MILANDecentralized Social Media in Mumbai
Mumbai runs on data — from Dalal Street's fintech to Bandra-Kurla's media houses and Bollywood's fan networks. That makes who owns that data the city's real question.

As India's financial and entertainment capital, Mumbai generates more personal data per minute than almost anywhere in the country — trading apps, OTT platforms, creator networks. MILAN gives Mumbaikars a social space where that data sits in their own Decentralized Web Node, not an ad exchange.
Home to IIT Bombay, TISS and a dense startup corridor from Andheri to Powai, Mumbai has the technical community to understand why self-sovereign identity (DID) matters.
