Caught between two names and multiple religions, languages and personalities, Mumbai is a monstrous megalopolis of affluence and effluence. With 17 million people already spilling outwards from its archipelago of islands and more arriving by the day, Mumbai will soon have a greater population than the entire continent of Australia. Staring out over the Arabian Sea, Mumbai has always been outward-looking and cosmopolitan, a gateway between the subcontinent and the world that draws from both. It is also where India's future meets its past, with high-tech campuses, fashionable bars and restaurants setting up business amid the Victorian bones of the Raj. The economic engine of India and the capital of a global entertainment empire, Mumbai also suffers some of the most desperate urban poverty found anywhere on earth. Many of those who speak of the city as home have no homes to speak of, while Bollywood billionaires can splash out more on champagne in an evening than most of the population earns in a year. Thro

India's king of beer hunkers over the bar in the leather-trimmed lounge of his Boeing 727. Vijay Mallya's tie is askew, his eyes are rimmed with red, but he declares the past 23 hours "a great, great day." The 49-year-old liquor baron has been up since 3 A.M., flying from Mumbai to Calcutta to talk with investors and employees of Shaw Wallace, a rival acquired in March by his United Breweries Group. The $370 million purchase, ending a 20-year takeover struggle, has made UB second only to Diageo as the world's largest liquor company by volume. Earlier in the day Mallya had toured Shaw Wallace's headquarters like a conquering general, addressing shareholders and holding forth in a whirl of interviews with the local press. Now, jetting back to Mumbai at 2 A.M., it's Mallya time. The secret of his success, he muses, swirling a goblet of red wine, is that he understands the aspirations of the modern Indian consumer.
