Umesh Prasad, Sales Director of Automha India, follows the whole of the burgeoning market with a keen commercial-technical eye from a privileged position: Mumbai, the world’s number one city in population density. Mumbai is located on India’s west coast and has a deep natural harbor, which handles almost half of India’s maritime freight traffic.
Mumbai is India’s commercial capital, generating 5% of the country’s GDP, 25% of industrial output, 40% of maritime trade, and 70% of transactions.
Although the economy has diversified rapidly, ranging from engineering to information technology, since the 1980s the city has owed much of its prosperity to the textile sector, where Automha is internationally recognized as the best provider of automated warehouses for textiles.
