Bringing Singapore’s Hawker Centre Model to India

Interview with Jack Sim (aka "Mr. Toilet"), Founder & Director, World Toilet Organization (WTO)

In this exclusive interview, Mr. Jack Sim, Founder and Director of the World Toilet Organisation (WTO), proposes bringing Singapore’s hawker centre model to India to tackle food hygiene problems that can leave tourists with “Delhi belly” and damage the tourism industry. 

To develop the idea, WTO will partner with GIFT to bring senior leaders from business and government to study the factors behind Singapore’s success and adapt the model for India. Together, they would create a plan that local government and investors could support, underpinned by a viable business model.
