    OUR EXPERTISE

    Issues & Crisis Communications

    A wise man once said “With great power comes great responsibility.” With a vast presence, companies are often vulnerable to precarious crises of all kinds. India, especially, is a minefield for corporate reputation with an irrevocably complex and transitioning socio-political dynamic. A thorough analysis of key newspapers and digital platforms for even a calendar quarter will reveal the scale, frequency and intensity with which businesses are continually confronted with challenging crises that affect revenues, valuations, and trust of stakeholders.

    An ever-expanding digital world with round-the-clock news cycles translates into the need for quick and effective responses to drive public opinions. Most crises originate in the social/digital media or in regional language media. Left unattended, these escalate to inflict heavy business and reputation risks.
