Research · Communication · Grassroots Insight · Public Affairs
Public Doctrine is an independent platform working across research, communication, and public affairs in India.
Founded by Raunak Kumar, Public Doctrine brings together data-driven analysis, digital communication, grassroots understanding, and advisory work to help leaders, institutions, and citizens engage more thoughtfully with public issues.
The platform operates at the intersection of research, governance, social realities, and communication—without aligning itself with any political party or narrow ideology.
Understanding Issues Beyond Headlines
Public conversations today are often fast, emotional, and fragmented.
Important issues trend briefly, but their deeper causes and real-world impact are rarely explored.
Public Doctrine exists to slow things down.
We focus on understanding issues from multiple angles—data, field insight, research, and communication—so that public dialogue becomes clearer, more responsible, and grounded in reality.
What Public Doctrine Does
Public Doctrine works across multiple, interconnected areas:
Research & Analysis
We conduct structured research and long-form analysis on public, social, political, and governance-related issues. Our work prioritises context, evidence, and long-term understanding over momentary reactions.
Data-Driven Insights
Data is meaningful only when it is interpreted responsibly. We analyse data to understand trends, public sentiment, and policy impact—making complex information accessible and useful for decision-making.
Grassroots Insight & Reporting
Ground realities shape public life more than narratives do. Through field observation, interaction, and reporting, we bring forward grassroots perspectives that are often missing from mainstream conversations.
Social Media & Digital Communication
Public Doctrine supports responsible digital communication. We work on social media strategy, content planning, and narrative alignment for leaders, institutions, and initiatives—ensuring that communication remains ethical, issue-focused, and credible.
Consulting & Advisory
We provide issue-based advisory support across public communication, political consulting, governance strategy, and civic engagement. This includes research support, narrative building, grassroots feedback analysis, and long-term communication planning.
Political Consulting & Public Communication
Public Doctrine offers political and public affairs consulting that is grounded in research and public interest.
Our consulting work focuses on:
- Understanding public sentiment through data and grassroots inputs
- Supporting leaders and institutions in issue-based communication
- Shaping responsible political and governance narratives
- Advising on ethical social media and digital outreach
- Aligning communication strategies with ground realities
We do not engage in propaganda. Our work is centred on credibility, ethics, and long-term trust.
Why Grassroots Insight Matters
Policies, campaigns, and communication fail when they ignore lived realities.
Public Doctrine places strong emphasis on understanding communities, local governance, and everyday public experiences. These insights help leaders, organisations, and institutions stay connected to real concerns rather than assumptions or trends.
Social Impact & Public Benefit
Public Doctrine is driven by a commitment to public benefit.
Through its work, the platform contributes to:
- Public awareness and civic education
- Evidence-based and responsible communication
- Digital literacy and ethical use of social media
- Amplification of grassroots voices
- Stronger connections between institutions, leaders, and communities
These efforts align closely with social development goals related to education, awareness-building, community engagement, and participatory governance.

Public Doctrine actively collaborates with:
- CSR initiatives and corporate foundations
- Non-profit and social sector organisations
- Educational and research institutions
- Leaders, policymakers, and public representatives
