The first issue of ELLE Decor Inde contains 160 pages, 25 of which are devoted to advertising, and the print run is 35,000. Sold for 100 rupees (about 16 francs), the magazine is aimed particularly at a new and privileged Indian women generation which has been to university. These readers speak English, work and want to open their minds to the spirit and mix of styles typical of ELLE Décoration.

ELLE Décor will be the first decoration magazine proposing a wide range of interiors, both Indian and international, enriched with shopping pages and practical advice.

Six Indian journalists put the magazine together in Bombay under Chief Editor Pramiti Madhavji, previously Artistic Director and editor of the decoration section of the Indian version of ELLE. ELLE Decor will appear every three months.
