  • MUMBAI...

    • Mumbai is re-floating itself faster than any other Indian city, it has the highest GDP in South, West or Central Asia and is home to some impudently priced real-estate. Crorepatis (millionaires) mix with ‘slum dogs’ and the dreams of Bollywood starlets are made and deflated quicker than you can say ‘action!’  

      Already spilling over with seekers and dreamers, by 2015 it is predicted Mumbai will be the world’s most populous city (it is currently estimated at 16 million, but is widely believed to be much higher). It is the fashion capital of India and has more sparkly, stealth-wealth types – with matching super-size lifestyles – than anywhere else in this giant country.

      Here, every night is party night in Mumbai and glamour dazzles every strata of society, from the cricket super-stars to the Bollywood lovelies and their entourages to the city’s young fashion designers, artists and socialites. Celebrity spotting in this city is infectious, once inside a Mumbai bar or club, you’ll soon be joining in, rubbernecking with the best of them to see who’s just walked in.
