Do I Need Both Trade License & Shop & Establishment (Gumasta) License for a Home-Based Business in Mumbai? I'm planning to start a home-based pickle business in Maharashtra and will be selling through Shopify and Amazon. I already know that FSSAI Registration and GST Registration are mandatory, so no doubts there.

Metro query: Difference between 45 days vs. Unlimited Trips pass For Metro one aka Blue line, I commute between Ghatkopar and Western Express Highway for entire month except weekends.

Noise levels in Mumbai due to construction Living next to a construction site has become a nightmare since the building next door went into redevelopment. The noise levels are insane. They start sharp at 7:30 in the morning—completely ruining my sleep schedule. I don’t even need an alarm anymore.

Absolute torture. To make it worse, they recently started working late... 3 0 replies
