Mumbai Shopping

What are the items that I should bring with me because they’re not available (or are too expensive) where I am going?
Mumbai is a shopaholic's dream-come-true, with a great variety of items and leading brands available.
You should be able to find all your necessities. Groceries and fresh produce are widely available in hypermarkets, which may be more comfortable for many expats. Smaller, local markets are the traditional way to shop and are well-stocked. Alternatively, you can also order from online retail and grocery stores like BigBasket, Grofers or Amazon
