Press Release Distribution Services in India That Actually Get Coverage
Writing, distribution, and media placement — handled end-to-end by a PR agency with 15+ years of journalist relationships across Bennett Coleman, India Today Group, BBC, Reuters, PTI, and ANI. We manage press release distribution in India through direct outreach to relevant journalists, not mass newswire syndication.
Every press release engagement includes
Strategic angle development
So your release earns coverage instead of getting ignored.
Professional writing
Written by former journalists, not templated copy.
Direct media network distribution
Distribution to our own media network, not just newswire blasts.
Targeted pitching
Pitched to relevant beat journalists, not a mass spray-and-pray.
Coverage tracking and reporting
Tracked and reported after distribution, so you see where it ran.
One round of revisions
Included before distribution, so the release goes out right.
Why Press Releases Fail (and how we fix it)
Most press releases don’t fail because of bad writing — they fail because they’re sent to the wrong journalists with no relationship behind the pitch. A newswire blast gets you a listing on a syndication site nobody reads. What gets you real coverage is a direct relationship with the right reporter, at the right outlet, pitched with an angle they actually want.
That’s the difference between a press release service and a press release agency — and it’s why our clients get picked up by real publications, not just indexed on a distribution site.

Scoped by reach and media tier
Press release packages are scoped by distribution reach and media tier — a single-release engagement and a monthly retainer for ongoing announcements are priced differently. Rather than a generic “starting at ₹X” number that doesn’t reflect your actual need, we quote after a short discovery call so you’re not overpaying for reach you don’t need, or underpaying for a story that needs wider placement.
Press release distribution, answered
How much does a press release cost in India?
Cost depends on distribution scope and media tier — a local single-city release costs less than a national campaign with tier-1 outlet placement. We provide a fixed quote after understanding your goals on a free discovery call.
How long does press release distribution take?
Typically 3–5 business days from final draft sign-off to distribution, though breaking news or time-sensitive announcements can be expedited.
Do you write the press release, or do I need to provide it?
We write it. You provide the facts and context; our team — including former journalists — shapes it into something newsworthy.
What's the difference between press release distribution and media relations?
Press release distribution is built around one specific announcement — we write it, develop a media angle, and pitch it directly to relevant journalists in our network for that single story. Media relations (our other core practice) is ongoing relationship-building with journalists that isn’t tied to any single announcement, aimed at sustained visibility over time. Neither is a starter version of the other — many clients use both side by side, choosing whichever matches what they need right now.
Can you guarantee media coverage?
No agency honestly can — journalists make independent editorial decisions, and anyone promising guaranteed placements is either overstating or paying for sponsored content rather than earned coverage. What we can guarantee is a strategically written release, targeted distribution to relevant journalists, and pitching informed by 15+ years of media relationships — which is what actually drives pickup rates.
Which publications do you target?
Targeting depends on your industry, audience, and the announcement itself — we match your release to journalists and outlets who actually cover that beat, rather than blasting a generic list.
Will I receive a coverage report after distribution?
Yes — every engagement includes a post-distribution report showing where your release ran and the coverage secured.
