Two way publication options
Execlient gets your brand a paid feature in The Times of India on its website, in the printed paper, or both. Here is what each side holds.
One paid story about your company, launch or founder on the TOI website, written from your interview and marked as paid.
A paid page in the main paper, in the city editions you pick, carrying the paper's printed paid marker.
A short video story about your brand, made with the paper's branded-content studio when a slot is open.
A promotional feature in a city supplement such as Delhi Times or Bombay Times, for lifestyle, food, fashion and entertainment brands.
Your story told in pictures or one clear graphic, formats the studio has made for brands since 2016.
A print page and a website story around one moment: a launch, an opening or the festive season.
Posts for your own LinkedIn and Instagram built from the live story, and a press block for your website, with the paid label kept.
A clean scan of your printed page for your deck, website and posts, with the paid marker left in view.

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.

The publication
"The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce"Its name at launch, on 3 November 1838. It took its present name in 1861.
The Times of India is an English-language daily, first published in 1838 and printed every day since 1850. It covers city news, India, the world, business and sport, and its city supplements, such as Delhi Times and Bombay Times, cover entertainment, fashion, food and fitness. Online, it runs at timesofindia.indiatimes.com. Paid stories carry a paid disclosure, and those are the only ones Execlient arranges.
Photos illustrative. The screens are a mock-up, not a real article.

Who gets featured in The Times of India
Businesses that sell to people in a city, or want a city to know their name. Execlient makes your Times of India feature read like a story, not an ad.

Online or in printA new campus or course, with no made-up selection or rank claims.
Online or in printA launch, a new store or a festive season, in the cities where you sell.
City supplementsRestaurants, labels and studios, often a fit for Delhi Times, Bombay Times and the other city supplements.

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 Times of India 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 real news to its reporters, and they decide. A paid feature is your story, written up and marked as paid, online or in print. We interview you, write the draft, you approve it, and it runs once The Times of India's brand team accepts it. The paid, marked route is the only one we arrange.
Yes, and we only arrange formats that do. Paid stories on its website carry a paid disclosure, and print advertorials carry a printed marker such as "Advertorial". Its city supplements print a note under the masthead saying their pages include promotional features. The exact wording depends on the format, so we show it to you before you pay. People will know you paid, and that's fine: what backfires is pretending you were picked.
Spotlight is the branded-content studio its publisher set up in 2016 to make sponsored stories, videos, galleries and infographics for brands. It makes branded content, not news reports. Execlient is not part of Spotlight: we plan and write your story with you, and the paper's own team decides the final form and the label.
Not the way we arrange it. "Paid news" means paid content passed off as reporting. A paid feature says it's paid. We only arrange stories that carry the paper's paid disclosure, and we turn down the "no disclaimer" or "organic" placements some sellers offer.
No to both. Execlient is an independent agency, not part of or endorsed by The Times of India or its publisher, and not a classifieds or ad-booking desk. We arrange paid features: the angle, the interview, the draft, your approvals and the live link or printed page. We've worked since 2015, were incorporated in 2021, and our CIN and GSTIN are on this page.
No. News reports, front-page stories and interviews are chosen by its newsroom. Its awards, such as the Times of India Sports Awards and the TOI Social Impact Honours, are decided by juries. Money can't buy any of them, from us or anyone. Some of its awards openly invite nominations; when one is open, we can help you prepare an entry, and the jury decides.
It depends on the format (a website story, a print page or a supplement feature), the editions, the length and the dates the paper 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.
No. We don't book display or classified ads, and we don't quote its rate card. For an ad, book with the paper's own advertising team or an agency that books ads. What we arrange is different: a paid feature, your story written up and marked as paid. If an ad on a set date suits you better, we'll tell you so on the call.
Because it's usually a different product: a press release, a product listicle, or a placement sold as having no disclaimer. Ask any seller, us included, for the format, the section, the label and the refund terms in writing. You get ours before you pay, and we don't sell unmarked placements or places in "top 10" lists.
You get 100% of your money back. The Times of India reviews every paid story before it runs and can decline one. 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 label 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 new hires, a page on a title they know, marked as paid. A link in a paid story brings readers, not rankings. If you need enquiries this month, ads are the better tool, and we run those too.
Online if you want a link people can open, share and find when they search your name. Print if you want a city to see you in the paper on a given day: advertorial pages in the main paper run in the editions you choose, and city supplements such as Delhi Times and Bombay Times suit lifestyle, food, fashion and entertainment brands. Many businesses do both around one moment. Print space varies by city and date, so we check what's open first.
Your own story, unless you choose otherwise. If a format would put you on a shared page with other brands, as some supplement pages do, you know before you pay, with the working title in writing. We don't sell places in product listicles or anything framed as 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 paper edits to its house style and has the final say. Timing follows The Times of India's calendar and the editions you pick, 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 The Times of India", in plain text with the link. Don't write "featured in", "as seen in" or "TOI-approved", and don't claim the paper picked or named you. Don't use its logo without the paper's written permission, and never mock up a front page.
Yes. On your own pages, say it's a sponsored feature. If you pay creators to share it, they must label their posts as ads, as the ASCI code requires, and use the platform's paid label.
Yes, so check first. Medical-ethics rules treat doctors soliciting patients as unethical, and the National Medical Commission's advertising guidelines of October 2026 cover hospitals too. A developer's story must show a named project's RERA number and the authority's website. Coaching institutes can't make false claims about selections, ranks or success rates, under the 2024 consumer-protection guidelines for the sector. This is not legal advice, and we'll tell you on the call if we can't take it on.
