In India, Political Consulting is hardly a decade-old Tech. Based discourse driven by the number of outsiders hired to run the democratic process is increasing, comprising Political Analysts, Consultants, Engineers, Content Writers, Graphic Designers, and Fresh Graduates with a particular kind of "professional" angle.
These Political Experts, Technocratic professionals, and consultants often see their expanded role as heightening democratic participation. However, it is still being determined and remains a secret in general how such professionals by political parties and leaders target election campaigns, mine private data, and potentially manipulate voters and influence the display of political promises made by leaders to an electorate.
Consequently, voters elect representatives who hire external professionals to make their policies, campaigns, and image-making and shape the voting preferences in a highly organized and technocratic way. Ideally, the democratic process is about more than just elections. Electing political representation is the cornerstone of a representative democracy.
