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.

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.
