The list of top ten magazines, according to the figures released by the Indian Readership Survey 2013, provides several interesting insights. These are:
- Nine of the top ten magazines are from two languages only: Hindi and Malyalam. Of this, five are in Hindi and four in Malayalam.
- Three of the top ten magazines are monthly, which shows that even in this instant era of information readers are willing to wait for a month to get their information.
- There is a clear market for employment-based information. This is evident from the fact that two of the top ten monthlies are career magazines, and their readership is over one million each.
- India Today is still the top news weekly with both its English and Hindi editions featuring in the top ten list.
