Chandamama was a classic Indian monthly magazine for children, known for its illustrations and long-running mythological and magical stories.

In 2007, Chandamama was acquired by Geodesic, a Mumbai-based software services company, with plans to transition the 60-year-old magazine into the digital era.

However, the magazine is now defunct because Geodesic defaulted on outstanding loans and was ordered to be wound up by the Mumbai High Court.

[1] As of July 2016, the current status of the magazine is uncertain, as the parent company Geodesic is undergoing liquidation.

While it continued to carry old favourites like Vetala Panchavimshati and mythological tales, there were several new additions including contemporary stories, adventure serials, sports, technology, news pages, etc.

Considering the new trends in children's literature and the emerging importance given to academic study and analysis of the same, Chandamama had striven to keep its editorial policies in line with the times.

As the oldest brand in the field, Chandamama had taken up the responsibility of delivering entertaining, sensitive, and educational literature for its young readers.

Mythology, epics, fables, parables and even useful hearsay were spun suitably to feed the impressionable minds so that they seek the right direction in life, even while entertaining them thoroughly.

In each issue, the Vetala, in order to prevent him fulfill a vow, poses a typical catch-22 question to king Vikramāditya, involving a moral dilemma.

[5] As of July 2016, the current status of the magazine is unknown - as the parent company Geodesic is under the liquidation process and the Chandamama brand and IP is expected to be sold off in due course.

[6] In late 2007, Chandamama released its revamped internet presence to better cater to readers who demand information and content beyond the printed publication.
