Mumbai - Economic Powerhouse of India
Mumbai is the financial, trading and industrial centre of India. Known as Bombay before 1996, Mumbai is strategically located between the financial centers of Dubai and Singapore. Mumbai is also the headquarters of major corporations and multinationals operating in India. It is the first port of call for international companies seeking an entry into the lucrative Indian markets. Tech savvy Mumbaikars are amongst the richest in India. Mumbai leads in introducing global trends and technologies to the rest of India, and is thus a fitting venue for a trade boosting forum of AV professionals.
