What Outlook Traveller does

Outlook Traveller is an Indian travel media brand launched in 2001 and operated by Outlook Publishing India Pvt Ltd, the private parent that also runs Outlook India, Outlook Business, Outlook Money, Outlook Luxe, Outlook Respawn, and Outlook Eats. The company publishes a bi-monthly print magazine alongside a daily-updated digital platform at outlooktraveller.com covering Indian and international destinations across dedicated verticals for adventure, heritage, food and drink, shopping, places of interest, nature, and responsible tourism. It serves individual travel enthusiasts and readers across India and globally, with secondary audiences of adventure travelers, food and culinary travelers, heritage and culture enthusiasts, and responsible-tourism advocates. Revenue is generated through four streams: annual magazine subscriptions (delivered within India and internationally), digital and physical magazine sales via Amazon India and Blinkit quick commerce across six metros, branded and sponsored campaigns with state and international tourism boards (Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, GNTO, Abu Dhabi), and a coffee table book line (Sri Lanka: Island Of Stories, 30 Wellness Retreats in India, 20 Dreamy Wedding Hotels In India, India's Best 50 New Hotels Digest) distributed via Amazon. The company maintains an active multi-platform presence on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube, and runs a reader-contributed content community (#OTWanderInk) that supplements the editorial team.
