Content & Research Services

Content & Research Services comprises a range of practices used in an organisation to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable adoption of insights and experiences. Such insights and experiences comprise knowledge, either embodied in individuals or embedded in organisational processes or practice.

Gray Matters Content & Research Services efforts typically focus on organisational objectives such as improved performance, competitive advantage, innovation, the sharing of lessons learned, and continuous improvement of the organisation.

Gray Matters Content & Research Services efforts overlap with Organisational Learning, and may be distinguished from that by a greater focus on the management of knowledge as a strategic asset and a focus on encouraging the sharing of knowledge. We help organizations manage their knowledge resources through cost effective solutions. Our focus is mainly to avoid redundant work, to reduce training time for new employees, to retain intellectual capital in an organisation, and to adapt to changing environments and markets.

Over the years Gray Matters consultants have created content for various clients across multiple media platforms. From creating a 16-page bimonthly magazine for school-going teenagers to heading the content team for the Bengali version of the TV show Who Wants to be a Millionaire we have showcased our work backed up by innovative research techniques.

In the immediate past, our consultants have led the team from scratch to create the much acclaimed Penguin Yearbook, Penguin CNBC TV18 Business Yearbook, Penguin Business Travellers Guide to the World, Penguin Guide to States of India, Penguin India Fact File and many more.

Our expertise lies in developing content for reference books, newspapers, magazines, graphic novels, live quizzes, TV game shows and quizzes, ground events, school contact programmes, websites and mobile phones. We also take pride in delivering customised, designed content in multiple languages. We work with several experts from diverse fields to develop well researched content.

Branding & Communication

Idea Idea Idea... we design, manage and deliver knowledge events for corporations and educational institutions.


Your brand is your company’s power base. Let us handle your brand impression in the marketplace and inside the organization. Organizations today understand the importance of building strong brands. Strong brands deliver higher profits, create loyal and price inelastic customers, and build long-term value in the business.

What every manager in an organization should also realize is that each brand owned by the organization also has a unique opportunity to foster the corporate mission and tap the guiding vision of the organization. Brands that do not connect to or support the mission of the organization squander an opportunity to add value to the organization in a strategically significant way and loose the potential for employee engagement.

When employees personally identify with core brand values, they have a much easier time delivering on brand promises. Research suggests, employees who personally understand and identify with brand values have lower stress, get more satisfaction from their work, and even tend to earn more money over time. Encourage employees to live the brand. Encourage employees at all levels to contribute to and deliver the brand promise. These employees will soon become brand ambassadors and conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with brand and corporate values.

Gray Content & Research services helps organizations and educational institutions in exploring new and creative ideas for their Branding and Communication needs. We help in idea generation for in-house employee engagement events or external marketing and branding events.

Gray Matters Content & Research team would help you in creating interesting and extremely innovative ideas for conferences, tradeshows, meetings and other interesting ideas specifically for your organization.
