The commercial capital of India – that’s what Mumbai is. There are dreams of making it India’s Shanghai - but all that is still a long way off.

To those unfamiliar with urban India, Mumbai will seem to be huge, chaotic and polluted. This prime city is synonymous of the spirit of hope and survival. A culturally and politically vibrant city, Mumbai is a happening place - arts, music, theatre, Bollywood, celebrities and mega events are the order of the day. It is home to India’s business elite. They say ‘Mumbai never sleeps’.

This unique city guide is the ideal resource for an expatriate or NRI moving to Mumbai. Frequent visitors to Mumbai will also find the eBook valuable.
