Davos, the epicenter of global economic dialogue, is witnessing Maharashtra’s push for Mumbai’s future. MMRDA’s elite team, under Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee’s stewardship and alongside CM Devendra Fadnavis’s delegation—including AMC-I Vikram Kumar—is diving into high-stakes meetings at the WEF annual meeting.
The core agenda? Securing international finance and cutting-edge tech to accelerate MMR’s urban renaissance. Day one featured a powerhouse session with Crossrail International’s Paul Dyson, experts in transformative transit systems. The talks confirmed collaboration paths, focusing on knowledge transfer for metro projects and skill-building for urban transport revolutions.
In a parallel breakthrough, dialogues with Berkeley’s Professor Chris Busch opened doors to academic synergies. Expect research collaborations and innovation frameworks that align with Mumbai’s aspiration to become India’s—and Asia’s—premier hub for talent and creativity.
This Davos outing is more than networking; it’s a strategic accelerator for Maharashtra’s $1 trillion economy dream. Targeted engagements with industry titans aim to spike foreign investments, forge business partnerships, generate employment, and champion sustainable progress in the Mumbai region.
From potential funding windfalls to enduring global alliances, MMRDA’s Davos playbook is rewriting Mumbai’s growth narrative. As these connections deepen, the city edges closer to its destiny as a world-class metropolis.
