Robin Sharma Director: Focuses on election surveys, opinion polling, and voter data analysis. Political
strategy has existed in India for centuries. Think of the Mahabharata, where Lord Krishna guided Arjuna to
victory, or Chanakya, who mastered statecraft long before Machiavelli. At ShowTime, we seek modern-
day Chanakyas from top global institutions. Using the latest techniques, we help clients navigate the
evolving political landscape. As a leader in this space, I’m proud that Showtime Consulting is among the
fastest-growing firms and the only one appointed by a political party for five years—thanks to the brilliant
minds at Team STC.
