‘Megamorphosis - Resurgence of Mumbai’ will be held on November 10th  
and 11th, 2009 at The Trident, Mumbai.


After the terrorist attacks of 26/11, Bombay First was one of the  
first organisations to spring into action, and organise an  
international security conference entitled “Lessons from 9/11 and 7/7  
for a safer Mumbai” in January 2009. Several experts from London and  
New York were brought in to share their experiences of counter – 
terrorism and disaster management. They also had high level meetings  
with the Home Minister, Addl. Chief Secretary (Home), Director General  
of Police & other senior officials.

Following on from the success of this conference, Bombay First is once  
again organising a high - powered event. A two - day international  
conference, entitled ‘Megamorphosis - Resurgence of Mumbai’ will be  
held on November 10th and 11th, 2009 at The Trident, Mumbai. This  
event will not only review the security issues covered in January’s  
conference, but will broaden its scope to deal with with issues of  
pressing importance for the resurgence of Mumbai. Among the topics to  
be covered will be:

• Housing - Knowledge Partner: McKinsey & Co
• Physical Infrastructure - Knowledge Partner: Price Waterhouse Coopers
• Social Infrastrucutre	- Knowledge Partner: KPMG
• Economic Growth - Knowledge Partner: Deloitte Haskins & Sell
• Governance - Knowledge Partner: Janagraha

Several eminent dignataries from India and abroad have been invited to  
address us. Amongst them are:

Dr. Manmohan Singh - Prime Minister of India
Lee Kwan Yew - Minister Mentor of Singapore
Mr. Roberto Zagha - Country Director World Bank
Mr. Richard Barnes - Deputy Mayor of London

We are proud that this conference is supported by the World Bank,  
MMRDA and MTSU. Bombay First enjoys immense credibility, not only in  
India, but also internationally and its work in several areas of urban  
regeneration has been well recognized and received.
