The concept for Suppli was inspired more than a decade ago by a documentary Megan saw on the Tiffin lunch system (better known in India as "dabbawalas"). It's an intricate lunchbox delivery and return system that delivers hot lunches from homes and restaurants to people at work in India.

Megan pitched the concept of a similar system for takeout to her friends at a dinner party and was met with mixed reviews. Her friends commented how convenient "those black plastic single-use containers" were; they could just throw them out after eating. Megan felt reusables was still very much the way forward, but it was clear the market wasn't ready.

Fast forward to 2019: Megan was enjoying dinner with the same group of friends, but this time the narrative was different. They were all lamenting, unprompted by Megan, about the amount of single-use packaging waste that came with their meal kit delivery services. It seemed the market was finally ready for Suppli.
