India’s financial capital Mumbai is among the world’s most attractive cities in terms of professional and private life in a list topped by Dubai and followed by Amsterdam.
INSEAD, one of the world’s leading and largest graduate business schools, carried out the survey titled ‘INSEAD Alumni’ and found that Dubai was rated world’s most attractive city to live and work in. Surprisingly, London ranked 10 and Paris 11.
Mumbai, which ranked 13, is the only Indian city to appear in the list of 15 best cities worldwide.
It came 13th in overall attractiveness, seventh in economic dynamism, 15th in quality of life and fifth in cost of living, INSEAD said.
Dubai was followed by Amsterdam which rated second, then Toronto, Singapore, Madrid, Hong Kong, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, London, Paris, Milano, Mumbai, Moscow and Sao Paulo respectively.
“To some it might come as a surprise that Dubai has been ranked as the best place to work globally by the INSEAD Alumni Association, but for INSEAD in the region this is not a revelation.
