At GreyMatters, development communication has been a central pillar of our work. For over 14 years, we have crafted impactful campaigns across diverse partnerships, driving smart narratives and strategies to amplify our messages effectively. Our collaboration with National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP), India’s foremost disability rights organization, has been a meaningful part of this journey for the past three years. Together, we’ve worked to highlight key #disability issues in the public sphere, recognizing the need for nuanced communication and broad media visibility to engage audiences across the country. Recently, when Arman Ali, Executive Director of NCPEDP, traveled to #Thiruvananthapuram, we seized the opportunity to amplify the message of ensuring rightful representation for persons with disabilities in mainstream #politics. We are pleased to see Ali's major interview featuring in The New Indian Express, Kerala’s leading English daily.

Despite not clearing the civil services exam and growing up in the small town of Hajipur, Dr Navneet Anand’s determination to forge his own path never wavered. While conventional career options like becoming a PO, teacher, or joining an NGO were common at the time, he chose a different journey. After stints in journalism and the corporate world, the 2009 recession left him at a crossroads. Instead of succumbing to the setback of losing his job, he saw it as an opportunity to pursue his dream of working on a “broader canvas of communications.” This passion led to the birth of GreyMatters. Though Dr Anand initially feared for its survival, 14 years later, he looks back with immense gratitude for the support he received from family, colleagues, and the faith that carried him through. Ritika U. of Exchange4media shares the inspiring life journey of this JNU-trained professional, who remains deeply rooted in academics with a vision to shape the next generation of communication experts. https://lnkd.in/g4Wqbnqn #publicrelations #communications #inspiration Anurag Batra | Karan Bhatia Naina Jha | Pragya Lal Ranjan | Divyansh U. | Vigya Dwivedi | Madhu Gautam
