Why publish your business news on India News Grid?
Be found when people search your name
Investors, customers and candidates look you up. A news page in your own words gives them a clear, dated record of what you have built.
Help AI tools describe you correctly
When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity about your startup, those tools look for clear, structured sources. A release with your name, founders, date and announcement gives them one.
A link worth sharing
Use it in pitch decks, investor updates, LinkedIn posts and on your website's press page.
Affordable for early-stage teams
₹499 + GST per release, with no retainer, plan or minimum commitment.
India News Grid does not guarantee search ranking, AI citations, traffic or placement. Results vary.
What a good startup press release includes

- A dateline: city and date, for example "Bengaluru, 12 October 2026".
- A first paragraph that answers who, what, when, where and why.
- Facts and figures: amounts, dates, user numbers and names, not adjectives.
- One quote from a founder or another named spokesperson.
- An "About" paragraph describing your startup in 3–4 lines.
- A media contact: name, email and phone number.
- "[Startup] raises ₹[amount] in seed funding led by [investor] to expand [product] to [cities]"
- "[Startup] launches [product], an app that helps [customers] to [benefit]"
- "[Startup] appoints [name] as Chief Technology Officer"
