Collaborate with Narendra
Not a hire. Not a vendor. A peer. Co-design research, co-lead campaigns, share networks, and run multi-state work together.
Models
Ways to collaborate
Every collaboration is structured around shared discipline, shared judgement, and shared accountability. Here is how partnerships take shape.
Joint Research
Co-designed surveys, shared field teams, and combined analysis - bigger reads than either side could produce alone.
Co-led Campaigns
Two strategists in the room when the cycle warrants it. Clear roles, no ego games, and a single brief the leader can act on.
Influencer-network Access
Curated access to political influencers, regional creators, and credible voices for narrative work that needs reach with discipline.
Cross-state Partnerships
Multi-state cycles where local knowledge and national strategy must meet. Each partner owns their terrain, the brief stays unified.
Content & Research Publishing
Co-authored white papers, post-cycle reports, and civic-literacy content that meets a craft standard, not a content quota.
Strategic Alliances
Long-horizon partnerships with newsrooms, research firms, civic organizations, and academic groups. Quietly, on agreed terms.
Who Collaborates
For partners who want
peer-level engagement
Collaboration is not a transaction. It is two professionals bringing their best to the table and producing work that holds up under scrutiny. Narendra does not just execute someone else's brief - he shapes it alongside the partner.
The best partnerships happen when both sides have judgement at stake. When the read has to be defended publicly and the strategy has to survive the cycle, the quality of the work reflects that joint accountability.
Whether it is a single-cycle research collaboration or a multi-year alliance, the approach is the same: honest communication, clear ownership of the work, and a relentless focus on reads that actually hold.
If you have a brief that needs a peer to think with, or a network that needs a discipline to plug into, this is where that conversation starts.
Strategists & Consultancies
Peer strategists running parallel cycles. Joint research, syndicated polling, war-room overflow, and quiet second-opinion work.
Newsrooms & Researchers
Editors and research desks who need a strategist's read for political coverage, opinion polling, or cycle-end analysis.
Parties & Civic Bodies
Multi-constituency engagements where local cadres and an outside strategist must work as one disciplined team.
Civic Partners
Voter-education and transparency organizations that need strategic craft alongside their public-interest mandate.
How It Works
From idea to shared work
Collaboration starts with alignment. If the brief and the standards click, everything else follows naturally.
Share the brief
Present the cycle, the constituency, the goal. Be honest about what you bring and what you need. Narendra will be equally direct.
Align on terms
Define roles, ownership of the work, timelines, and confidentiality upfront. No ambiguity. Both sides know exactly what the partnership looks like.
Work together
Side by side. Weekly syncs, shared field discipline, and the quality that comes from two professionals who genuinely care about the outcome.
The Principles
How Narendra collaborates
Every partnership is built on the same foundation. These are not negotiable.
Equal commitment
Both sides invest real effort. No silent partners, no passengers - if you are in, you are in.
Clear ownership
Who owns which part of the work is defined before the first survey goes out. No disputes later, no ambiguity now.
Radical honesty
Disagreements are addressed in the room. Reads are challenged on merit. No politics, no passive aggression.
Quality is non-negotiable
Anything published or briefed under a joint signature meets the same standard. No cutting corners for speed or theatre.
Have something worth doing together?
If you have a brief that needs a peer, a network that needs a discipline, or a cycle that is too big for one strategist - let us talk.
