The flagship company of the group, Mangalam Publications (India) Private Limited, published Mangalam weekly in Malayalam. It began in 1969, as a monthly journal, with a meagre circulation of 250 copies, turned to a fortnightly and became a weekly, smashing the record in Indian journalism with a circulation of over 1.5 million copies. The weekly, deep within a widely varied package of humour, stories, human sentiments and helpful information, guided people in all walks of lives. M.C. Varghese, nicknamed the "Doyen of Magazine journalism" in Malayalam has succeeded in making Mangalam a household name in Kerala.
As the word Mangalam means, the guiding principles of the Group are
- Good for all seasons
- Good for all ages
- Good for all those who make the world a better place
The Mangalam Group, which does not consist solely of publications, also include
- Mangalam Hospitals (P) Limited
- Mangalam Confectionery (P) Limited
- Mangalam Homes and Resorts Private Limited
The Mangalam foundation runs an English medium residential high school and a B.Ed college.
