He is a London-educated lawyer and a leading journalist. He is the former editor of Business India, Businessworld and Debonair and currently the editor of EducationWorld. One may say that it was Thakore who brought business magazines to India. After returning from London, he practised law in the Mumbai High Court during 1968-71 after which he joined Rallis for four years in Rallis India. Later he realized that law was not his true calling, so he joined Business India magazine as an editor. It was the country’s first-ever business (fortnightly) magazine started by Thakore’s colleague Ashok Advani at the bar of the Bombay High Court. After working as the first editor of Business India for three years, he left it to start Business World magazine (now known as Businessworld). Starting the Business World wasn’t easy at all. After futile discussions with industrialist Jayant Malhoutra and India Today publisher Aroon Purie, he eventually found a like-minded publisher in Aveek Sarkar, chief executive of the Kolkata-based Ananda Bazar Patrika Group with whom he clinched the deal during a 40-minute drive to Bombay airport. He served as editor of BusinessWorld for seven years (1981-87) during which he produced 166 issues of this then fortnightly magazine, and wrote over 100 cover stories which, some believe, transformed the national mindset about the character and potential of private sector business and industry. One may argue that it was the missionaries of BusinessWorld and Business India who deserve a greater share of the credit for the 1991 liberalisation and deregulation of the Indian economy — than others such as Dr Manmohan Singh and Montek Singh Ahluwalia. He left Businessworld in September 1987. And a few months later, he became the editor of Debonair, India’s answer to Playboy in 1988 where he had a short stint of only 12 months. After a not entirely successful stint in the Datamatics Group (1989-97), he became publisher-editor of EducationWorld, a Bangalore-based monthly magazine (established in 1999) which was promoted with the mission “to build the pressure of public opinion to make education the number one item on the national agenda.
