Verve is India's premier and only home-grown luxury and lifestyle magazine for women that has been in publication since 1995. The magazine celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015.
Verve was launched in 1995. Anuradha Mahindra, wife of industrialist Anand Mahindra, is the founder, editor and publisher.

About 80 per cent of its readership is in cities. The south Mumbai-based publishing organisation also produces specialised in-house magazines, coffee-table books and supplements for leading brands.
The luxury magazine focuses on women's lifestyle, including trends, national and international fashion, arts and culture, beauty, travel, food and spaces. Verve is known for its strong people focus, with in-depth interviews with famous people, Bollywood stories and also remains a platform for the discovery of new talent.
