Forbes India records Shiv Narain Birla, GD Birla's grandfather, living in a basa when he first came to Mumbai in the late 19th century. Carried here as prose: the sentence documents the city but does not itself identify the family as Marwari.

The cited book records the family moving its trading business to Bombay, and a Sekhsaria House on Marine Drive occupied by the author's great-grandfather and his brothers. Carried here as prose, not as a claim.

Forbes India gives Mumbai as the home of Famy Care, the family's company. This is the company's city, not a documented migration route, and the entry claims nothing more.
