Why Mumbai?

A vibrant and colorful metropolis

Mumbai, earlier known as Bombay, is a city of paradoxes: renowned as the country’s financial nerve centre, it is an important centre of theatre, art, music and classical dance. Today the cosmopolitan population of the city consists of people from all over the country. It is an industrial metropolis as well as the textile and film capital of the country. A city steeped in tradition and a rich historical past, it is yet a city where contemporary scientific and business practices flourish. A vibrant, colourful and busy metropolis, Mumbai is the premier city in western India.
