About

Built Panchneeti as a political consulting and brand‑building firm with a 100% winning track record—every candidate we partnered with in Delhi and Bihar has won their election. As a campaign strategist and policy consultant, I work end‑to‑end: from booth‑level data and narrative design to on‑ground mobilisation and long‑term brand positioning. At Panchneeti, our work with Ashish Sood is a key example—after a loss in 2020, we helped engineer a comeback in 2025 with his highest‑ever victory margin of 19,000+ votes in Janakpuri, and he now serves as a cabinet minister in the Delhi government. In Bihar, we partnered with four candidates—Dr. Sanjeev Chaurasia (Digha), Dr. Kumar Puspanjay (Barbigha), Vijay Kumar Chaudhary (Sarairanjan) and Ramanand Yadav (Fatuha)—and all four won their assembly elections, reinforcing Panchneeti’s 100% win record across diverse constituencies. Our approach combines constituency‑specific insights, message discipline and consistent brand building for leaders over multiple cycles, not just one election. Beyond campaigns, I bring 5+ years of public policy and research experience across organisations such as FICCI, Nation with NaMo, CLAWS, AIDIA and Asian Confluence. I’ve authored a book chapter on “India’s Soft Power in Consolidating the QUAD” and produced 70+ published articles, policy briefs and strategic papers on foreign policy, regional diplomacy, governance and economic issues, giving my political work a strong policy and geopolitical backbone. If you are a political leader, party unit or advocacy organisation looking to: Build a long‑term personal brand and constituency narrative, Run a data‑driven campaign with clear messaging and a ground strategy, or Anchor your politics in serious public policy and research, …let’s talk. Send a message with “CAMPAIGN + POLICY” and a line about your constituency or project, and I’ll share a few concrete ideas on how Panchneeti can help you win—and govern—with clarity.
