Making newspaper
advertising
simple.
For more than two decades, Dolphin Advertising has helped businesses, organisations and individuals reach the right audience through newspaper advertising. We began in Pune in 2002 with a simple idea: newspaper advertising should be easy, transparent and accessible to everyone.
Today we work with leading newspapers and publications across India, helping clients choose the right publication, format, location, category and timing for their message.
From a small classified advertisement to a large display campaign, we take care of the process from start to finish — so our clients do not have to navigate the complexities of newspaper advertising on their own.
A submariner’s discipline, applied to advertising.
Dolphin Advertising was founded by Shriharsh Chitte, a former Indian Navy officer who served aboard submarines. After retiring from the Navy, he moved into advertising and began building a business around something he understood deeply from his years of service.
Discipline. Precision. Responsibility. The name Dolphin was drawn from that naval journey, and it became the identity of a company built on the same principles.
What started at one desk in Pune has grown into a newspaper advertising business serving clients across India.
“Precision in execution, reliability in service, and a commitment to getting the job done right.”
Placing an ad is not just buying space.
The right publication, edition, location, category, format and timing change how effectively an advertisement reaches the people it was written for.
That is where we come in. We help clients understand their options, select the appropriate publications and formats, finalise the advertisement and coordinate the publishing process.
Our job is to make the complicated parts simple.
Newspapers
National, regional and local publications across India, spanning many languages and audiences.
End to end
Selection, composition, booking and release are handled by the same team, from Pune.
Neighbourhood to nation
Reach a locality, a city, a state or the whole country — we identify the titles that match the requirement.
Service charge
We are paid by the publications, so your cost is the newspaper’s own rate with nothing added.
Every notice has a reason behind it.
A business announcing a new store. A company recruiting. A family placing a matrimonial. Someone who has lost a document. An organisation issuing a tender or a public notice.

Business & trade
Six reasons the work comes back.
Print has no second draft. Whatever we release is on every copy printed that morning — which is why these six matter.
-
01
One trade, since 2002
Twenty-four years of newspaper advertising and nothing else. We know the process, the publications, and what each one asks for before it will take a booking.
-
02
A network across India
National, regional and local titles, so the reach can be a single neighbourhood, a state, or the whole country — whichever the message actually needs.
-
03
Official partnerships
Direct relationships with leading newspapers, which is what gives you access to the major national and regional titles on the publication’s own terms.
-
04
Advice before the sale
Not sure which paper, edition or format suits? We work it out from your objective and your audience, not from whatever is easiest to sell you.
-
05
The newspaper’s own rate
We are paid by the publications, so no service fee is added to what you pay. The figure we quote is the figure on the newspaper’s card.
-
06
One conversation to book
Tell us what to advertise, where you want to reach people and when it should run. Composition, proofing and release are handled from here.
“Every booking has a purpose behind it. That is why every advertisement gets the same attention.”
Driven by service, not volume.
Over the years Dolphin Advertising has published advertisements across a wide variety of categories and publications. But for us the numbers are only one part of the story.
The real measure of the work is the trust clients place in us when their advertisement matters — a business promotion, a recruitment announcement, a legal notice, a personal message.
We continue to operate from Pune while helping clients reach audiences across India. The ambition is simple: to be the most trusted and easiest-to-work-with newspaper advertising partner in the country. Even in a digital-first world, the right message in the right newspaper still lands.
