Is Mumbai really in Asia Pacific? India doesn't touch the Pacific. In fact, it touches an entirely different ocean named after it.


Well it's definitely in Asia.

To me it makes no sense to lump such a huge area together under "asia-pacific" though. Even just Asia would be too big.


Asia Pacific means all of Asia plus the Pacific countries like Australia and the scattered islands in the pacific.


It's generally not considered to include Western Asia/the Middle East, though.


Middle East is generally merged with Europe and Africa and called EMEA (Europe/Middle-East/Africa)


Depends on context - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia-Pacific


Earth has more than one ocean?

I guess your model\map might, so perhaps with these tools you can get insight into your question.

Usually it counts as part of the Indian Subcontinent Region IIRC?
