Please Join Us for the February 24 PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE FEBRUARY 24 - 26, 2017 The Asia Pacific Zone of the IWFS invites you to an exciting weekend in Mumbai, India from Friday, February 24 to Sunday, February 26, 2017. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital of India and is said to be one of the world’s top ten centres of commerce besides being home to the largest film industry in the world. The city is a heady mix created by the juxtapositioning of cultural heritage, modern day technological advancement, Bollywood “masala” and old world charm. The heart of the city, South Mumbai, is dotted with some of the grandest colonial era (Indo- Saracenic, Art-Deco) architecture. A great example of this stands on the Mumbai harbour, the Gateway of India stone arch, built by the British. We will be staying opposite this landmark structure, at the Taj Mahal hotel, an iconic building in its own right, built in 1903 and steeped in its very own special history. THE PROGRAMME Bombay Branch has planned a very special programme, to give you a peek into India’s exotic culture and heritage. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2017 Opening dinner at Konkan Cafe - Vivanta Taj President at 7:00 PM The Konkan Cafe at Vivanta President offers a fantastic melange of coastal cuisines from the west coast of India; covering multiple cuisines from each of the states along the Konkan coast.

The impressive building is a mix of Islamic, Hindu and British architecture and was built in the early years of the 20th century. The CSMVS has an outstanding collection of sculptures, terracottas, bronzes, excavated artifacts from the ancient Harappan sites and Indian miniature and European paintings. 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM - Lunch - Thackers Experience a traditional, Gujarati vegetarian meal, as you sit down to a large silver thali with a number of bowls that are filled with great ease and dexterity.

  • Mumbai Retail Guide
    MUMBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Mumbai | 2019 0 Mumbai serves as the financial capital of India and accounts for the highest GDP contribution in the country, currently standing at approximately 6.61%. Mumbai is the second most populated city in the country with a population of approximately 22 million. Mumbai’s retail market is characterised by smaller disorganised retailers or corner shops retailing various commodities ranging from food to clothes and other household items, as is the case across most cities and towns in India. Rapid economic growth and changing consumer preferences have transformed Mumbai’s retail market, with organised retail increasingly playing a much larger part. Over the years, several large organised developments have sprung up across the city, ranging from mass to premium and luxury. Several local and international luxury brands have opened stores in Mumbai and many consider the city a launch pad for their brand. The presence of Bollywood, one of the world’s leading movie industries, has fuelled the growth of organised retail in Mumbai, with many stars endorsing both local and global brands alike. Brands such as H&M, GAP, Sephora, Scotch & Soda, Muji, Massimo Dutti, Jo Malone, Longchamp, American Eagle, Armani Exchange, Hackett, Onitsuka Tiger, Hamley's, Simon Carter, Du Rhône Chocolatier, Bath & Body Works, Franck Muller, Hublot have all entered the Mumbai retail market. New entrants tend to open stores in malls first, within prominent retail developments, then subsequently establish a footprint on major streets. Luxury labels benefit from high-net-worth individuals (HNI) in Mumbai, many of whom travel abroad frequently and have high disposable incomes.

  • Bombay 100 Years Ago, Through the Eyes of Their Forefathers
    Erstwhile, ‘Bombay’, 100 years ago was beautifully built by the British where the charm of its imagery and landscape was known to baffle all. The look and feel of the city was exclusively reserved for those who lived in that era and those who used to breathe an unassuming air which culminated to form the quintessential ‘old world charisma’. World Luxury Council (India) is showcasing, ‘never seen before’ Collectors’ Edition of 100 year old archival prints on canvas through a Vintage Art Exhibit. The beauty of the archival prints is that they are created with special ink which lasts for 100 years, thus not allowing the colors to fade. The idea is to elicit an unexplored era through paradoxically beautiful images of today’s maximum city and present it to an audience who would have only envisioned Bombay 100 years ago, through the eyes of their forefathers. The splendid collection would be an absolute treat for people to witness and make part of their ‘vintage art’ memorabilia. World Luxury Council India Headquartered in London, UK, World Luxury Council (India) is a ‘by invitation only’ organization which endeavours to provide strategic business opportunities and lifestyle management services though its 4 business verticals – World Luxury Council, World Luxury Club, Worldluxurylaunch.com and a publishing department for luxury magazines. This auxiliary marketing arm essentially caters to discerning corporate clients and high net worth individuals from the country and abroad. The Council works towards providing knowledge, assistance and advice to universal luxury brands, products and services requiring first class representation in Indian markets through a marketing mix of bespoke events, consultancy, web based promotions, distribution and networking platforms.

  • BEOC Assessment of Mumbai Attacks
    NJBF BEOC ASSESSMENT – MUMBAI INDIA ATTACKS “Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured” – Indian Proverb Assessing the Mumbai Attacks The following analysis of the November Mumbai attack by terrorist forces is compiled from open source material and published for use by members of the New Jersey Business Force. BACKGROUND : The Mumbai operation was launched from Karachi Pakistan on 11-21-08 and ended on the morning of 11-29-08 when Indian security forces declared the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel clear and safe. On 11-21-08, a team of approximately 12 militants departed Karachi by boat with equipment and weapons. To avoid detection when approaching the Indian coast, the militants hijacked an Indian fishing boat with a crew of five. The militants immediately murdered four of the fishing boat’s crew and forced the captain to navigate the craft to Mumbai where he was summarily killed. Authorities later found a satellite phone and GPS belonging to the infiltrators on board the boat. Militant assault teams would use satellite phones to maintain contact throughout the Mumbai massacres with an operational authority linked to Lashkar-e Toiba (The Army of the Pure) back in Pakistan. Such technology allowed assault teams to receive situation updates, instructions and orders. What started with “hit and run” actions rapidly escalated into a sustained, devastating “seize and hold” operation. The militants employed inflatable dinghies to land undetected at Sassoon Dock near the historic Gateway to India monument.

    Key Questions ▸▸ What are the most likely terrorist targets in Mumbai? ▸▸ What type of attack would the terrorists most likely mount? ▸▸ How would they gain access to the city? ▸▸ What can be done to deter future terrorist attacks? 14 Defending Mumbai from Terrorist Attack CASE NARRATIVE he teeming sprawl of modern Mumbai’s more than distribute18 million residents T had humble beginnings.1 Poised on a peninsula jutting into the Arabian Sea (see Map 14.1), the city formerly known as Bombayor began its life as a small fishing village populated by native Koli people.2 Portuguese sailors later claimed the Koli’s seven swampy islands but did not see much value in them. In 1661, the Portuguese government gifted the islands to Britain as part of the dowry for Charles II’s marriage to post,Catherine of Braganza. The city’s gradual transformation into a bustling hub of world commerce began when the East India Company recognized the potential of the location’s natural harbor and leased the islands from the British Crown. The subsequent colonization of India by Britain and the development of the textile industry in the mid-nine- teenth century solidifiedcopy, the city’s importance to Asia and the rest of the world. By 2008, Mumbai had become the epicenter of India’s booming economy. The city hosts India’s stock exchange and boasts a population density four times greaternot than that of New York City.3 A recent Global Cities Index rated Mumbai as the world’s fourth most populous city, with the twenty-fifth highest Dogross domestic product.4 Mumbai’s modern docking facilities, rail connections, and international airport make it India’s gateway to the world’s globalized economy.5 The city is also home to the popular Bollywood film industry, which churns out movies whose financial success is eclipsed only by that of their American counterparts.
