MUMBAI: Coruscant Tec, a mobile content developer and aggregator has launched the popular Man’s World magazine for mobiles on the Tata Indicom network. The mobile magazine is available at a monthly subscription of Rs 30.
The launch of the pocket size magazine marks the debut of a print magazine onto the mobile interface.
With consumers increasingly demanding more from their mobile networks, the launch of the pocket size magazine is the first of its kind in the value added services market in India.
The mini magazine has been developed on Qualcomm’s Brew platform and will be updated twice a month.
“The consumer is increasingly demanding more out of his mobile phone. With that in mind, the need to develop innovative Value Added Services is imperative. We have worked closely with Man’s World and Tata Teleservices to tailor content specifically for the mobile interface. With the mini magazine we want readers to have access to the magazine at all times. Content will be available dynamically and will be updated on a fortnightly basis” says Coruscant Tec founder and MD Ajay Adiseshann.
Man’s World is a monthly magazine targeted at contemporary Indian men. It is an Indian magazine suffused with international sensibility but backed by local content. The magazine covers various themes ranging from women and dating to electronic gadgets and cars. The mobile magazine will feature select content from the print version such as women, wheels, gadgets, style guru, grooming, Dr. Know and cricket providing the reader with entertainment on the go.
“The interesting thing about this version is that we have worked with Coruscant Tec to provide content from our large databank of material. Users will be able to get articles from past issues of the print magazine. We have pooled in all our materials to offer the consumer the very best they could ask for”, said Man’s World India editor N. Radhakrishnan.

CNN-News18 to host Fury in the Gulf conclave on West Asia crisis
Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
