What is the power of Impact?

“We set great store by power, wealth, success and fame, the goals that await us at the end of our successful endeavours. They are the four pillars of measure—and they may work as certificates of merit but not of character. The real magic lies in what you do with them to a greater end,” writes Priya Tanna, editor-in-chief, Vogue India, in her editor’s letter for our upcoming February issue.

The positive impact one creates—whether for one person, an entire community, or the world at large—lies at the core of the Vogue India’s February 2019 issue. All around us, people are shaping the world around us in constructive ways, either by giving, using their influence or by making choices that have far-reaching consequences, and this forms the basis of our next read, which is focused on the theme of Impact. Our changemakers span everyone from a lawyer-activist spearheading the world’s biggest beach clean-up to a popular actor starting a crowdfunding website, and we also explore the impact of choice on the career trajectories of our favourite creatives, delving into how seemingly small decisions went a long way in real life.

As we wait for our February issue to hit stands, we’re taking a deep dive into “Impact” on Vogue.in—with not just the people affecting change now, but also how you can contribute. Watch this space for more.
