The Commercial Hubs in Mumbai

The commercial hubs in Mumbai have changed . In the past it was only Nariman Point then came Bandra Kurla Complex and Mindspace . The commercial areas have now reached the heart of the suburbs . But methinks the infrastructure has not kept pace with this rapid development . There are lot of new companies that have started and lot of existing companies are expanding but the state of roads, public transport and other utility services remain far from satisfactory . Most importantly one does not see any concerted efforts to develop the necessary infrastructure .There are plush offices catering not only to the Indian economy but probably to all the economies of the world but the area around those offices reminds you that you are stuck up in what is called a ‘third world nation’. This again takes one to the fact that there is a divide between the so called upper middle or rich class who are getting richer and then there is a section who is struggling to make ends meet as they do not have the skills to compete in the growing economy .All this according to me smacks of lopsided growth in the long term and can lead to unpleasant conditions on the socio economic , environmental and political front in times to come .
