The socio-cultural fabric of Mumbai has often been spoken about as if it were a blanket. Regardless of which city you come from, you could make it yours and slip under it to feel comfortable. The genesis of the Bombaywaali Summit by SheThePeople that will take place tomorrow in Andheri can be traced to the warmth this city offers. It's not just an event that celebrates the women who have built Mumbai in various ways, but also the spirit of the city itself.

Founder of SheThePeople — India's first women's channel inspired by real stories — Shaili Chopra shifted base to Mumbai from Delhi in 2007. "The city embraced me. It was such a big deal because you come to a city and you become its own. And I've moved 17 schools in 12 classes but I've never felt this kind of energy or a connection with any other place, primarily because I'm a woman," she recalls.
