RPSG Lifestyle Media launches new magazine Manifest

RPSG Lifestyle Media announces the launch of Manifest, a new magazine redefining how we celebrate India’s vibrant heritage and evolving identity. The inaugural issue is a celebration of everything that makes India exceptional—its  diversity, its traditions, and its ability to blend the old and the new.  

The first issue explores Indian weddings as microcosms of the country’s ethos, with features ranging from the symbolism of alta to the reimagined wedding registry. It presents readers with a fresh take on bridal fashion, meaningful rituals, and creative celebrations.

Gracing the cover of this issue is Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari, embodying the spirit of the modern Indian bride. In an exclusive feature, Aditi reflects on her personal connection to traditions, love for cinema, and her unique take on blending heritage with individuality. Wearing a corset lehenga by Tarun Tahiliani and jewellery by Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas, Aditi exudes elegance and confidence, encapsulating the theme of 'The New Bride'.

This issue takes readers on a journey where the past meets the present, highlighting themes like The New Solah Shringar, reinterpreting ancient beauty rituals with modern day luxury Ayurveda, and The Modern Bride, celebrating confidence, individuality, and deep roots in tradition. Manifest invites readers to “Curate Beautiful, Create Happy,” reflecting its commitment to showcasing authentic heritage while inspiring joy in every moment.

“As someone deeply passionate about India’s cultural legacy, it has long been my dream  that India should have a magazine that truly reflects its spirit. With Manifest, we celebrate  the Indianness that binds us while embracing the ever-evolving narrative of modern love  and life,” said Avarna Jain, chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media. 

Manifest is available at select retail outlets across the country.

RPSG Lifestyle Media, which launched in 2023, brought two publications to India last year. It launched the American men's magazine Esquire in April 2024 and The Hollywood Reporter in February 2024. Its website states that it intends "to make significant inroads into the fastest-growing luxury lifestyle market in the world" through its various multimedia platforms. 

RPSG Group forayed into the print medium with Open magazine in 2009. It acquired majority stake in personalised video news platform Editorji in July 2020. At the same time, it acquired an exclusive license for publishing both print and digital formats of the business magazine Fortune India. 

RPSG Group has been a part of the Indian music and entertainment industry with Saregama (erstwhile HMV) since 1986. Saregama has a film production house called Yoodlee Films. It also acquired digital entertainment company Pocket Aces.
