How we work on it

Inside Public Affairs & Policy.

Engaging the people who write the rules you operate under, transparently and on the record. In India this means central ministries, state governments, regulators and industry bodies, each with its own rhythm and its own view of what counts as a credible submission.

Frequently asked

Questions about public affairs & policy.

Is this lobbying?

It is transparent policy engagement: consultation responses, position papers, evidence submission and association work, all on the record.

Do you have government relationships?

We have process expertise and coalition experience. Any firm claiming guaranteed access to specific officials should be treated with suspicion.

What will you not do?

Anything undisclosed, anything presented as independent that is not, and any engagement that cannot be described accurately in public.
