Mumbai is a city but Bombay is an emotion!
Mumbai (Formerly called Bombay) is a city full of life, promise, buzz, activity, and relentless energy. The bustling metropolitan of Mumbai is the engine that powers modern India, It also serves as the financial capital of the country.
It is the city of Bollywood, high fashion, luxury shopping, and lots of glitz and glamour. It is to India what NYC is to the United States, or what Tokyo is to Japan. A larger-than-life mega entity.
The city rose to prominence under the British Empire, when it became a center of maritime trade and commerce —a far cry from its early days as a collection of small fishing villages. With rising prosperity, its population boomed attracting people from not just other parts of Maharashtra, but all corners of the British Indian Empire.
