The question here is why are we bringing our own standards down? Can IRCTC not manage nice quality of food and refreshing menu for the travelers to travel comfortably? Is it that hard for the largest rail network in the world to feed its travelers properly, while airlines charge manifold for the food and still people buy because they can, and because the food is good quality. Food sells if it is good. That is the bottom line.
But someone has found out the value of giving good food to the average traveler in Indian Railways – travelkhana.com understood the need of a quality food provider with on-seat delivery service for no extra cost. Not many players are doing this kind of great work in this area and the lacuna is efficiently filled up by web portals like travelkhana.com.
