About Us
Promoters of Outlookmoney.com: The Outlook Group
| It's an entrepreneurial journey that has spanned both 'old' and 'new' economies -- building successful brick-and-mortar businesses to exploring the frontier world of convergence technologies. About a quarter-century before the onset of the ICE age, the Rajan Raheja Group made its beginning in the construction business. After building a huge presence in the realty market, the Group diversified laterally into manufacturing, financial services and media -- each venture initiated, and executed, to fulfil the objective of assuming leadership in core areas. The list of the Group's successes is long and eclectic. Today, H&R Johnson (India) Limited is the top name in ceramic tiles in India. Exide is the strongest brand of batteries in the automotive and industrial field. Supreme Petrochemicals is the largest processor of plastic materials in India. The Group also joined hands with Oberoi Hotels as co-promoters of Trident Hotels and luxury resort Rajvilas, which Conde Nast Traveller ranked as one of the 25 best villa hideaways in the world. Other triumphs include Templeton Asset Management (India) Ltd, a venture with the Templeton Group which manages funds worth $220 billion; Prism Cement Ltd, with a production capacity of 2.1 million tonnes; and Sonata Software, a leading name in this cutting-edge field. As owners and operators of a fibre optic cable network in Kerala through Asianet Satellite Communications, the group is also a significant stakeholder in the growing convergence business in India.
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.
Subscribe Now 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.
Subscribe Now Outlook Traveller: Outlook Traveller is a monthly magazine from the stable of Outlook Publishing India Pvt. 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.
Subscribe Now 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 & 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 & is not a translation of its English counterpart.
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.
