The Power of Print

Why The Indian Express Still Works in 2026

Print advertising isn't competing with digital for attention — it's winning a different kind of attention entirely.

Reader Attention

20–40 min

Time a reader can spend engaging with a newspaper rather than scrolling past an advertisement.

Attention you don't have to interrupt.

Your Indian Express advertisement appears inside an experience the reader has already chosen to engage with.

Journalism of Courage

Nobody skips a print ad

A digital ad may get a two-second glance between notifications. A Indian Express reader spends 20–40 minutes with the paper, making your newspaper ad part of what they're already paying attention to.

Target the city, not the user

Choose Delhi , Mumbai or any of 10+ Indian Express editions to reach a defined city — without cookies, tracking permissions or changing platform rules.

Delhi • Mumbai • Pune • Ahmedabad • 10+ Editions

Nine decades of "Journalism of Courage"

Since 1932, The Indian Express has been a paper of record for editors, government and courts. Your ad appears next to advertising that people already trust — for categories like property, matrimonial, recruitment, and legal notices, that association works.

One copy, several readers

Newspapers are naturally shared — at home, in the office and in public spaces. A single Indian Express ad insertion can therefore reach more readers than the circulation number alone suggests.

Recruitment Advertising

How to Post a Job Ad in The Indian Express

A highly effective target audience for recruiting, the Indian Express reaches professionals, corporates, education and government in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Lucknow, Nagpur and Vadodara.

What to Put in Your Job Ad

Put the job title first.

Include company name unless the search is confidential.

Mention key qualifications and years of experience.

Add location — city, hybrid or remote.

Include a clear salary range.

Finish with a simple application method.

Best Recruitment Periods

Post-New Year/post-appraisal (Jan–Mar) and mid-year drives (Jul–Sep) are strongest. Avoid the festive slowdown (Oct) and summer lull (May).

Why Job Ads Underperform

Common mistakes that reduce response quality

01 Wrong Day

Express Opportunities publishes Wednesday; Sunday classifieds are the strong second option. A general weekday page is the weak slot.

02 No Salary

Loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.

03 Wrong Edition

A Delhi vacancy placed only in the Pune edition reaches the wrong city entirely.

04 Vague Job Title

"Software Engineer — Delhi — ₹8–12L" gets read. "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.

05 Text-only for Senior Roles

Display with your company logo outperforms plain text for executive hiring.

06 Only Ran Once

2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks beat a single run significantly.

Keep Recruitment Ads Non-Discriminatory

Terms to avoid: Age limits (use "2–5 years experience"), gender exclusions ("Male only," "Salesman"), appearance requirements ("fair complexion," "good-looking"), marital status preferences, regional exclusions ("Locals only"), and misleading titles. The Express editorial desk rejects ads containing these — a missed week and a delayed hire.

Indian Express Matrimonial · Sunday

The Indian Express Matrimonial Ad Guide
