From journalism to corporate life, academia to entrepreneurship, Dr Navneet Anand’s journey has been anything but conventional.
A PhD in Sociology of Media from JNU, 25+ years across media, academia & corporate life, and no conventional entrepreneurial background, yet he founded GreyMatters in 2010 and has sustained the journey for 16 years.
The chapter on Dr Anand in Anchor, launched recently, is a fitting tribute to his talent, perseverance, determination and relentless pursuit of excellence.
Grateful to Amith Prabhu & Sarika Chavan for chronicling the journey.

Cooperatives & Fertiliser Security: Strengthening India’s Agricultural Resilience from Production to the Farmer
Today, October 16, 2026, GreyMatters Communications, in partnership with FIJEEHA and IndiAgri and supported by KRIBHCO, organised a Knowledge & Policy Engagement Webinar on “Cooperatives & Fertiliser Security: Strengthening India’s Agricultural Resilience from Production to the Farmer.”
The discussion focused on how cooperatives, the right farm technology and strong farmer institutions can together ensure timely fertiliser availability, balanced nutrient management and the efficient use of fertilisers.
Dr. Tejinder Singh, General Manager (Marketing), KRIBHCO, highlighted the role of cooperatives in ensuring fertilisers reach farmers at the right time, supported by extension education and skilling. He also spoke about KRIBHCO’s farmer services, including soil testing and field demonstrations.
Dr. Manish Kumar, Senior Scientist, ICAR-Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bhopal, said farmers need the right agricultural equipment for balanced fertilisation and better nutrient use efficiency. He pointed to proper seed and fertiliser application, and to calibrating equipment so that over-application and wastage are avoided.
Puneet Kashyap, CEO, Khushaal Honey & Dairy Producers Association (FPO), Punjab, noted that cooperatives have done a great deal to reach and educate farmers. Challenges remain, such as digitalisation of PACS and logistics during the peak fertiliser supply season. He added that farmers are gradually adopting soil testing, balanced fertiliser application and bio-inputs, and are seeing the benefits. Patience is key, however, as bio-inputs and sustainable practices take time to show results.
The session was moderated by Ashish Paliwal, Advisor, IndiAgri.
The webinar highlighted how timely availability, farmer awareness, appropriate technology and empowered farmer institutions can strengthen India’s fertiliser security and build a more resilient agricultural ecosystem, from production to the farmer.

🔴🟢🔵PR is never quite the same day twice. One day, you could be in a cotton field, the next at a motor racing track, and the day after, at a Chief Minister’s press meet. That’s the fun of it!
We chanced upon this old video of our Director, Dr Navneet Anand, visiting a cotton field in Chanaka village, Yavatmal, Maharashtra, as part of our work with Syngenta. It brought back a simple reminder of what makes PR exciting: new places, diverse sectors, people on the ground and fresh perspectives every day.
At GreyMatters, variety is the essence of what we do, and every assignment is an opportunity to learn something new.
A little glimpse from the archives. Do watch! 👇

India’s fertiliser security is not just about supply, but also how efficiently we use it.
In an exclusive webinar, organised by GreyMatters Communications and Fijeeha, Shri Gajendra Kumar, Joint General Manager (Marketing), KRIBHCO, shared that during the Kharif season, fertiliser supply reached 500 lakh tonnes against a demand of 383 lakh tonnes.
He emphasised that better nutrient management, healthier soils and diversified imports are all essential for long-term fertiliser security.

A field study conducted by the South Asia Biotechnology Centre, supported by the Federation of Seed Industry of India & the National Seed Association of India, estimates that unauthorised HTBt cotton was cultivated across 65–72 lakh acres during the 2025–26 kharif season. The findings also signaled an estimated Rs 1,500 crore informal seed market.
The scale of unauthorised cultivation points to farmers’ demand for technology & innovation. A science-based regulatory pathway for HTBt cotton could enable genuine seed companies to provide farmers with verified seeds, curb counterfeiting and bring economic activity currently in the informal market into the formal economy.
Such media stories helps bring evidence & ground realities into public discourse, encouraging informed debate on agricultural technology & science-based policymaking.
