Things worth considering in this city are food culture, job opportunities and financial independence, unity in diversity!

Mumbai is a vibrant and multicultural city. Don’t worry about the language barrier as English is spoken in Mumbai so communication won’t be a problem at all. Mumbai has a tropical climate so be prepared to deal with humid weather.

Mumbai is a metropolitan city and the business hub of India. Anyone considering to move here must be ready to take on the fast pace of life and the hustle that comes with city living. With respect to travel, if you own a private vehicle, getting stuck in traffic is unavoidable. Public transport on the other hand is often overcrowded, but more convenient. While the way of life here may be hectic for a country dweller, it has its own specialities, from the beautiful Marine drive, to the street side vendors selling mouth watering vada pav and pani puri; as well as beautifully preserved heritage sites which are worth a visit. But the most important thing that you need to know before you move here, is that the people of Mumbai are from all backgrounds and cultures to form a melting pot of shared experiences.

Adjust your expectations of space. Mumbai is a city of more than 20 million people living in, under, and on top of buildings, slum dwellings, tarpaulin tents, temples, bridges, and in one case, a burial ground. The city is one of the world’s most crowded, and has some of the world’s most expensive real estate. Pick up life tips on Mumbai’s trains. On the suburban railway network, the fastest way to get around since the British built it in 1853, you’ll see a glorious display of personal space and time management. Know your Bombay from your Mumbai. Two decades after Bombay, the city’s colonial-era name, was dropped for Mumbai—a word derived from Mumbadevi, a deity worshipped by the island’s indigenous fishing communities—what to call this city is still a heated subject.

Street food is delicious only when the street is in the food. Mumbai is essentially a culmination of khao gallis—food-lined “treat streets”—heaving with traffic, commotion, vexations, and delays.
