As companies and organizations within India look for new ways to boost the performance of their PR campaigns, they are increasingly turning to press release distribution services as a way to connect with new audiences and customers. However, not all India press release distribution services are created equal. The best press release distribution services in India share several key characteristics: they have a wide and broad distribution network, they provide quick and proven results, and they provide plenty of extra features and options to make the creation, delivery and distribution of press releases as seamless as possible. With that in mind, here's a closer look at the 20 best Indian press release distribution services.

Top on our ranking is PRIndiaWire.com. After taking several features into consideration, such as pricing, reach, customer support, and number of pickups, we decided to rank PR India Wire as #1 press release distribution service in India. At a time when other reputed Indian PR distribution companies are guaranteeing placement on 10 to 100 online news sites, PR India Wire guarantees publication of press release in up to 600 online news sites.

Your press release can be 3000 words long and they still won’t charge you any extra premium.
