The heart of Mumbai’s rapid economic expansion is not encapsulated within the glass-clad skyscrapers, but it beats in a dilapidated corner of the city.

These are the denizens of Dharavi – one of the largest slums in Asia.\nDespite the apparent mess and poverty, Dharavi stands as the most vibrant and economically effective area of Mumbai, churning out revenue amounting to an overwhelming billion US Dollars every year.\nOriginally a swampy fishing hamlet, Dharavi creek transformed into a dry land when a dam was constructed in the nearby vicinity. Over the years, these communities flourished financially, as observed today in the maze of variously designed leather accessories, intricate dresses and clay vessels, among other cottage industries.
