Conditional free route other
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free plan publishes 'only selected posts' — no guaranteed publication
- Free tier is a brand mention only: no do-follow link and no standard publishing time (runs on the editorial schedule)
- Guaranteed feature with a do-follow link and 3-5 day publishing requires the Growth plan at INR 1,999 (list INR 3,999); Elite is INR 4,499 (list INR 9,999)
Requirements
- Startup/business suitable for an entrepreneur-focused video magazine and startup-features site
- Free submissions go through https://taalk.com/free-submmission/ (sic — misspelled slug on their own link)
Prepare before opening the form
- Startup name, URL, description, founder details, logo/images
- Decide between free (brand mention, maybe) vs paid Growth (guaranteed feature + dofollow) vs Elite (SEO optimization + video podcast + newsletter highlight)
- Payment via Razorpay pages for paid plans
Workflow
- Open https://taalk.com/submit-startup/
- Pick a plan: 'Submit now' → /free-submmission/ for the free lane, or 'Pay & Submit' → Razorpay payment pages for Growth/Elite
- Fill the submission form and (for paid) complete Razorpay checkout
- Editorial team reviews; paid Growth publishes within 3-5 days, free runs on the editorial schedule if selected
Watch for
- The free tier will not give you a link at all — brand mention only, and only if your post is selected
- Pricing is in INR via Razorpay — expect Indian-payment checkout flows
- The free-submission URL slug is literally misspelled 'free-submmission' on their site
- Elite bundles a video podcast — clarify deliverables before paying INR 4,499
What counts as live
