Not sure which day works best? Call our Pune team - we'll recommend the exact edition and day for maximum response.
Every Pune newspaper rewards repeat bookings. Here's what's currently available:
If your ad needs repeated exposure - matrimonial, job vacancy, property listing - always opt for a multi-insertion package. The cost per response drops dramatically in Pune's active classified ad market.
Maharashtra authorities require your Name Change ad in one English and one Marathi newspaper. We offer 4 pre-bundled two-newspaper packages - bookable in a single transaction:
All packages include next-day booking confirmation. Call us to pick the right combination for your requirement.
In Pune's classified sections, readers scan fast. Lead with the most important detail - "2 BHK Kothrud Near Metro" outperforms "Spacious 2 Bedroom Flat Available for Sale." For Marathi ads in Sakal, Maharashtra Times, or Lokmat, our Pune team can help draft and optimise your ad copy in Marathi at no extra charge. Well-written Marathi classified copy consistently generates 20-30% more responses than a poorly worded ad - it's one of the most valuable free services we offer Pune advertisers.
We booked a matrimonial ad in Sakal for our son. The Ads2Publish team guided us to the Sunday edition and helped draft the Marathi copy. We received over 35 responses in two weeks - far more than we expected. The Marathi ad writing service was a huge help.
I needed a Name Change ad urgently for my passport renewal. Ads2Publish booked Times of India + Maharashtra Times together the same afternoon. The ad appeared next morning exactly as I had written it. Price was very fair compared to what the newspaper was quoting directly.
Our IT company has been placing recruitment ads through Ads2Publish in Times of India Ascent for 2 years now. Their advice on which Wednesday edition works best for Hinjewadi-based IT roles saved us time and money. Consistent, professional service.
Booked a property ad in Sakal for my flat in Baner. Ads2Publish recommended the Saturday property supplement and within 4 days I had 6 serious enquiries. Their knowledge of Pune's property market and which newspaper works best for which area is excellent.
We used Ads2Publish for a display ad launch of our new showroom in Hadapsar. They helped us choose Sakal + Times of India as a combination and even assisted with ad artwork. The footfall on launch day was noticeably higher than previous campaigns. Highly recommend.
I wanted to place a Pudhari matrimonial ad for my daughter - our family is from Kolhapur but settled in Pune. Ads2Publish knew exactly which Pudhari edition to use to reach our community. The whole booking took less than 10 minutes online. Very impressed.

Pune is India's seventh-largest city and Maharashtra's second-largest metropolis after Mumbai, with a population of over 70 lakh in the city and close to 90 lakh in the broader Pune Metropolitan Region. Once the seat of the Maratha Empire and the cultural heartland of Maharashtra, Pune today is one of India's fastest-growing cities - a major hub for IT, automotive, manufacturing, education, and defence.
Despite Pune's status as a modern tech city, newspaper advertising continues to deliver measurably strong results. Sakal - Pune's dominant Marathi daily - reaches more households in Pune district than any other paper, and a classified or matrimonial notice in Sakal carries community trust that digital platforms have not yet replicated. The IT professional in Wakad still checks Times of India for the Saturday property supplement when looking to buy a flat near the office. Maharashtra Times is indispensable for reaching Marathi-speaking professionals across the city's many business parks and trading hubs. Name Change ads remain a legal print requirement at Pune's Passport Seva Kendra. And Pudhari remains the paper of choice for Pune's very large Konkan and Kolhapur-origin community.
Pune's newspaper landscape - 12+ papers across Marathi, English, and Hindi serving everything from the traditional Peth localities to the gleaming IT campuses of Hinjewadi - rewards those who know which paper reaches which reader. Our Pune team's 21 years of on-the-ground experience makes that selection simple.
