Founder @ House of Tech | Ex-Political Strategist | Building profitable consumer apps for the next 500M Indians

About

Modi 2014. Nitish 2015. Amarinder 2017. Rupani 2017. Fadnavis 2019. Modi 2019. Modi 2024. I wasn't watching — I was in the room. It started in 2013 with a role at Citizens for Accountable Governance during Modi's pre-election campaign. One thing led to another — Bihar, Punjab, Gujarat, Maharashtra. By 2019, I was part of the team at Jarvis that ran targeted outreach to 240 million voters across India. Along the way, I noticed something: political talent in India is either inherited or accidental. There's no real infrastructure to build it. That bothered me enough to do something about it — which is how School of Politics started in 2020. Since then, we've worked with 1000+ leaders and aspiring politicians across the country. In 2024, I started House of Tech — applying the same systems-thinking and scale-obsession from campaigns to building consumer apps for Bharat. I'm interested in problems that are large, messy, and deeply Indian. 📩 abhimanyu@houseoftech.ao | Open to conversations on consumer tech, civic innovation, and political strategy.
