Top 4 Luxury Blogs & Luxury Magazines in India


By: Soumya Jain

There are a plethora of blogs and magazines in India. But if you are looking for India-specific luxury media, here is our definitive list.

Since 2009, India has seen a sudden influx of international luxury brands entering the market, vying for the rich Indian consumer’s rupees. That influx led to a hunger for knowledge on these brands, their products and the lifestyle they were offering. No wonder then, that India has a gamut of media offerings which provide credible reportage on all that is fine in life. Here is a list of top 4 luxury blogs and luxury magazines in India which you should absolutely refer to when considering that next purchase!

1.      Vogue India – It comes as no surprise to put this name on the top of the list. Although the magazine covers all brands and designers that are artistic, out-of-the-box (not just luxury), it does teach a thing or two about brands, what to look for, and how to stay fabulous.

2.      Harper’s Bazaar India – Again, a leading information source for fashion, Harper’s Bazaar does offer more on the luxury sector than Vogue. A little more elite, classy and intelligent, Harper’s Bazaar is actually my top favorite when it comes to print magazines.

3.      LuxuryFacts.com – Started as India’s first and only luxury e-magazine, it is in fact a definitive source of luxury in India. While highlighting Indian brands and designers, the online magazine also highlights international brands. It talks about fine dining, watches, jewelry, automobiles and a lot more via trend reports, quick news, interviews and features. Like we said, it is a must-visit if you want more information on luxury in India.

4.      Akanksharedhu – A beautifully laid out blog, blogger and photographer Akanksha Redhu gives a camera lens-wide perspective on luxury brands in India (among other categories of brands), presenting them in a stylish way. It’s a visual feast.

What is Teppanyaki? Understanding Japanese Cuisine.

Although there is much involved in the creation of delectable Japanese cuisine, Teppanyaki forms a large part of it, which many misunderstand to be same as hibachi or just grilled food. By: Soumya Jain Japan’s cuisine is as technically precise as it is creating a watch or jewelry. The fish has to be placed just the way and seaweed rolled with just enough pressure to be able to present a perfectly made sushi. Apart from the more popular sushi and sashimi, Teppanyaki also forms a part of Japanese cuisine. To put it in easy words, Teppanyaki uses an iron griddle to cook food. In Japan, ‘teppanyaki’ refers to dishes cooked using an iron plate, including steak, shrimp, vegetables, okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake), yakisoba (Japanese fried noodles), and monjayaki (also a kind of savory Japanese pancake).
