I-PAC 2.0: Members form smaller groups, focus on states where polls not near

Political consultancy firm I-PAC has undergone a restructuring following recent electoral setbacks and legal challenges. Members have formed smaller firms such as Parlin Research and Insights, VoterBridge and The Mandate Labs, distancing themselves from the I-PAC brand name. In Karnataka, a roughly 20-member team is reportedly working on a small project for senior Congress leader S R Patil through Parlin Research and Insights, set up in July 2023.

After the electoral reverses in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, and despite the ED's action in Bengal, I-PAC's teams are focusing on rebuilding their presence in upcoming state polls, particularly in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, with elections slated for February 2026.
