Publish a Press Release on PTI Without the Usual Hassle
Tell us what you're announcing over WhatsApp or the contact form, and we handle the writing, approval and wire submission on PTI from there.
What PTI actually is
PTI (Press Trust of India) is India's largest multimedia news agency, founded in 1949. It supplies news content to the vast majority of major Indian newspapers, TV channels and digital publishers — one of the highest-reach wire distribution channels available in India.
Understand what you're actually getting
A PTI press release goes out through the same wire network newspapers and channels pull national news from — it is not a sponsored blog post or a guaranteed feature article. Every release still goes through PTI's own approval process before it's accepted, and individual pickup by other publications is always an editorial decision on their side, not ours.
