Two way publication options
Execlient gets your brand into Financial Express on financialexpress.com, in its 11 daily city editions, or both. Online, it's a paid story about you; in print, it's your own ad in the cities you pick.
One paid story about your company on financialexpress.com: a founder profile, an interview, or launch or funding news, with your photos.
Your own creative on a full page of the daily, booked edition by edition.
Your brand in a shared, list-style article with a few others. It never reads like a ranking.
A smaller ad, in the editions and on the days you choose.
A filmed interview, a live session or a quiz built around your story, made with the paper's brand team.
An extra page of your ad wrapped around the paper, for a launch-day or results-day splash.
Several stories, or a small hub, around one money theme, like the budget and investing series its media kit pitches.
Your ad alone on page 3, or your own leaflet slipped inside the paper.

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.

It covers business, markets, the economy and personal finance, runs BrandWagon on marketing, and holds its own events and awards.

Reach
Execlient places your story where Financial Express is read: its 11 print editions and financialexpress.com, by people who follow business and money.
Users, page views and age are the publisher's own figures for December 2024 (Google Analytics), from its 2025 media kit. We don't quote a print circulation, because we couldn't find a current audited figure.

Categories from paid stories in the publisher's own media kits (2020 and 2025), a past paid story on its site, and the topics of its events.

What worries founders
What Execlient does
The call
About 10 minutes with the person who plans your feature. You hear the price early. If Financial Express 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 news story to the paper's reporters and editors, and they decide. A paid feature is a brand story on financialexpress.com, or your ad in the print editions: we interview you, write the draft, you approve it, and it runs once the paper's brand team accepts it. The paid route is the only one we arrange.
If you mean an opinion piece or a column, you pitch it to the paper's editors yourself, for free, and they choose what runs; nobody can buy a place on the opinion pages. If you mean a story about your company, the paid route is a brand story on financialexpress.com: written with you, about you, and paid for. We tell you it's paid from the first call, and we never pass it off as news.
It's paid, and we say so up front. Older paid stories on financialexpress.com sat under a "Sponsored" section, but how a page is marked today, such as its section or tag, is set by the paper's brand team, so we don't promise a particular label here. You get it in writing before you pay. It is never "paid news": we don't book anything dressed up as news.
No. Execlient is an independent agency, not part of or endorsed by Financial Express or its publisher. Execlient is your one point of contact: the angle, the interview, the draft, your approvals and the live link.
No. That is a different English daily, published in Dhaka, with its own website. This page is about India's business daily: financialexpress.com and its 11 print editions, from Delhi and Mumbai to Kochi and Lucknow. If you want the Bangladesh paper, ask us and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Nobody can buy one. FE Best Banks Award winners are picked by an independent jury from three years of RBI data compiled by the awards' knowledge partner, and the FE CFO Awards have been decided by a jury too. We found no open application or nomination route for either, so there's no entry for us to help with, and nobody can sell you a place, including us.
Not as news. What runs on the front page as news is the editors' call. What can be bought there is advertising, such as a jacket wrapped around the paper, and it reads as an ad. The "front page" or "cover page" prices people ask about are for those ad spots, not a news story about you.
It depends on the format (your own story online, a place in a shared listicle, or a print ad), the editions and the dates 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.
Print rates change with the edition, the size, the page and the day, so we don't publish a rate card here. Tell us your cities and dates, and we quote the current fee, plus GST, on the call. A print ad is your own creative and reads as an ad; if you want a written story about you, that runs online.
You get 100% of your money back. The paper reviews every paid story and ad before it runs, and can decline one. If yours 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 section 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, partners and investors, a page on a national business daily's website that they know. We don't promise whether or where it shows up in search. If you need enquiries this month, ads are the better tool, and we run those too.
Online, if you want a story about you: a page you can link to and share. Print, if you want your own ad in front of readers in particular cities on a particular day. Some brands do both around one moment, like a launch or results day. On the call we'll tell you which fits, and whether either is worth it for you.
Either, depending on the format you choose. Your own story is about your company alone. A listicle puts your brand in a shared, list-style article with a few others; it isn't a ranking or a pick by Financial Express. You get the format, the length and the working title in writing before you pay.
A 30-minute interview, high-resolution photos you have the rights to, your logo, facts you can back up, and one read of the draft. You approve the draft before it's submitted; the paper may edit it to its house style and has the final say. Timing follows its calendar, and you get the date, and how long it stays live, 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 Financial Express" in plain text with the link. Don't write "featured in", "as seen in" or "covered by", and don't claim the paper chose, ranked or reported on you. Don't use its logo without its written permission, and never make a front-page-style image.
Yes. On your own page, say it's a sponsored feature. Any paid post on the paper's own handles is labelled as paid at the start, as the ASCI code requires. If you pay creators to share it, they must label their posts as ads and use the platform's paid label.
Yes, so check first. Investment advisers and research analysts must follow SEBI's advertisement code, and insurers IRDAI's rules on advertising; they apply to a paid story too. Medical-ethics rules bar doctors from publicity about their own skills or achievements. Bar Council rules bar advocates from advertising, and ICAI limits what a practising CA can advertise, so we don't sell a feature about your own practice. A developer's story that names a project must show its RERA number and the authority's website. This is not legal advice, and we'll tell you on the call what can run.
