APPS

How to get around the city like a pro:

  1. Get the @district_india app to check for "things to do around you" - musicals, plays, comedy shows.
  2. @zomato and @Swiggy is India's doordash for food delivery. You can also reserve your table via the 'Dining' tab for select restaurants
  3. forgot a jacket, spilled coffee on your tee, need a charger or literally ANYTHING? @letsblinkit, @Swiggy Instamart or @ZeptoNow apps gets it to you in 10 mins. Groceries, outfits, literal air coolers if you need them.
GETTING AROUND

Transport:

Super super easy. Public transport options are ample.

Autorickshaw in Mumbai Mumbai Metro Aqua Line Mumbai local train
  1. Hail a cab (kaali peeli aka black and yellow), autorickshaw (3 wheeler), or book an @Uber. You can also book @rapidoapp_ bikes (2 wheeler) for short rides. All cabs run on meter, expect to pay the meter fare. Do not agree to travel in cabs that do not go by meter as you will likely get scammed (arbitrary quotes).
  2. Take the metro. Aqua line is the BKC route and will bring you to south bombay (downtown). State of the art metro stations. Visit south bombay for hertiage architecture, beautiful bylanes for food, stunning art galleries and boutique shopping.
  3. Local trains - If you really want to experience mumbai in all its chaotic glory. Not for the faint hearted lol.

Well this should be all you need! DM me if you have any questions or want me to dive deeper into any suggestions :)

and for everyone coming in for the first time, know this:

India has built tech that allows you to be human, and doesnt punish you for it. Forgot to plan a dinner? Make a ressi online within minutes. Lazy/tired to go out and buy groceries? Order online and it's home in 10 minutes. Decided last minute to go to a yoga class? Call and they'll probably have a slot waiting for you in their immediate next class.

And Mumbai is where everyone meets. People from all walks of life, all cultures and fluencies. It is a city that allows you to just be. So come as you are, and you will find your people.

Allow this city to change you, allow the people to inspire you, show you beauty in its chaos, should you have the eyes to see. And you will leave feeling loved.

@EFDevcon is going to be unforgettable.

I am so excited to welcome you home. 🙏♥️
