Malayala Manorama is one of India's largest newspapers by readership. The Indian Readership Survey for Q3 2019 put it at 1.78 crore readers (17.8 million), and the same survey placed it as the only Malayalam daily among India's top 10 newspapers.
Two of every three newspaper readers in Kerala choose Manorama, and at least 80% of Malayali readers read at least one publication from the group (IRS Q3 2019, as reported by Onmanorama). That makes it the broadest single route to Kerala's households.

A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use Malayala Manorama as the anchor print title for Kerala. Display in the main news and business pages suits financial, property and premium brands, while special days and festive periods suit consumer and lifestyle launches.
Add manoramaonline.com to extend the message to readers online, including Malayalis based outside Kerala. Sister publications such as Vanitha add routes into specific households and interests.
Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here
Malayala Manorama is the default Malayalam daily for households across Kerala, and it reaches the families that invest, buy property and send money home from abroad. For wealth, banking, real estate, education and premium consumer brands, it offers scale and trust in a market that responds to its own language.
How we would use it. Use full-page and half-page display in the main news pages for brand launches and property or financial offers, with the sister publications and manoramaonline.com extending reach. Plan Malayalam creative for Kerala and add English versions where the message targets professionals and overseas Malayalis.
Our guidance. Kerala is a language-led market, so we decide the Malayalam and English creative balance and the right edition mix as part of the plan.
How We Would Run Your Malayala Manorama Campaign
We start with the audience you need to reach, whether that is investors, business owners or high-net-worth families, and work back to the title, section and edition that put you in front of them. The schedule follows from that.
The rest is ours to handle: creative adapted for Malayalam creative; English available, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
