PRINT MEDIA

 

Outlook: In October 1995, group company Hathway Investments Private Limited entered the print media. Outlook, a weekly newsmagazine headed by Vinod Mehta, galvanised a sluggish market reeling under the impact of satellite TV. Outlook quickly carved a significant niche for itself among discerning readers who value its in-depth, investigative reporting as well as its stylish visual format. Known to be fiercely independent, Outlook has shaken the establishment on events ranging from Kargil to Kashmir to cricket, sensitised the reading public to important issues like big dams, education and gender, and provided an unremitting focus on South Asian geopolitics. Today, Outlook is the preferred magazine of 1.5 million readers in India, and sells more than 11.2 million copies over the year.


Outlook Money: In July 1998, the Group launched "Intelligent Investor" re-christened as "OUTLOOK MONEY" as of 30-Nov-2002, India's first personal finance magazine, which offers sound strategies for the lay investor, especially the growing segment of salaried middle and upper middle-class and self-employed professionals. Its message is clear and simple: 'Invest well, borrow wisely, spend smartly'. Evidently, that message has gone down well: the magazine sold upwards of 1,00,000 copies a fortnight within a year. One of its distinguishing characteristics is that about 93 per cent of readers retain all past issues of Outlook Money. 

 

Outlook Traveller: Outlook Traveller is a monthly magazine from the stable of Outlook Publishing India Private Limited and the only significant magazine aimed at the travel reader. Every month since June 2001 OT has introduced readers to the wonders of unknown destinations while also encouraging travellers to take a fresh look at familiar places. Whether people are planning a holiday, or simply dreaming of one, Outlook Traveller continues to take them closer.

 

Outlook Saptahik: Outlook Saptahik, a weekly newsmagazine, was launched in October 2002 to establish significant presence amongst the vast Hindi reading audience. The product targets the evolved Hindi reader keeping their interests, realities and aspirations in mind. Outlook Saptahik retains the core strengths of Outlook with objective, fiercely impartial and bold journalism, while brandishing its own identity through a strong parallel editorial. The magazine is empathetic to its target audience and is not a translation of its English counterpart.

 

WEB MEDIA    

 

outlookindia.com: In 1998, Outlook went online as outlookindia.com, drawing into its fold the vast, nascent readership of expatriate Indians. outlookindia.com is both Outlook magazine's home on the Internet and an online publication. Apart from Outlook's print edition in its entirety - supplemented with links to related articles on its own site and elsewhere on the Web - outlookindia.com also offers an array of original Web-only columns and and news updates every day with a very lively interactive section.

 

outlooktraveller.com: Inaugurated as a web resource in 2000, this travel Website has since come a long way. Outlooktraveller began by opening up new vistas in web-driven vacation planning, with its highly focused editorial features on an array of destinations. Still a highlight of the website, these are supported by tools and resources that make putting together the holiday a breeze — from selecting the destination, to choosing the mode of transport, finding the way around the map, selecting a place to stay to catching the local festivities, plus ferreting out the nearest ATM, fuel stop or cybercafe. Here there is something for everyone; themed vacation ideas from 'A for adventure' to 'W for wildlife', honeymooners dream destinations, foodies delights, first-person travelogues, a message room where you can exchange notes or ask them for more info that you want… And don't forget to book the copies of the international award-winning bestsellers from Outlook Traveller Getaways, available at a special price when you order on the website. If you want a sneak preview, there're excerpts from the guide books by renowned authors, including the likes of Prabhu Ghate, Ruskin Bond and Jug Suraiya.

The site has six channels -- Stocks, Mutual Funds, Loans, Retirement Planning, Taxation and Insurance -- that address broad areas of the personal finance spectrum.
