Guardian Cities is in Mumbai for a week of live reporting and special events, discussing every aspect of this fascinating city – from culture to crime, housing to hip-hop. The trip comes hard on the heels of a citizen-reporting training programme we held in western India in October.
Whether you live in Mumbai or further afield, we hope you’ll get involved. To keep up with our latest films, articles and live events (plus the odd joke), check out our rolling “live blog” all day, every day, from Monday 24 to Friday 28 November inclusive. That alone might be worth downloading the Guardian app for – but there’s more.
A highlight each day will be our NDTV-Guardian Cities debate, screened live on NDTV from 7pm IST (1.30pm GMT) and live-streamed on the Guardian Cities website.
Use the hashtag #NDTVGuardianMumbai to get involved in all the discussions around these shows – which will feature some of Mumbai’s funniest, sharpest and most influential commentators discussing what life is like for women, the future of the city’s film industry, and how safe it is from terror attacks.
You can follow us and join in the discussions on Twitter and Instagram @guardiancities and by using the hashtag #GuardianMumbai.

Many of our events will be held at our favourite Mumbai venue, the Hive - where culture and community spirit combine to create a magical space to work, watch and perform.
Do get in touch if you have any questions or comments about it or any other part of our week – email us on cities@theguardian.com.
