Nari Hira, India’s legendary media leader and our most endearing boss, who injected guts and gumption into magazine publishing in India, is no more. His media stable Magna Publishing Co Ltd published bold and awesome magazines like ‘Stardust’, ‘Society’, ‘SAVVY’, ‘Society Interiors’ and ‘Health & Nutrition’ among a host of others… and shook up the Indian media scene in the process.

Revered for his intuitive thinking and razor sharp wit, Nari Hira nurtured generations of journalists, helping them blossom into big names in the media world. Plus, be it film stars, or renowned names from various stratas of society, his magazines focused on them all – making these legends and achievers enjoy and thrive on his unique brand of journalism.

Mr Hira’s commitment to brave journalism and innovative content — be it in print and digital media or riveting, high-powered events — continues to shine bright, just as he had envisioned. His legendary legacy will always be honoured 🙏🏽

We miss you, Mr Hira – RIP🙏🏽
