Megacities : Mumbai

Brief Summary

From the oldest stock exchange in Asia to the largest film industry in the world, Mumbai is a city of glamour and glitz. It's India's largest, richest and fastest city. Millions come here chasing their dreams. And to keep these people on the move, Mumbai must keep moving. Public transportation is Mumbai's lifeline. The trains were built for 1700 passengers, but in this mega city, they carry three times that number. Every year, 3,500 people die on the tracks. And the crowding will only get worse. Mumbai's trains and buses keep this city in the fast lane...but by 2020, this city of 13 million could swell to an astounding 28 million people. Mumbai could become the most populous city in the world. This episode also looks at the Mumbai's large scale lunch delivery known as the dabbahwallah system, which is recognized as one of the best managed supply chains in the world. Forbes magazine awarded the system its highest rating: Six Sigma - which means no more than one error ... per one million transactions.
