In a major development in the Indian publishing landscape, the India Today Group has announced that it will soon bring the Indian edition of the internationally renowned Hello! magazine to the country.
The move marks a significant expansion of India Today’s lifestyle and celebrity-focused media offerings, further strengthening its presence in the premium print and digital magazine space.
According to a report by ANI, the India Today Group has officially secured the rights to publish the Indian edition of Hello!, a globally celebrated title known for its exclusive access to high society, celebrities, royalty, and the world of glamour.
First launched in Spain in 1944 as ¡Hola!, the magazine has since become a staple in over 20 countries, including the UK, where Hello! has been one of the most read celebrity lifestyle weeklies for decades.
The Indian edition promises to retain the global identity of the brand while celebrating the elegance and achievements of Indian icons from the fields of film, fashion, business, sports, and beyond. Readers can expect high-gloss storytelling, in-depth features, intimate interviews, and never-seen-before visuals of the country’s most admired personalities.
The India Today Group, which already publishes a wide range of influential titles including India Today, Business Today, and Cosmopolitan India, is now looking to tap into a new generation of readers interested in aspirational content with Hello! India. The magazine will be available in both print and digital formats, aiming to reach a niche yet growing audience that values sophistication, luxury, and celebrity culture.
The launch of Hello! in India is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the celebrity publishing genre, blending global standards of journalism with Indian narratives and voices. Industry insiders believe this could usher in a new era for premium lifestyle journalism in the country.
