Man's World is an Indian men's luxury lifestyle magazine. It was launched in March 2000 by Anuradha Mahindra, wife of industrialist Anand Mahindra and was conceived by two leading city journalists working for Business India - Radhakrishnan Nair, who was the Executive Editor of Business India, and Harsh Man Rai, who worked as Photo Editor. According to Radhakrishnan, now Publisher and Editor of Man's World, "Man's World was conceived to be India's answer to some of the leading international men's magazines".[4] He also states that the magazine was "essentially targeted at a generation of young men who were coming of age, benefiting from the fruits of economic liberalisation of the 1990s."[5] In 2010, Radhakrishnan, the founding editor of Man’s World, bought out the magazine from Mahindra.[1][6]
MW India Pvt Ltd., has also branched out into contract publishing. The company brings out magazines for several clients including a travel magazine for Club Mahindra and the inflight magazine of Air Deccan (now defunct), called Simplifly.[4] Man's World Magazine Services also publishes a women's magazine My World, launched on 1 September 2006, for retail chain Big Bazaar.[7]
In April 2013, it was reported that the Delhi Press Group was in talks to buy Man’s World.[1]
Radhakrishnan Nair the Publisher of Man' World and Rolling Stone India has sold a majority stake in the magazine to Spenta Multimedia in 2013.

The mobile version of the magazine was launched in June 2006.[8][9]
