The Indian Political scenario has changed much over the past few years. Some of these changes were good, some of them not so much nonetheless politics isn’t what it used to be in the past. Women began to vote more, the south and west evolved ahead of the north and east, and faith in media declined. Technology has led to changes not only in the political setting but also in the electoral process.
Over the years, modern election techniques that use data-driven technologies have made traditional processes redundant and ineffective. No longer can candidates & parties rely only upon an advertisement in print media, hoardings, or TV interviews to popularize their ideas as well as sell their narrative to the general public. The general elections of 2014 showed more than anything else the power of social media to bend the public narrative and democratic elections if nothing else are popularity contests.
Elections are not won by ideals alone the results are also dependent on how these ideals are carried across to the general public. Even winning doesn’t guarantee that a party is going to stay in power much less get re-elected.
This is the part where political consultants come in. The goal of using innovative and cutting-edge tools to gather valuable and accurate information. However, the task is not limited to gathering information only, it also includes analyzing and then using the conclusions to turn the tables in favor of our clients. The goal is to give clients “an unfair advantage” over their competitors.
