Two way publication options
Execlient gets your brand featured in ELLE India on elle.in, in the magazine, or both. Here is what each side holds.
One paid story about your label, launch or collection on elle.in, with your images, said up front as paid.
A brand-written page in a chosen issue, said up front as paid.
Your elle.in story, shared as an Instagram story with a link, where your package includes it. Paid posts on its handles are labelled as paid, as the ASCI code requires.
Your own creative on a full page in the issue. An ad, not a feature.
Your banner on elle.in, or a takeover of the site for a set period. An ad, not a feature.
Your own creative across a double-page spread.
From Execlient: Instagram and LinkedIn posts from the live story, and a press block for your website, with the paid wording kept.
An elle.in story and a print page around one moment: a launch, the festive season or wedding season.
Either way
Formats as listed for ELLE India on media-buying sites in 2026, and as seen on elle.in. "Ask what's open" means availability changes by issue and season; we confirm it in writing before you pay.

Who is Execlient
Execlient is a full-stack digital agency in Gurugram, working with brands since 2015. We bring strategy, branding, websites, performance marketing and AI automation under one roof, so every part of your marketing works towards the same goal: more enquiries, more customers and more sales.
Your customers are already searching, scrolling and reading. We make sure they find you there: a brand they remember, a website that works on every phone, and ads on Google, Instagram and LinkedIn that bring in calls, not just clicks.
Good marketing starts with a plan, not a post. We study your market, your competitors and your numbers, then build campaigns and content around who your buyers are, what they look for and why they should pick you.
Once the basics work, we scale what's working. Ads, content and AI automation run together, and every month you see the calls, leads and sales they brought in, so each rupee you spend has a clear job.
Strategy + Creativity + Technology + AI = One Growth Partner.

Execlient arranges paid brand stories there with its brand-partnership team, said up front as paid. Homes and design are a separate title, Elle Decor India, with its own page.
Covers are editorial and never sold. Your story runs inside, said up front as paid.
First issue: ELLE India's About page. Sections: elle.in's own section list. Instagram count read from the public profile on 14 Nov 2026.

First issue: ELLE India's About page. Instagram count read from the public profile on 14 Nov 2026. Beauty Awards and open entries: elle.in, Jun 2025 to Oct 2026. We found no audited circulation figure, and the numbers ad sellers quote disagree, so we don't quote one.
Its own honours and award nights. Sponsors are named as partners; honourees are never for sale.
Who reads ELLE India
By its own description, the magazine writes for women who love fashion and follow culture and debate. Execlient puts your story in front of them.

Who gets featured in ELLE India
Beauty, fashion, watch and travel brands appear in brand-led stories on elle.in and as partners of its award nights. Execlient makes your feature read like a story, not an ad.
Seen on elle.inA launch, a ritual or a new range, told without medical claims.
Seen on elle.inA new collection or a collaboration, told through the people who made it.
Seen on elle.inA launch, a bridal line or a heritage piece, for the people who will wear it.
Seen on elle.inA stay or a getaway, seen before a guest books it.
Good fitPlanners, venues and designers, showing a wedding with the couple's consent.
Good fitThe founder behind a new label, and why it exists.
"Seen on elle.in": categories we saw in brand-led stories and on its event-partner pages, read 14 Nov 2026. A page doesn't show whether it was paid, so we give no counts. "Good fit": Execlient's judgement. Photos are illustrative. Doctors and clinics: check your professional rules before you book.
Is your industry a fit? Ask us. If ELLE India doesn't suit you, we'll say so.
Never for sale
The magazine's editors, juries and readers decide these. Nobody can sell you a place, including Execlient.
From elle.in pages dated June 2025 to November 2026, and a 5 Nov 2026 press release on the 20th Beauty Awards. Neither entry page we read mentions a fee, and the 2026 release says no brand paid to be nominated.

What worries founders
What Execlient does
The call
About 10 minutes with the person who plans your feature. You hear the price early. If the magazine isn't right for you, we'll say so, and nobody chases you afterwards.
Before you call
Straight answers from Execlient, so you know what fits before you call. Last checked .
There are two routes. Editorial coverage is free but never certain: you pitch a real story to its editors, and they decide. A sponsored feature is paid and said up front: a brand story on elle.in, a page in the magazine, or both, arranged with its brand-partnership team. We interview you, prepare the story with you, and it runs once the magazine accepts it. The sponsored route is the only one we arrange.
It's paid, and we say so up front. The magazine decides how its own pages are marked, so we don't promise a particular label. Before you pay, we confirm in writing exactly how yours will be marked, so you know how the page will read. People will know you paid, and that's fine: what backfires is pretending you were picked.
No. Execlient is an independent agency, not part of or endorsed by ELLE India or its publisher. Execlient is your one point of contact: the angle, the interview, the draft, your approvals and the live link. Your feature runs on elle.in or in the Indian magazine, not in another country's edition or a sister title.
No. Its editors choose the covers, in print and online, and nobody can buy one. The "cover" prices on magazine rate cards are ad positions, such as the inside or back cover, not a cover story. We don't sell covers, we don't make cover-style images, and we never call a photoshoot a magazine shoot.
No. The ELLE List, the Beauty Awards, Graduates and DigitELLE are the magazine's own, and nobody can sell a win or a place in them. Brands can sponsor its award nights and are named as partners: that buys visibility, never a place. A paid story is still a paid story, even next to a list: call it a sponsored feature, never a pick.
Yes, both have taken open entries. For the Beauty Awards, brands nominated products through a form linked from elle.in in 2025; its beauty team, a jury and readers then decide. For Graduates, labels four years old or younger applied by email with photos and a short profile. Neither entry page we read mentions a fee. When a window opens, we can help you prepare an entry, but nobody can sell you a win.
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. The magazine 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 marking 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 stockists, buyers and new customers, 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, it is still in print: its 2026 issues are on stands and on digital newsstands. A print page runs in one issue; a story on elle.in gives you a link to share. Which issues have space, and when, we confirm on the call. Tell us who you want to reach and when, and we'll suggest one, or both.
You can pitch a story idea to its editors for free, and they decide; that is editorial, and nobody can promise it. A paid brand story, or advertorial, is different: we write it from a 30-minute interview, you approve it, and it runs once the magazine accepts it. An ad is your own creative on a page or a banner, not a story.
Your own story is about your brand alone. If the magazine offers a shared piece for your category instead, you know before you pay, with its working title in writing. We never sell a place in anything framed as a pick or a ranking.
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 its 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 ELLE India" in plain text with the link, on your site and in your posts. Don't write "featured in", "as seen in", "ELLE-approved" or "in partnership with ELLE India", and don't claim the magazine picked or named you. Don't use its logo without its written permission. If you pay creators to share it, they 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. Beauty stories can't claim to treat or cure a condition, or promise fairness. Jewellers say "hallmarked" only for BIS-hallmarked pieces and name lab-grown stones as lab-grown. This is not legal advice, and we'll tell you on the call if we can't take it on.
