Kashmir Life was founded by late Jawahara Shawl in March 2009.

The magazine is now owned by Shawl's brother-in-law, Masood Hussain.

He was appointed as Managing editor of Kashmir life in April, 2017.

Hussain is a veteran journalist and its Managing editor,[1] who formerly worked with the Economic Times, which he left in 2015 after 17 years.

The daily publication of Kashmir Life was halted for over 1 year after the Govt of India abrogated Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir (state) and a complete internet shutdown was observed for over 18 months.
