Why publish your news on India News Grid?
Found when people search your name
Readers, fans, organisers and brands look you up. A news page about your book, release or show, in your own words, gives them a clear, dated source.
Help AI tools describe you correctly
When someone asks an AI tool about you or your work, a factual release with your name, work and achievements gives them a reliable source.
A link for your press kit
Add it to your website, bio, press kit, festival entries and award applications.
Published under your name
Individuals can register and publish without a company.
India News Grid does not guarantee search ranking, AI citations, sales, streams or placement. Results vary.
Guidelines for creators
Your own work
Publish only work you created or have the rights to announce, and credit collaborators.
No copyrighted material you do not own
Do not include full lyrics, book chapters, film clips or images you do not have the rights to use.
Disclose paid partnerships
If a brand paid for a collaboration you announce, say so clearly.
Accurate achievements
Mention awards, bestseller lists, streams or follower numbers only if they are accurate and current.
Photo credits
Credit photographers and designers for images and covers.
