Mumbai The Business Capital of India

Introduction
After India introduced liberalization in 1991,
the country started dropping its frugal,
socialist image and beliefs, and initiated the
journey towards becoming a more flexible and free
market. This development impacted Mumbai the
most, and the city started transforming
overnight. Today, there is no death of
commercial property in Mumbai and there are
several prestigious business hubs all over the
city. Here are some of the most prominent ones

BKC-Kalina

• Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) was built on marshy
  land on the northern side of Mahim Creek to
  decongest South Mumbais saturation of offices
  and commercial spaces.
• Today it is home to several multi national
  companies such as ICICI Bank, Standard Chartered,
  Citigroup,Bank of India, Bank of India, NSE
  (National Stock Exchange), SEBI, NABARD, ILFS,
  MMRDA, and UTI.   The world's largest diamond
  bourse, Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) is also
  located in BKC.
• Kalina, an adjoining region to BKC, also boasts
  of several corporate houses such as JP Morgan,
  Kotak, JWS, Edelweiss and LT.

Vikhroli

• A northeastern suburb of Mumbai, Vikhroli, which
  is a fast developing hub since it is well
  connected to the Central Railway rail track, the
  Eastern Express Highway and the Lal Bahadur
  Shastri Marg
• One of the most distinguished ones is the Godrej
  Business District which has more than a million
  square feet of office space. Some of the renowned
  companies here are Accenture, WNS, TCS, etc. 
• In close proximity is the  247 Park developed by
  HCC Real Estate with prominent tenants such as
  Future Group, Tata Consulting Engineers and DHL.

Powai

• Another northeastern suburb of Mumbai, Powai has
  grown drastically in recent years, to become one
  of the citys most upmarket commercial and
  residential hubs
• A crucial reason for its quick rise is the
  Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR), which
  connects  Powai to Mumbai's western and eastern
  suburbs.
• It is a hub , not only for corporate offices such
  as Crisil, Deloitte, Kellogg's etc but also for
  start-ups like Housing.com.

Western Suburbs (Andheri,Jogeshwari,Goregaon,Malad
)

• Andheri-Jogeshwari have been a commercial and
  industrial powerhouse for quite a few years now.
  Thanks to the entertainment business, these
  districts attract a lot of investment.  
• Corporate houses like HUL, Glenmark, Viacom
  18,Kotak, Oracle Financial Services Software
  Limited and Cigna are among the prominent ones
  here.
• Goregaon has many malls like Inorbit in the west
  and Oberoi in the east. This has made Goregaon a
  commercial as well as industrial hub. One of the
  most notable firms here is Ogilvy and Mather, and
  advertising giant which shifted from Lower Parel
  to Goregaon, for the same reasons.
• The Mindspace area in Malad, which was an
  erstwhile dumping ground, but was converted into
  an IT and BPO hub by the K.Raheja group and now
  has companies like JP Morgan, Sony, Airtel and
  more.

Lower Parel and Elphinstone Road
Lastly, coming to one of the places where Mumbai
started turning into a financial, industrial and
commercial powerhouse. And this is long before
the liberalisation happened. This was the
centrepoint of Mumbais textile mill
revolution. Today, it has several swanky
corporate and residential complexes. One of the
tallest buildings in Mumbai, Indiabulls One and
Indiabulls Finanace Centre are found here. One
can find mega corporate powerhouses like  Aditya
Birla Group, Reliance Capital, Tata Motors,
Starbucks, Deloitte and several media houses as
well. Peninsula Corporate Park, one of the first
corporate hubs here, changed the entire image of
the area and has the head offices of Vodafone
India and Piramal Health Care.
