## **Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in India**

### **Why The Ken Matters in India**

The Ken launched in India in October 2016 and publishes one in-depth story each weekday online, backed by newsletters and a podcast. It reported more than 30,000 subscribers in 2021 (Reuters Institute, Sept 2021), with coverage spanning tech, startups, healthcare, telecom and policy and, since 2020, Southeast Asia.

### **What the Published Data Says About the Audience**

- **Subscribers.** More than 30,000 as of 2021 (Reuters Institute, Sept 2021).
- **Corporate readers.** About 150 organisations held corporate subscriptions (Reuters Institute, Sept 2021).
- **Reader mix.** Early readers came from startups and technology, widening later to students and other professionals (Reuters Institute, Sept 2021).
- **Content cadence.** One story each weekday, plus newsletters and a podcast.

### **A Media Planner's View: Where to Place**

Use The Ken to reach India's technology, startup and corporate decision makers who value analysis. It suits enterprise software, financial services, premium business services and investor-facing brands.

We would combine it with Indian airport media and business events to cover the same executives on the move, planned from one brief.

### **Masscom Expert Recommendation: Why Advertise Here**

The Ken suits advertisers who want depth rather than volume. Its readers are business people who choose to pay for long-form analysis, so premium, financial, enterprise and technology brands find an attentive audience.

**How we would use it.** We would build partnerships around the newsletter and podcast formats and the website, aligned to sector coverage that matches your category. English creative is used as it stands.

**Our guidance.** We design the brand association with The Ken's editorial style in mind, so your message fits its tone of analysis and depth.

### **How We Would Run Your The Ken 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 to the publication's formats, the insertion booked and proofed, and reporting once the advertisement has run.
