About

J’AIPUR Journal is an international arts and culture publication telling East-meets-West stories about people and places that inspire. It was created by Rupi Sood who has spent fifteen years working in the publishing industry as a writer and editor. With a Master’s Degree (Honors) in Contemporary Art from the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, she has an excellent pulse on the global art and luxury markets. Rupi’s entrepreneurial and creative spirit led her to single-handedly launch J’AIPUR which is sold at fine bookshops around the world. Harper’s Bazaar India featured her as a “woman taking control of the narrative”.

The magazine promotes the tenets of quality journalism and highlights the work of emerging and established creatives who have a connection to the East. The jewel-like pink city of Jaipur (India) serves as a muse for her beauty, history, and gypset spirit, but the magazine is truly a crossroad where East and West, old and new, creativity and culture converge to reveal interesting stories along the way.

The print magazine is published annually as a coffee table style edition in New York City and printed in Vancouver, Canada by Hemlock Printers Ltd., one of the leading printing companies in the world. Digital editions are updated on a continuous basis throughout the year.

Digital content is distributed for free whereas collectible print-exclusive editions of J’AIPUR Journal are available for purchase here and in leading bookstores, magazine shops and boutiques which are listed below. If there is a stockist that you think would be a good fit for us, feel free to send a note with your recommendation.
