What Is Gujarat Samachar?
Gujarat Samachar holds a distinction shared by very few regional-language newspapers in the world: it is the most widely read Gujarati-language newspaper on earth. Founded in 1932 in Ahmedabad by Lok Prakashan Ltd., it has been the daily companion of Gujarati families for over nine decades — through independence, partition, the 1960 formation of Gujarat state, the 2001 earthquake, and the rapid economic ascent that made Gujarat one of India's fastest-growing states. This longevity has created reader loyalty that is exceptional even by Indian newspaper standards.
What makes Gujarat Samachar unique among Indian regional papers is its global reach into the Gujarati diaspora. Gujaratis are one of the world's most geographically dispersed trading communities — with major concentrations in the UK (Leicester, Harrow, Wembley, Birmingham), USA, East Africa and Australia. Gujarat Samachar publishes a dedicated UK print edition — one of the very few Indian regional newspapers to maintain a physical print presence abroad. For advertisers seeking NRI Gujarati readers — matrimonial alliances, property investments in Gujarat, business announcements — Gujarat Samachar is the only Gujarati-language vehicle with this cross-border reach.
Domestically, Gujarat Samachar's five-city print network covers India's most entrepreneurially active state. Ahmedabad (India's fastest-growing large city), Surat (the world's diamond polishing capital), Vadodara (engineering and petrochemicals), Rajkot (auto-components and SME manufacturing) and Mumbai (Gujarat's massive diaspora) together form one of India's most economically productive print advertising markets.
Malik Advertising books all Gujarat Samachar formats — classified text, display and full-page — across all editions with Gujarati-script composition and same-day submission.
