Open, priced at Rs 30, was launched on 2nd April’09. So far 18 issues have been released in the market. Open has been designed to be an Interesting, intelligent and stimulating read for globally minded Indians who don’t like their news served up stale a week after the event.. And this is an outcome of Open’s strong editorial philosophy that it won’t repeat news that readers already know, that Open will constantly challenge the reader to rethink & to revisit and that it will contribute significantly to the additional knowledge needs of Indian reader. Its international design and uncluttered presentation enhances the reading experience of discerning readers.

OPEN comes to the reader as three distinct magazines rolled into one. The first section, Small World, is a zippy 10-page selection of the most relevant and interesting news of the week from the world. The middle section has in-depth stories and features on politics, sports, entertainment, science, technology, societal trends, health, culture, and so on. OPEN ends with Mindspace, a section of literary essays, stories on books, art & culture, gadgets, celebrity gossip, science and Headstart, which challenges the reader with puzzles, mindgames and questions of ethics.
