Citi funds 10 new St. Jude’s Centres in Navi Mumbai
Citi India has backed the launch of 10 new St. Jude India ChildCare Centres at the Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC) in Kharghar, providing free accommodation and support to over 700 underprivileged families of child cancer patients each year.
The 12-storey facility, St. Jude’s largest to date with 234 residential units, was inaugurated Tuesday inside the Tata Memorial Centre-affiliated ACTREC campus. It addresses a critical gap for families traveling from remote areas for treatment, offering not just safe lodging but also nutritious meals, counseling, educational aid, and transport to medical appointments—essential for boosting recovery rates during lengthy therapies.
Citi is funding both capital expenditures (Capex) and operational expenses (Opex) for these 10 centres, adding to its support for an 11th in Mumbai’s Cotton Green area. The bank has partnered with St. Jude since 2014, also engaging employees through volunteering, educational events, and payroll donations.
“We are delighted that Citi India’s support has enabled this inauguration,” said K. Balasubramanian, CEO and Banking Head of Citi India, at the event. “Hygienic accommodation and nutrition are vital for successful cancer treatment outcomes. Congratulations to the team—this Kharghar facility strengthens India’s cancer care infrastructure.”
St. Jude CEO Anil Nair echoed the sentiment: “For families uprooted to cities for their child’s treatment, our centres are a second home where kids heal with dignity. We’re grateful to Citi for making our most ambitious project a reality.”
The centres target low-income families unable to afford urban stays during treatment, which can span years. Once fully operational, the complex will house more than 700 children and guardians annually, serving as a holistic hub to reduce treatment dropouts and improve survival chances.
St. Jude India, founded in 2006, now runs 48 such centres with 643 units across 12 cities, partnering with top hospitals like Tata Memorial, AIIMS, and Tata Medical Centre. In Mumbai alone, its network aids thousands facing pediatric cancer, a disease claiming over 50,000 Indian children yearly per global estimates.
Local officials and Tata Memorial representatives joined Balasubramanian, St. Jude Chairperson Manisha Parthasarathy, and Nair for the ribbon-cutting, highlighting Navi Mumbai’s growing role in specialized healthcare. The initiative aligns with broader efforts to make cancer care accessible, potentially easing pressure on Kharghar’s medical ecosystem as the city expands.

Navi Mumbai poised to lead India’s IT boom, says Mindspace REIT CEO
Navi Mumbai is surging ahead as India’s next major IT hub, drawing IT and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) companies with its strategic location, advanced infrastructure, and high quality of life, according to Ramesh Nair, CEO of Mindspace Business Parks REIT.
Once planned as a satellite to ease Mumbai’s congestion, the city now ranks third among India’s cleanest, third in KPMG’s quality-of-living index for its planned urban spaces and green areas, and fourth safest overall—key factors attracting businesses and skilled talent.
Major infrastructure upgrades are fueling this growth. The 22-km Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL), a $2.87-billion project funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has reduced travel time between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai from two hours to 20 minutes, transforming commutes and business operations. The Navi Mumbai Metro Rail Line connects key business and residential zones for better accessibility.
The upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), a Rs. 16,000-crore Adani Group project, will handle up to 90 million passengers annually once phased in, with runways opening in early 2025. This will boost global connectivity, making the city a prime spot for export-oriented IT firms.Other enhancements include the operational Kalwa Bypass Bridge and upgraded Digha Railway Station to cut local traffic, plus planned projects like the Airoli-Katai Naka Elevated Freeway, Ulwe Coastal Road, and Panvel-Karjat Suburban Rail Line to improve suburban links.
Navi Mumbai’s strong digital ecosystem supports data center expansion, with reliable power, proximity to submarine cable landings, and government data localization policies drawing hyperscalers and enterprises. This is spurring jobs in global capability centers (GCCs), IT services, telecom, and media, while fostering sector synergies with a deep talent pool.
Cost advantages seal the deal: living expenses and commercial leasing rates are far lower than Mumbai’s, alongside low employee attrition for business stability. Developers like Mindspace Business Parks, CapitaLand, and Tata Realty are snapping up land for commercial and residential projects, signaling long-term confidence.
The city’s social infrastructure—top schools, hospitals, malls, and affordable rentals—makes it family-friendly, easing relocations for professionals nationwide.
As these projects advance, Navi Mumbai is set to anchor India’s digital economy, blending world-class infrastructure, business ease, and livability to drive national growth.
