What research is done in Mumbai?

Papers authored at Mumbai's institutions — Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, University of Mumbai — with the Prism stance layer.

Summary

Mumbai is a major research-producing centre in this record. Of 6446 papers from local institutions, IIT Bombay contributes 2940 and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research 1109; machine learning and sustainability lead the promising themes, while climate work also carries cautions.

WATCH Watch whether climate research becomes more promising and less cautionary.
Research outlook for Mumbai

What the papers — written in the city and about it — point to, split by the Prism stance layer: work that reads promising versus work that flags problems or urges caution.
