How to reach CRGD's researchers for comment, data or interviews, and how to use our name, logo and photographs.
CRGD’s researchers are available to journalists for background briefings, on the record comment and interviews in English and Malayalam, on subjects within their expertise.
Contact the media team
Email media@crgd.in with your name, publication, deadline and the subject you are working on. We aim to respond the same working day, and sooner for urgent deadlines.
For broadcast interviews, please give as much notice as you can and tell us whether the interview is live or recorded.
