Celebrating the Heartbeat of Maximum CityMumbai 96

Our Journey

Mumbai96.com has been founded to give back to Businesses and the Mumbaikar. As a financial city, our businesses still need help coming to the top results in various portals and search engines (google being prominent). With the SEO/Digital Marketing experience of over 15 years each of the Business Heads & Founders, who are part of the Mumbai96.com development have developed successful online businesses under their leadership.

Mumbai 96 isn’t just an online portal; it’s a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of Mumbai’s rich history, diverse culture, and relentless spirit. We intend to create a vibrant community caring for each other.

The Seven Islands and Beyond

Centuries ago, the seven islands that now form then Bombay were home to Marathi-speaking Koli communities. These resilient islanders thrived amidst the Arabian Sea’s salty breeze, their lives intertwined with the rhythm of the tides. Over time, Bombay transformed, passing through the hands of indigenous rulers, the Portuguese Empire, and finally, the East India Company.

Rename from Bombay to Mumbai

In 1995, the Maharashtra government officially changed the name of India’s financial capital from “Bombay” to “Mumbai.” This decision was rooted in historical and cultural reasons, as “Mumbai” reflects the city’s Marathi heritage. However, the transition wasn’t immediate. It took time for people to adapt to the new name, and by 1996, “Mumbai” had become widely accepted.

The significance of “96” in our portal name, mumbai96.com, beautifully captures the essence of hardworking Mumbaikars—their dedication from 9 am to 6 pm, working tirelessly for 9 hours a day, 6 days a week. It symbolizes the city’s relentless spirit and resilience.

A City of Dreams

Today, Mumbai stands tall as India’s financial capital, a city where dreams are both forged and fulfilled. From the bustling streets of Colaba to the towering skyscrapers of Worli, every corner echoes with ambition, resilience, and the promise of opportunity.
