Mills Malls and Moolah!
Mills Malls and Moolah! It all began in Aamchi Mumbai. Unlocking an Archival Treasure Trove. Relive the euphoria of the opening of the first mill, the first railway, the first ship sailing into a dock that had defied all odds. The first mall named Spencer Plaza, the first film, the first fortunes made and ruined from speculation on cotton prices or matka gambling. The first call to quit India, the first fight. It all began in Aamchi Mumbai. The country, once a supplier of British tea and cotton, now has a diversified economy with the majority of the activity and growth coming from the service industry. Since the economic liberalization policies of the 1990s, Indians have seen their quality of life grow immensely. Hence, the arrival of moolah!
