About The Founder
Ms. Dimple Arora, the visionary founder of Musafir Media Hub, has come a long way from her humble beginnings in a small town of Haryana. A proud alumnus of University College Kurukshetra, Ms. Arora's passion for the travel industry led her to pursue various roles, honing her expertise and laying the foundation for her future endeavors.
In 2014, Ms. Arora took the entrepreneurial leap with D Travel Mall, a travel agency that marked the beginning of her startup journey. However, her innovative spirit and keen eye for opportunity soon led her to explore the uncharted territory of travel media. Thus, Musafir Media Hub was born in 2018, envisioned as a digital platform to represent India on the international stage.
In August 2019, Musafir Media Hub officially launched its digital travel magazine in Hindi and English, curating stories that promote Indian tourism and culture globally. Taking this vision further, in August 2025, Musafir Media proudly unveiled its print edition, expanding its reach and impact across readers worldwide.
Adding another milestone, the 6th anniversary of Musafir Media Hub marked the launch of The Musafir Podcast (TMP) on YouTube, hosted by Ms. Arora herself. The podcast brings together inspiring voices from the world of travel, hospitality, and culture—offering listeners a blend of knowledge, experiences, and untold stories.
Today, under Ms. Arora’s leadership, Musafir Media Hub stands as a dynamic platform combining print, digital, and audio-visual media, continuing its mission to spotlight India’s travel heritage and connect it with the global audience.
"Musafir Media is not just publishing stories, it’s curating soulful journeys where innovation meets inspiration, voices become movements."
Dimple Arora ( Founder Editor )
"Through every conversation on TMP, I journey with voices that inspire, explore untold stories, and celebrate human wanderlust."
