What Is Divya Bhaskar?
Divya Bhaskar is one of India's most remarkable newspaper launch stories. When DB Corp Ltd. — publishers of Dainik Bhaskar, India's largest Hindi daily by many measures — entered Gujarat in 2003, it took on two entrenched Gujarati newspapers with decades of heritage. Within five years, Divya Bhaskar had surpassed both to claim the highest readership among Gujarati-language newspapers, through deep investment in colour production, sharper local coverage and aggressive distribution into smaller towns.
For advertisers the implications are significant. Divya Bhaskar's modern, younger-demographic readership responds strongly to aspirational advertising — property launches, automobiles, consumer goods and education. Its expansion into smaller Gujarat cities — with dedicated editions for Bhuj (Kutch), Junagadh, Gandhidham and Anand — means it reaches Gujarati readers in towns where other papers have lighter presence. For a brand that wants to truly blanket Gujarat, Divya Bhaskar's wider small-city network is a distinct advantage.
Malik Advertising books every ad format in Divya Bhaskar — classified text, classified display, and full display — across any single edition or a combined multi-city release, at rates discounted below the publisher's standard tariff.
💡 Key Fact: Divya Bhaskar is part of the DB Corp family. For Gujarat's large Hindi-speaking community (especially Surat and Ahmedabad), we pair it with Dainik Bhaskar in one combined order; the group's Marathi daily Divya Marathi extends the same package into Maharashtra.
