FAQ
Fortune India PR questions
How can I get featured in Fortune India?
Bring a company or leadership story with substance: a strategy, the decisions behind it and the evidence that it is working. Indian PR Distribution (IPRD)® builds that story and takes it to the right editor.
Is Fortune India coverage paid or editorial?
Editorial coverage and rankings are decided by Fortune India's editors and cannot be bought. Paid formats, where the publication offers them, are commercial and labelled as such. We advise which route fits your objective.
How does a company get into the Fortune India 500?
The Fortune India 500 and Next 500 are rankings compiled by the magazine on its own methodology. PR does not decide inclusion. What we can do is make sure a company's story is told well alongside it.
Can a founder or CEO be interviewed by Fortune India?
Yes, when they have a clear view on strategy, leadership or their sector, and a company story that backs it. We prepare leaders for long-form interviews.
Who publishes Fortune India?
Fortune India is published by the RPSG Group, which acquired the exclusive licence for print and digital formats in July 2020. The magazine launched in India in 2010.
Should I target Fortune India or Forbes India?
Both reach founders and senior executives. Fortune India leans towards corporate strategy and rankings of companies and leaders; Forbes India towards founder profiles and lists such as 30 Under 30. The angle decides which suits you, and often both can be pursued.
