Perfect Harbor. Mumbai sits right on the west coast of India with a deep natural harbor that makes it perfect for ships and trade. This location helped it become so important and busy.

Culture Hub. Mumbai is the heart of India's movie industry, sometimes called Bollywood, where thousands of films get made every year. It's also the center for art, music, and all kinds of creative things.

World City Status. In 2008, Mumbai was named an alpha world city, which means it's one of the most important and connected cities on the entire planet.
