Want to be in Cosmopolitan India? the honest way.

It depends on the format (a brand story online, a page in print, or both), the length and photos, and the dates the magazine has open. You hear the full fee, plus GST, early in a 10-minute call, with what is and isn't included. If it's more than you want to spend, the call ends there.

Its brand-partnership team sets them, and they change with the format, the issue and the season. Rate cards on third-party sites can be years out of date. We don't publish prices on this page: on the call you hear the current fee for the format you want, plus GST, and you get the scope in writing on WhatsApp the same day.

You get 100% of your money back. Cosmopolitan India has the final say and can decline a sponsored story. If your feature doesn't go live, Execlient refunds everything you paid within 7 working days, as our refund policy says.

You pay 100% upfront to EXECLIENT PVT. LTD, a registered company whose CIN and GSTIN are on this page, against a GST invoice. Never an individual. The format, the paid wording and the date are agreed in writing first, and if your feature doesn't go live, you get it all back.

We don't promise any of those. It gives the people who look you up, such as customers, stockists and investors, a page on a title they know, said up front as paid. Google asks publishers to mark paid links as sponsored, so your link brings readers, not rankings. If you need enquiries this month, ads are the better tool, and we run those too.

Yes. You may read that it went digital-only around 2020, but issues still come out six times a year, each dated two months, and its own site marks a story as first appearing in its November-December 2025 print edition. A print page runs in one issue. A story on cosmopolitan.in gives you a link to share. Tell us who you want to reach and when, and we'll suggest one, or both, and confirm in writing which issue is open.

An advertorial, or brand story, is written like a feature about your brand, and it is paid and said up front. An ad is your own creative on a page. We write brand stories from a 30-minute interview; for an ad, you bring the creative or we design it. Either runs only once the magazine accepts it.

Your own story is about your brand alone. If the magazine offers a shared piece for your category instead, such as a product roundup, you know before you pay, with its working title in writing. We never sell a place in anything framed as a pick, a best-of or an award.

A 30-minute interview, high-resolution photos you have the rights to, and one read of the draft. You approve the facts and quotes before it's submitted, and the magazine edits to its house style and has the final say. Timing follows Cosmopolitan India's publishing calendar, and you get the date in writing before you pay.

Maybe a link, but not an SEO backlink. Google asks publishers to mark paid links as sponsored, so a link in a paid story can bring readers to your site, but don't buy it for rankings; we don't sell SEO. Whether a link to your website is included is in your written scope.

Not in those words. Say "Sponsored feature in Cosmopolitan India" in plain text with the link, and say the same on your own posts. Don't write "featured in", "as seen in", "Cosmo-approved" or "in partnership with Cosmopolitan", and don't claim the magazine picked or named you. Don't use its logo without the magazine's written permission, and never make a cover-style image. Creators you pay to share it must label their posts as ads.

Yes, so check first. Medical-ethics rules bar doctors from publicity about their own skill or achievements, and that includes skin and hair clinics. Skincare and wellness stories can't claim to treat or cure a condition. Surrogate ads for liquor and tobacco are banned in India, so a drinks brand's story can't work as a disguised drinks ad; we'll tell you on the call what can run. This is not legal advice, and we'll tell you on the call if we can't take it on.
