The initial issue of the magazine was a compilation of 36 pages, which tracked India’s attempt at becoming a serious playground for the biggest luxury brands.

"Our attempt with BlackBook is to understand and report on the shape and direction the luxury market ultimately takes in India," stated Deepali Nandwani, editor-in-chief, BlackBook.
