History
MissMalini.com was launched in 2008 by Malini Agarwal as a personal blog. She had previously been writing a gossip column for Mid-Day, a Mumbai tabloid, and decided to expand her writing into a blog. As the blog gained popularity, she left her job at Channel V to focus on it full-time. MissMalini.com covers a variety of topics, including Bollywood, fashion, lifestyle, travel, food, and nightlife. The platform is inspired by international sites like PopSugar and Perez Hilton. MissMalini.com became an official media partner for major fashion events in India, such as Lakme Fashion Week, Blender's Pride Fashion Tour, and India Resort Fashion Week.
