About us
Our team
Nookmag is a collaborative effort from average Joes and Janes pursuing their passion on a part-time basis. We do not aim to provide you with the latest releases or information but rather a platform to share and exchange what we like and what’s happening around us.
At the moment, Nookmag is focused on local features, lifestyle & gigs. We do not know where Nookmag will lead us, but that’s okay as it is all about having fun, doing things we like and in the course of that, meeting new friends.
We are constantly looking out for contributors and crew. If you have a good sense for fashion and urban cultures, heaps of passion and most importantly; a fun personality, write to us at info@nookmag.com and who knows, you may have your very own monthly column with us.
By the way, we do not mind making some “buckaroos” , so if you are running an advertisement campaign and wish to tap on to our readers,”Welcome” and it’s not gonna cost you arms and legs!
Yankit. Founder
A husband, father & son! A MNC executive by day and a "wannabe" at night. His Interest includes cycling, photography, shopping & daydreaming. He is the perfect synonym for "Jack of all trade, master of none".
Founded Nookmag on the pretext of having fun and to share the stuff that he likes. All in all, It’s just a funny way of justifying his fetish on shoes, toys and lifestyle. One must say that he has absolutely no character at all, has the weirdest sense of humour and dresses a bit too young for his age but other than that, he is all right. You can catch hold of him at yankit@nookmag.com.

Avid angler that loves beaches, sun and lately, cycling.

The worm he is. A decent professional by day, a SHIT by night! (SHIT = Super Humorous Irritating Talent). A nonsense kid trapped in an adult body. A fan of hiphop, a cool wannabe, loves basketball, beatboxing, breakdancing, beaches and b-cups!
Worm was invited to join the Nookmag to do what he can do best... Irritate the rest of the crew.

Fish doesn’t eat fish.
Wants to be free as the fishes but can’t really swim!
Daydreaming is her hobby but she has no savings to make her dreams come true.
She wants to own a cosy café to showcase the photos she took, play the music she likes and blend her very own coffee. If you are lucky one day, you might just get to try her coffee. She likes everything that makes her happy and believes that ‘LOVE is all around’.
