TCR Newsroom
Media library
Photographs of the laboratories, the buildings and the senior bench, at print resolution, for editorial use.
Back to the newsroom
Overview
High-resolution photographs of TCR's laboratories, buildings, benches and senior management, free for editorial use with the credit line printed under each image. Every file is TCR's own property, hosted on this domain, and downloadable here at print resolution.
Terms of use
These photographs are TCR's own property and are published here for editorial use: news reporting, trade and technical press, analyst notes, and conference or teaching material about TCR or the industries it works in.
Carry the credit line printed under the image. Crop and resize as the layout needs, but do not composite, retouch, colourise or otherwise alter the picture, and do not use it in advertising, in an endorsement, or to illustrate a story about another company.
Where a photograph shows a named person, that name is in the caption. Do not attach a name to a face this page has not named.
Each section below ends with a single archive of that section, carrying a CREDITS.txt with every caption and credit line in it. There is no archive of the whole library: the sections are what a picture desk actually asks for, and one file of everything would be too large to serve.
Leadership and senior management (9.9 MB)
Laboratories and equipment (20.5 MB)
Press contact: Atul Yadav, HR Manager, Public Relations and Government Liaison. pr@tcreng.com and atul@tcreng.com, +91 93246 27432. For an image that is not here, for a specific laboratory or instrument, or for any use outside the terms above, write and it will be shot or released.
The ten TCR group marks are published separately, as vector and transparent PNG, in the logo kit for media.
Leadership and senior management
Portraits of the people a reporter is most often asking for, at the resolution a printed page needs. Each is the original studio photograph, not the cut-out the leadership pages carry. Name and role line are given exactly as they should appear in a caption.
