The Smart Manager
The Smart Manager is India’s first world-class
management magazine. It was launched with a mission
to update the business community in India on the latest
thought-provoking strategic ideas from experienced
world class managers, academics and consultants from
across the globe.
The Smart Manager is backed by an illustrious editorial
advisory board – Ajay Piramal, Apurva Bagri,
Gita Piramal, Kamini Banga, Maneck Davar, N.R Narayana
Murthy, Nitin Nohria, Omkar Goswami, Prahlad Kakkar
and Rajesh Jain.
A management magazine with a unique mission and position,
The Smart Manager has regular contributions from the
men and women who have built and who continue to build
India’s corporate empire and knowledge economy,
forming a superior network of world-class academics
and management thinkers.
The readership base of The Smart Manager has been
growing from strength to strength, constituting top
management, senior management, middle management and
the directors of India’s best corporations,
along with business school students who are being
groomed for a management career. These are individuals
who are successful in the academic, corporate or professional
world, contemporary and progressive thinkers, sophisticated
and discerning consumers and frequent travelers.
The Smart Manager is also available as reading material
in the Business Class of Jet Airways, India's No.
1 private airline, the largest airline in the country
in terms of passengers flown, and the fastest growing
airline in the world.
The magazine, therefore, gives advertisers the opportunity
to tap into a significant cross-section of the vast
aspiring/practicing manager population in India.
