Booth-level electoral data, clean and comparable, for serious research.
Studying Indian elections usually starts with months of scraping PDFs. Brahmastra gives researchers results, rolls, local-body and boundary data already cleaned and keyed to the booth — so the time goes into the question, not the spreadsheet.

What research scholars do with Brahmastra.
Each card names the module it runs on — open it to see the module in detail.
Voting behaviour over time
Follow the same booths across Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections to study swing, incumbency, turnout and split-ticket voting.
Demography of the electorate
Aggregate roll data by age band, gender and polling part, with additions and deletions between revisions, for studies of participation and inclusion.
Local democracy studies
Gram, Kshetra and Zila Panchayat and municipal ward results — contestants, margins, winners — for work on decentralisation and local leadership.
Spatial analysis
State, PC, AC, district and village boundaries with polling stations plotted, so results can be mapped and joined to other spatial data.
Field surveys with verified responses
Run your own questionnaire on the Brahmastra Survey app — branching questions, GPS and timestamp on every response, offline collection, and live tracking of enumerators.
AI help with literature and coding
Brahmastra AI summarises seat histories, codes open-ended survey answers into themes and drafts descriptive sections — you verify every claim.
Brahmastra Survey app · ज़मीनी सच
The survey app built for India's ground.
Collect your own primary data on the Brahmastra Survey app — branching questionnaires, GPS and timestamps on every response, and a replayable record of where each enumerator went. A methods section that writes itself.
Works with zero signal
Forms, photos, video, voice notes and whole field shifts are saved on the phone and sync on their own when the network returns — a retried upload never creates a duplicate.
GPS-stamped responses
Every response can carry a high-accuracy GPS fix with its accuracy and time, tied to the agent who collected it. The form unlocks only after the agent starts a field shift.
Smart questionnaires
Text, paragraph, single-choice, multiple-choice and number questions, branching to any depth, required-answer checks and topic sections — each survey targeted to a state and seat.
Photo, video & voice proof
Camera photos, 60-second videos, in-app voice notes and documents — each saved with where and when it was captured, grouped into field reports.
Live field map
Seat boundary, villages and polling-station pins, the distance to the nearest booth, the agent's walked trail and teammates live — and agents can correct a booth's location on the spot.
Walk-the-boundary mapping
Mark boundaries, covered areas, restricted zones and landmarks by walking them or tapping the map, with perimeter and area measured live. Pin rally spots, banner spots and influencers' houses.
Team tracking & replay
Supervisors see every agent's live position, a calendar of who worked each day, distance walked, villages covered and responses submitted — and can replay any shift's route.
Light on battery and data
Battery-tuned location tracking, compressed media and opt-in offline maps (about 20 MB a seat) keep phones going through a full day in the field.
