On Saturday, all roads led to BKC, and the traffic police had a hard day. But inside, Mumbai was revelling in music and commitment. The first Indian edition of Global Citizen saw politicians, stars and international bands pledge to work towards offering India gender equality, quality education, water, sanitation and hygiene.

The organisers announced that 25 commitments from policymakers will affect more than 50 crore people with an investment of Rs 22,940 crore. In the last two months, more than 5 lakh Indians took 20 lakh actions, prodding political and business leaders to be accountable in achieving the three goals.
