YourStory

Route unverified directory

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

  • Startup/company profile for YourStory's companies directory — India-focused startup media
  • Submission goes through a Google Form — a Google account may be required to fill it
  • Third-party sources list required assets: product name, live URL, ~60-char tagline, ~250-char description, square logo >=512px, 2–3 screenshots, pricing model
  • Editorial selection applies — this is a media property, not a guaranteed listing

Prepare before opening the form

  • Google account for the form
  • Company/product name, live website URL
  • Tagline (~60 chars), description (~250 chars), square logo >=512px, 2–3 screenshots, pricing model
  • Founder details and India-relevance angle if applicable

Workflow

  1. Open the catalogued Google Form URL in a signed-in browser
  2. Complete all fields (reported as all-required; the form rarely saves drafts — have everything ready)
  3. Submit and wait for editorial review — no stated SLA
  4. If accepted, a company profile appears under yourstory.com/companies

Watch for

  • The form is Google-Forms-hosted — needs a browser and possibly a Google login; it 401s to automated fetches
  • Sources conflict on cost (one says free, another says paid listing) — treat pricing as unverified
  • Link type conflicts across sources (dofollow vs nofollow) — don't count on the SEO value
  • Editorial gate: YourStory is a media outlet, so boring/non-Indian-market submissions may simply go unanswered
  • Don't confuse this with Tech30/brand-partnership programs, which are separate application paths

What counts as live

Company profile page exists under yourstory.com/companies/<slug> with description and link

Not verified

  • Whether submission is currently free or paid — sources conflict
  • Whether the profile link is dofollow or nofollow — sources conflict
  • Review timeline and acceptance criteria
  • Whether non-Indian startups are accepted
