Foxymoron’s Suveer Bajaj launches digital publication Man’s Life
Mumbai: Suveer Bajaj, co-founder of independent digital advertising agency FoxyMoron and the media network Zoo Media on Thursday announced the launch of a digital publication – Man’s Life which will be exclusively dedicated to men’s lifestyle.
The publication will feature internet-based video, and written content on various segments that include sports, lifestyle, auto, and entertainment.
Popular television presenter and sports commentator Suhail Chandhok will lead the sports editorial. Consulting editor and actor Eva Pavithran will lead the lifestyle editorial, while presenter and content creator Chinmaya Sharma will be in charge of entertainment editorial.
The first phase of the publication will be a video-first content approach by creating video IPs and branded content solutions with upcoming influencers, who will act as digital brand ambassadors. The platform currently offers brand services like creating video IPs, advertiser-funded programmes, advertorials, white labelled content, affiliate marketing, native advertising opportunities, and influencer marketing.
The second phase will introduce the e-commerce aspect of the business model and the introduction of regional content.
“We observed a massive gap in advertising options exclusively for men. We thought if we have successfully built brands for our clients through the network over the years, why not create our own brand leveraging our own skills and experience? I believe that Man’s Life community will be integral in dictating the consumer journey from the discovery to the trial phase,” said Bajaj.
Man’s Life sports editor Suhail Chandhok said, “Sport always brings a sense of upliftment and with everyone being home and video content consumption being at an all-time high, I’m excited about leaning on my experiences to engage with millennial and Gen-Z sports fans through relatable content and also spark some really interesting conversations.”
Man’s Life is published by Mammoth Media, the media publishing house of Zoo Media.

Malaika Arora launches Maejoy accessories brand with Myntra partnership
New label debuts with 250 plus handbags and lab grown diamond jewellery.
MUMBAI: When style meets sparkle, a new brand is ready to take centre stage. Actor and entrepreneur Malaika Arora has launched a lifestyle accessories label called Maejoy, developed in collaboration with Exceed Entertainment and Myntra Jabong India Private Limited (MJIPL), the B2B wholesale arm of Myntra. The brand enters the market with a debut collection of more than 250 styles spanning handbags and lab grown diamond jewellery, two categories that continue to define everyday personal style for modern consumers.
The handbag lineup includes crossbody bags, structured shoulder bags, bucket bags, totes, backpacks, clutches and workwear inspired designs. The pieces are crafted using materials such as synthetic leather, raffia, braids, satin, rhinestones and metallic finishes.
Alongside the bags, Maejoy has introduced a jewellery range featuring lab grown diamond rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and tennis bracelets. The pieces are set in 925 sterling silver bases with gold, silver and rose gold tones, and include diamonds certified by IGI and GCI.
Positioned as a premium yet accessible accessories label, Maejoy is built around the philosophy “The Joy of Being Me”, aiming to blend aspirational fashion with everyday usability. The brand’s positioning centres on three pillars: authenticity, empowerment and accessibility.
Arora described the venture as a natural extension of her long association with fashion and personal style.
“Maejoy is a labour of love. Throughout my career, whether on screen, in business or through personal style, I have always believed fashion should feel empowering yet effortless. The Joy of Being Me celebrates individuality while making global fashion trends more accessible,” she said.
MJIPL, CXO and head of house of brands Suman Saha said the brand brings together Arora’s style perspective with a strong opportunity in the accessible premium accessories segment.
“Maejoy combines Malaika Arora’s distinctive style sensibility with fashion forward designs that we believe will resonate strongly with consumers looking for elevated yet wearable accessories,” he said.
Exceed Entertainment CEO Afsar Zaidi added that building celebrity led brands requires balancing authenticity with market viability.
“Malaika commands respect both as a fashion icon and a businesswoman. Bringing her creative vision together with Myntra’s brand building expertise creates a strong foundation for Maejoy,” he said.
The collection is available exclusively on Myntra through its website and mobile app, making the brand accessible to millions of shoppers across India as it steps into the competitive lifestyle accessories space.
