The offices of Mumbai's main business districts are located in and around Nariman Point and Cuffe Parade, in south Mumbai, and also Bandra (particularly the Bandra Kurla Complex), and Andheri. In addition, many call centers are based in the growing outer western suburb of Malad.
The working day and week is long and unenviable. Although many people don't arrive in the office until around 10 a.m., they also don't leave until well into the night. 12 hour working days are considered quite normal, as are six day working weeks (although sometimes Saturday can be a half day). The concept of a weekend is quite foreign in Mumbai and India, with Sunday often being the only day off.
The sad reality is that there are so many people striving to get ahead and make ends meet, and so much competition for jobs, that if someone doesn't want to work such long hours, another person readily will.
