• Competition: Its difficult to replicate their supply chain network
• New entrants: Fast food joints as well as office canteens. However, since neither of these serve home food, the dabbawallas' core offering remains unchallenged.
• Bargaining power of buyers: Delivery rates are so nominal (about Rs 300 per month) that one simply wouldn't bargain any further.
• Bargaining power of sellers: minimum infrastructure and practically no technology is used, hence they are not dependent on suppliers.
• Threat of a new substitute product or service: No substitutes to home cooked food in Indian scenario, hence threat to the dabbawalla service is not an issue at least in the foreseeable future.
