Why Mumbai
Mumbai is India's financial capital — home to the Reserve Bank of India, SEBI, the BSE and the NSE, and headquarters to many of the country's largest banks, insurers and listed companies. That makes it the natural host for VBC's finance-led edition, where the conversation centres on capital, credit and investment for a Viksit Bharat 2047 economy. Mumbai opens every annual circuit, and it hosts Edition 1 of the 60-month roadmap.
