yourstory.com

YourStory.com is India's premier media platform dedicated to the startup ecosystem, featuring entrepreneur stories, company profiles, and curated directories like YS Pages—once the largest startup directory with over 2,000 listings across 18 categories. It's ideal for Indian startups and founders seeking visibility through editorial features, funding insights, and community exposure, rather than a traditional open-submission directory.

For SEO value, a successful feature provides a high-quality 22 Domain Rating backlink (dofollow, equivalent in strength to Product Hunt), driving referral traffic from YourStory's large audience of entrepreneurs, investors, and tech enthusiasts. While not guaranteed, these links from an authoritative Indian media site boost domain authority and search rankings, especially for regional relevance.

Tips for getting featured: Email editorial@yourstory.com with subject 'Story Request – ' including your name, mobile, email, website, social handles, and a compelling startup story (focus on traction, MVP with users, 4-6 months old, MCA-registered). Use your official company email for credibility; avoid self-promotion or launches—highlight founder journey and market validation. Follow relevant YourStory authors on social media for niche alignment, but don't spam.
