Mumbai is where India's film, sports and business celebrities are based, which makes it the easiest city in the country to book a big name without a travel day. BKC conferences, Powai and Andheri corporate events, award nights at Juhu and Lower Parel hotels, and college fests across the city all draw from the same pool.
Typical Mumbai bookings: BFSI and pharma sales conferences, annual days for MNC India offices, product launches with a Bollywood or cricket face, leadership offsites in Lonavala and Alibaug, and fests at the city's colleges. Pune-based speakers are listed here too, as the drive is under three hours.
