A magazine is the most ambitious thing a company can publish, and the most rewarding. It outlasts a campaign. It positions a brand the way trade press positions an industry. It becomes the artefact your sales team carries, your investors keep, your competitors quietly study, and your future hires read before they say yes. Most companies don’t have the in-house editorial bandwidth to do it well — that’s where the studio comes in. We commission the writing, design every page, and ship the schedule that suits the business.

Why it matters

A magazine is the publication that anchors everything else you publish.

A serious magazine does three things at once. It demonstrates your company’s point of view in a category — over time, across issues, in a format that competitors can’t fake. It builds an audience you own — readers who actually look forward to the next issue, not just inbox subscribers waiting for the unsubscribe link. And it gives every other piece of communication you make a tonal anchor; once the magazine is established, your annual report, brand book, and newsletter all draw their voice from it.

Done well and done consistently, a corporate magazine compounds — every issue makes the next one easier and the next reader more loyal. Done badly or inconsistently, it embarrasses the brand. We make magazines that fall into the first category.

How we work

A four-step process from brief to delivery.

01

Brief & strategy

A working session to define the audience, the cadence, the editorial pillars, and the publishing system.

02

Issue 01 setup

8–12 weeks to build the editorial system — masthead, grid, voice, type — and ship the first issue.

03

Production rhythm

Every subsequent issue ships in 4–6 weeks. Editorial planning, commissioning, writing, design, delivery.

04

Iteration

After 4 issues, we review what’s working and refine the editorial system together.

Pricing

Pricing scales with the scope and cadence you choose.

We start at ₹50,000 per issue for a tight 12–20 page digital edition with 2–3 commissioned articles. A standard 30–50 page issue runs ₹3–4 lakh. A flagship 60+ page multi-language edition with custom photography commissioning runs ₹5–6 lakh per issue. Annual retainers therefore range from ₹6 lakh (lite quarterly) to ₹60 lakh (premium monthly), with most retainers landing in the ₹15–30 lakh range.

Who this is for

Best for companies with a multi-year publishing horizon.

Marketing teams at category leaders, established brands, growth-stage businesses, family-run companies, and cooperatives who want a flagship publication that demonstrates their company’s thinking. We work with companies of any size — the scope is tuned to your audience and your budget, not to a fixed format.
