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.

Alakh Ranjan

I’ve spent 1,000+ hours in political war rooms. Most people think campaigns are won on stage. 

They aren't.

They are won in Excel sheets at 3:00 AM.

I’ve seen candidates with "massive ground support" lose by a landslide. And I've seen "unknowns" flip a seat in 14 days.

The difference isn't the budget. 

It’s the Architecture of Power.

If you are trying to win an election (or a market) in 2026, you only need three things:

1. The Micro-Narrative Stop trying to talk to "the youth." That’s a demographic, not a person. Talk to the 22-year-old unemployed engineer in a specific pin code who is worried about his next EMI. Specific beats generic every single time.

2. The Frictionless Ground-Connect Data is only useful if it’s fresh. If your ground volunteers need more than 2 clicks to report a voter’s mood, your data is already dead. Speed is the only competitive advantage left.

3. The Counter-Strike Loop In politics, a lie travels halfway around the district before you've even had your morning tea. Your war room doesn't need a 5-hour strategy meeting. It needs a 15-minute execution loop.

We are moving away from the era of "Charisma" and into the era of "Systems." The politician who ignores the data architecture isn't just old-school—they are irrelevant.

It’s uncomfortable. It’s clinical. But it’s the truth of how power is built today.

Do you think "Data Architecture" is killing the soul of politics, or is it just making it more professional?

I’d love to hear the dissenting view in the comments.

ERROR 404: The Opposition was not found. 



🔍 For weeks, the political dashboard in Bihar showed a glitch. 

One name was missing from the headlines. One voice was absent from the noise. “Where is Prashant Kishor?” 

While others were busy debugging the situation from air-conditioned rooms in Delhi, PK was busy in the one place where "signal" actually matters: The Ground. 

He didn't reappear with a software update or a viral thread. He reappeared in a small house in Jehanabad, sitting on a plastic chair, listening to a mother whose world had crashed. 

The Narrative Shift: In the "business" of Bihar politics, the traditional model is broken.

 It relies on: 
❌ Press conference "patches" 
❌ Twitter "beta-testing" 
❌ Selective silence 

But what we saw yesterday was a full-scale system reboot. By showing up before the cameras arrived, by engaging with victims instead of statistics, PK isn't just playing the game—he’s rewriting the source code. 

He is moving from a political "start-up" to the Principal Opposition. In politics, as in tech, clarity beats hype every time. 

The Beta Test is over. 

The real game has begun. 

👇 Honest question: Is Bihar seeing a genuine "System Update" in its opposition, or is this just another temporary bug in the status quo? 

Agree or Disagree? 

Let’s talk strategy. 

#PoliticalStrategy #BiharPolitics #JanSuraaj

Most people who want to work in elections think political consulting is about speeches, social media, or ideology.

It’s not.

On the ground, it’s about booth arithmetic, caste equations, volunteer discipline, message control, and endurance.

I’ve seen smart, passionate young people enter campaigns with the wrong expectations — and burn out within months.

If you’re serious about working in elections, you need clarity before commitment.

I run a free weekly session explaining what political consulting actually looks like — no motivation, no glamour.

If you still want to learn after hearing the reality, comment “Basics”.

No alternative text description for this image

I read 30+ political consulting resumes last week.


Most failed for the same reason.

They were written to look impressive —
not to get shortlisted.

Political consulting hiring doesn’t reward:
• Fancy words
• Long descriptions
• Generic “impact”

It rewards:
• Clarity
• Relevance
• Role-fit

This is the part nobody teaches — and why so many capable candidates get filtered out.

If you’ve applied and heard nothing back,
the problem is probably not your effort.

It’s your positioning.

👇
If this sounds familiar, comment “Resume”.

Most people trying to enter political consulting fail before they ever get an interview.


Not because they’re incapable.

But because no one tells them how this field actually works.

A month ago, my LinkedIn inbox kept filling with one question:
 ✅ “How do I become a political consultant?”

I assumed one session would be enough. Instead, something else became obvious.

There is a massive gap between what young aspirants think political consulting is and what the work actually demands.

Since 22 December 2025, we’ve completed 5 workshops.
🕹️ 350+ registrations
🕹️100+ students trained

Participants from across India asking serious, grounded questions

After the 5th session, a new pattern emerged in my DMs:
 • “Why does my resume never get shortlisted?”
 • “What do political consulting interviews actually test?”

This isn’t about motivation.

 It’s about structure, positioning, and clarity.
If you’re aiming to work in elections, your resume and interview prep can’t look like everyone else’s.

Honest question 👇

Do you think political consulting careers fail more because of lack of talent — or lack of guidance?

If this resonates, comment “Resume”.
 I’ll share what we’re building next.

Punjab is quietly rewriting India’s political playbook.

In 2022, AAP swept Punjab with 92/117 seats — many called it a one-time wave.
 The real test came after the election.

Since then, AAP has:
 • Won most Assembly by-polls
 • Dominated urban civic elections
 • Expanded control in panchayats and local bodies

This matters because by-elections and local elections are governance referendums, not wave elections.

Parties usually bleed support mid-term.
 AAP didn’t.
Punjab shows something rare in Indian politics:
 ➡️ A movement converting into a system
 ➡️ A mandate converting into institutional power

The lesson is simple:
 Big wins create headlines. Sustained wins create dominance.
Punjab is no longer an experiment. It’s a case study.

The most expensive mistake I made as a founder wasn’t a bad hire or a wrong strategy.

 It was desperation.

Desperation to make it big.
 Desperation to show profits.
 Desperation to prove that I was right.

And here’s the brutal truth I learned the hard way:
👉 The moment people sense desperation, they stop respecting you.

 In negotiations, they push harder.
 In partnerships, they take more.
 In decisions, you start compromising your own boundaries.

I didn’t learn this from books.

 I learned it after burning a lot of cash, carrying constant stress, and sitting with anxiety for two long years of entrepreneurship.

Desperation makes you reactive.
Clarity makes you strategic.

When you’re desperate, you agree too fast.
 When you’re grounded, you choose carefully.

Today, I’m still learning — slowly, imperfectly — but with one clear rule:
 I’d rather grow steadily with conviction than scale fast with fear.

If you’re building something right now, remember this:
 Patience isn’t weakness.
 Desperation is.

What’s one hard lesson entrepreneurship taught you that no course ever could?

Most resumes don’t get rejected.
They get ignored.


That’s what became painfully clear during a recent Resume Writing Masterclass I attended, where we delved deeply into what actually gets candidates shortlisted.

Huge thanks to Apoorv Tiwari for co-leading the session and breaking down things most people never get taught:

• How ATS systems really scan resumes
 • Why “good experience” still doesn’t convert to calls
 • How to apply strategically instead of randomly
 • FAQs interviewers actually care about
 • How guesstimates are evaluated (not just solved)
 • How to stay ahead inside the interview, not just prepare for it

What stood out most wasn’t the questions but how many capable people were stuck because no one ever explained the system.


Resume writing isn’t formatting.
 Interview prep isn’t memorisation.
 It’s positioning, clarity, and practice.


Now I’m genuinely curious 👇
Should I do more such hands-on workshops focused on resumes, interviews, and job strategy?

If yes, comment “YES”

 If you’re currently struggling with resumes or interviews, drop a “HELP” — I’ll reach out.

(Also, feel free to share this with someone who’s job hunting right now.)

Prashant Kishore is entering a hostile territory.


In Bihar, opposition politics is a losing game.

Governments are rewarded for delivery.
Oppositions are punished for persistence.

If an opposition questions too much — it’s called negative.
If it protests — disruptive.
If it stays silent — irrelevant.

So most opposition parties learn the safest strategy: Disappear between elections.

And then we complain about the absence of a strong opposition.

This is the political culture Prashant Kishor is stepping into.

Not a lack of leaders —
but a lack of incentives for consistent opposition.

Do Bihar voters actually reward opposition or only complain when it’s missing?

Agree or disagree.

I used to think winning an election was "wealth." I was wrong. 

Between the 2:00 AM strategy sessions and the 30 missed family dinners, my definition of success broke. 

In political consulting, we’re taught to chase: 
• More visibility. 
• Bigger campaigns. 
• Recognition from the "Power Players." 

But here is the "Consultant’s Trap" no one talks about: External wins often come at the cost of internal bankruptcy. 

After years in the trenches of pressure and uncertainty, I’ve realised real wealth isn't a bigger project.

 It’s: 
→ Time Autonomy: Controlling my calendar in the off-season. 
→ Selective Intensity: Choosing chaos by design, not by default. 
→ The Power of "No": Turning down a candidate because the alignment isn't there. 

I still love the adrenaline. I still choose the pressure. But I’ve stopped borrowing my definition of "value" from a campaign cycle. 

You can be "winning" on the news and still be losing at home. I’m finally learning to redefine the game on my own terms. 

Is your current career path giving you more "Visibility" or more "Freedom"? 

Be honest—I’m curious to see the split in the comments.

Founder life looks glamorous online. This is what it actually feels like.

I was working from a roadside chai tapri the other day. Listening to roadside noises , battling bad network and balancing the laptop.

I wasn’t there by choice. The work had to be finished. If that project closed, one of my team members could earn a little extra this month. He’s saving that money for his sister’s wedding.

That thought kept looping in my head. As a founder, your stress isn’t private.
Your delays hit real people.

Some days you’re not chasing vision or growth. You’re just trying not to let someone down.

Most people who want to work in elections enter the field with the wrong picture in their head.

They think political consulting is about:
– Speeches
– Ideology debates

It’s not.

On the ground, it’s about:
• Booth arithmetic
• Caste equations that change every few kilometres
• Volunteer discipline under pressure
• Message control
• Physical and mental endurance

I’ve seen capable, passionate young people who want to know more about this filed. 

If you’re serious about working in elections, clarity has to come before commitment.

That’s why I run a free weekly session, every Saturday, explaining what political consulting actually looks like - no motivation, no glamour, just ground truth.

If you’re curious to learn the reality, comment “Basics”.

And if you know someone who wants to work in elections, share this with them.

Hardwork is overrated in broken systems. I learned this the hard way.


During a Bihar project, I travelled across more than 120 villages, met countless people, slept with mosquitoes as constant companions, survived on endless cups of chai, and spent more nights awake than resting.

The outcome was simple.
The balance sheet still bled.

That’s when it hit me that in systems that don’t reward effort fairly, working harder often just leads to faster burnout. Careers, politics, and institutions don’t run on effort alone. They run on incentives, evaluation, and timing.

Still, I don’t believe in quitting. You only need one opportunity to turn things around.

Have you ever felt this?

Political strategy is no longer a "backroom" job. It’s the frontline.

What’s happening in West Bengal right now—with ED raids targeting consultancy digital data—is a massive signal to the entire industry.

The "romantic" era of Indian elections (instinct and ground-connect) is dead.

We are now in the era of: 
→ Data Sovereignty: Who owns the voter's psychological profile? 
→ Narrative Warfare: Can a war room out-pivot a candidate's charisma? 
→ Digital Intelligence: When does strategy become "Shadow Governance"?

For years, consultants were "support staff." Today, we are power centres. And that is exactly why institutions are panicking.

When you control the data, you don't just predict the vote—you expose the vulnerabilities of the entire system.

The Uncomfortable Truth: Elections are no longer just about who has the better vision. They are about who has the better Information Architecture.

We aren't just strategising anymore; we are building the infrastructure of power. The systems aren't ready for this shift—and that’s where the real conflict lies.

Is it time to regulate the "Access to Data" that strategy firms hold?

Or is this just the inevitable professionalisation of a 10,000-crore industry?

I’ve seen smart people lose jobs they deserved —
 not because they were bad,
 But because their resume never reached a human

Most job applications fail before a human ever sees them.

Why?
Because resumes aren’t ATS-friendly, job searches are random, and interviews are approached without strategy.

This masterclass is designed to fix all three — practically, not theoretically.

🔍 What you’ll walk away with:

✅ A properly structured, ATS-friendly resume
✅ A clear method to find jobs beyond LinkedIn & portals
✅ Cold email & follow-up templates that actually get replies
✅ How to answer common interview questions with confidence
✅ A repeatable job-search system, not guesswork

👥 1-on-1 Resume Review (Included)

Every registered participant gets a personal one-on-one session where:
	•	Your resume is reviewed line by line
	•	Gaps are identified
	•	Role alignment and positioning are discussed

👉 Register, then drop the link to your feedback post in the comments.

📅 Workshop Date: Sunday, 18 January
⏰ Time: 2:30 – 4:30 PM
🎟️ Seats: Only 20
💰 Fee: ₹99

⏳ Registration closes at 11:59 AM on Saturday, 17 January 2025.

The "Gatekeeping" in Indian politics ends today.

I’m honestly overwhelmed. We just sold out today’s workshop on “How to Design a Political Campaign.”

But while going through the DMs of those who couldn't make it, I realised a hard truth: Aspiring consultants don't just need "Advanced Strategy."

They need a map.

Most young professionals are stuck behind a wall of jargon and social media noise. They want to enter the room, but they don't even know where the door is.

So, I’ve decided to open it.

📢 Starting next week, I am hosting a FREE workshop on the Basics of Political Consultancy — every single Saturday.

No fees. No jargon. No gatekeeping. 

Just 90 minutes of clarity on:
→ The 4 Real Domains: What actually happens behind the scenes. 
→ The Skill Gap: What gets you hired (and what’s just fluff). 
→ Ground vs. Digital: How campaigns function in the real world. 
→ Career Pathways: How to realistically start from zero.

I’m excited to build with the next generation of strategists. To everyone joining today at 2:30 PM—see you in the war room.

To everyone else—let’s start your journey next Saturday.

If you want to be the first to get the registration link for the Saturday series, comment "CLARITY" below. 

(I’ll personally DM the details to everyone who comments, so you don't miss the first session.)

AI is killing the soul of LinkedIn 

I did an audit of LinkedIn posts as my posts were not getting impressions. Theaudit results I got made me upset. 

It says that if I want consistent growth I have to pick a niche, post only about that, only comment on creators of that niche and it was all niche, niche, niche.

I miss the old LinkedIn where I could express my mind, when no AI were used. Everything was raw and pure. A place where people expressed and others loved and interacted.


Earlier LinkedIn was like my village:
simple, slow, anarchic. Now it is like a metro city-chaotic, planned, robotic, an fake.

Do you also feel that AI is killing the real Linked

I’ve hit most definitions of “success.”
And yet—I feel strangely incomplete.

People describe it clearly:
 Good profits.
 Winning results.
 Bonuses for teams.
 A big office.

On paper, I’ve had many of those.

No one warns you that achievement can feel emotionally flat.

In Bihar, we expanded operations.
 Built large teams.
 Won seats for every client we worked with.
 For a long stretch, we were profitable.
 Even when the balance sheet later bled, we still paid bonuses.

And yet—I don’t feel “successful.”

I enjoy the chaos.
 I like the pressure.
 I’m deeply invested in the work.
 But that moment everyone talks about—the arrival—hasn’t happened yet.

That’s when I realised something uncomfortable:

Results don’t automatically translate into fulfilment.

You can be winning externally and still searching internally.

Maybe success isn’t a milestone.
 Maybe it’s a feeling that arrives quietly, much later than the applause.

I’m hopeful I’ll feel it one day.
 And when I do—I’ll share it honestly.

Until then, I’ll keep building.

Be honest—are you chasing success, or still trying to understand what it actually means?
