Luxury business magazine LuxeTrope launched

LuxeTrope, the luxury business magazine powered by AstaGuru, is here. Headquartered in Mumbai, the magazine has been crafted to be a sophisticated resource for high-net-worth individuals and connoisseurs who want more than aesthetic appeal from their media.

LuxeTrope distinguishes itself through content that goes beyond the obvious to explore what truly defines elegant living. It’s a wholesome mix of immersive storytelling and insightful research that’s thoughtfully curated for discerning HNIs and individuals who value craftsmanship, intention and originality. Think: stories that blend data, cultural depth and a strong editorial voice to deliver a reading experience that feels both refreshing and enriching. The editorial approach balances analysis with inspiring narratives, exclusive interviews, and updates from the world of luxury.

For the premiere issue, LuxeTrope takes a deep look into the art market, spotlighting the artists, collectors and visionaries shaping art today. Intrepid collector Manoj Israni features on the inaugural cover—he shares insights on art collecting, highlighting why timing is a patron’s most crucial tool. Inside, you’ll also find an analysis of the Indian art market and a rundown of key auction figures, as well as a curated review of record-breaking art sales at AstaGuru between 2024 and 2026.

The magazine aims to decode market trends and valuations, consumer behaviour, and the rise of a mid-market segment that has contributed to India’s luxury boom in 2025-26, all the while exploring what it means to be a connoisseur in an ever-changing art landscape.

Vivek Pareek, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, LuxeTrope magazine, said, “The launch of LuxeTrope is especially significant because the market is poised to transform in multiple ways. With evolving tastes and the geo-political factors governing HNI sentiment, 2026 is likely to rewrite how luxury is perceived and consumed. LuxeTrope aims to bring critical information for the afluent and seasoned reader, and we are excited to launch with The Art Issue. It is a fascinating market, and the issue clearly highlights how art is emerging as the alternative asset choice.”

LuxeTrope is now available for readers seeking a thoughtful perspective on the business of luxury on newsstands across India.
