Business in Mumbai
Banking, insurance, broking and corporate headquarters around Nariman Point, Bandra Kurla Complex and Lower Parel make Mumbai India's financial centre, home to the RBI, BSE and NSE. Diamond trading at the Bharat Diamond Bourse, the film and television industry, container traffic through the port at Nhava Sheva and wholesale markets from Masjid Bunder to Mangaldas Market sustain a very large base of traders and small businesses.
Also known as Bombay.
Where software helps: Diamond and jewellery traders here give goods out on memo to brokers and buyers, so they must track each lot by certificate, location and memo status, and reconcile returns, sales and payments.
