The 1991 economic reforms in India gave a fillip to India's IT sector. It's been 28 years ever since, and India is already gearing up for the next technological revolution as the third biggest start-up hub, globally. Particularly, Mumbai has registered remarkable figures in the number of start-ups in the last four years. If every city you live in shapes you as a person, Mumbai shapes you as an entrepreneur too; so they say. With new-generation start-ups burgeoning and with numerous educational institutes setting-up incubation tech centres within their premises, Mumbai seems to be once again demonstrating the kind of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that led the first wave of IT in the country. However, it does continue to suffer from inadequate infrastructure, high operational costs, varying market dynamics and a whole host of other woes. Yet, the sheer energy of the city, the business environment, huge talent pool, and its global linkages make it an attractive base for innovative new ventures. After all, it's the city of dreams! Founded in 2017, Webboxstudios is an independent creative studio focused on design, development and marketing. The start-up has been assisting Corporates, SMEs, MSMEs and Non-Profit Institutions to get started in a professional and cost-

effective manner with an ultimate objective to maximize their ROI.
