CROWN VET

Mumbai has become India’s most important business centre and a contender for the region's most cosmopolitan city. Expats moving to Mumbai will find the city has many highlights: it is culturally and commercially vibrant, humming with possibility. In the flurry of booming industries and financial giants, the city has elbowed into the international business big league and become a major expat destination. Expats moving to Mumbai with children will be pleased to find a large number of international schools specialising in a range of different national curricula. Expats will find that education is a priority for the local population and, as a result, expats have a range of private schools to choose from as well. Expats who are initially put off by the city's hardships are usually won over by the ease of assimilating, the absence of a language barrier and a welcoming and gracious culture. There is also a vitality to life in Mumbai that makes each day different and stimulating and, of course, there's a palpable energy that comes from working in a city that is going places fast.
