Gentleman was an English language literary magazine published in India from 1980 to 2001.

[1][2] Its founder-editor was Minhaz Merchant[3] of the Sterling Publications, which sold this and other magazines to the Indian Express Group in 1987.

They had to stick to the name due to corporate red-tape, and as a relief, used the tagline "Gentleman: Mindspace for Men".

It went beyond its ambit of being a 'men's' magazine and published stories on current affairs, social issues, indepth journalism, crime, politics, food, music, movies, poetry, arts, fiction (including Comics) and personalities.

Gentleman groomed a set of journalists and writers who found an outlet and an audience for stories that might have otherwise been considered offbeat or 'alternative' by the Indian Mainstream media.
