Years of Practice
For more than a decade, India's most consequential corporates, founders and institutions have turned to one name when the stakes are highest and the margin for error is none.
Jigar Thakkar is a strategic counsel to some of India's most influential business houses, founders and institutional leaders — the discreet hand behind narratives that protect billion-dollar reputations and decisions that shape national conversation.
The practice operates at the intersection of boardroom, newsroom and corridor. Where conventional public-relations firms write press releases, Jigar engineers outcomes — mobilising relationships across the highest tiers of government, industry and media to contain crises before they form, and to reframe them when they do.
Trusted across the political spectrum and at the very top of India's corporate establishment, the practice is known for two things above all: absolute discretion, and a track record of being called in when nothing else has worked.
— a final word, when the first one isn't enough.
Invited counsel and panellist at national platforms including the Make in India initiative, industry summits, and closed-door strategy convenings of India's leading business federations.
Containment, counter-narrative and recovery for reputational events of national consequence — from the first 60 minutes to long-tail rehabilitation. Available 24/7 on retainer.
Long-arc positioning for founders, families and institutions — built on intelligence, narrative architecture and earned visibility across the platforms that decide opinion.
Advocacy at the highest tiers of central and state government. Stakeholder mapping, policy positioning, and counsel grounded in relationships built over a decade of national engagement.
Op-eds, founder voice, leadership profiles and on-record positioning — placed with editorial integrity across India's leading mastheads and digital platforms.
Real-time intelligence and active management of social narrative — shaping what trends, what fades, and what gets attributed. Calibrated for India's most-watched accounts and brands.
Direct, confidential advisory to chairmen, founders and family principals. A single point of trust across reputation, narrative, government interface and personal brand.
Map the actors, the audiences, the press cycle, the politics. Nothing is briefed until the room is fully understood.
Set the narrative the client needs to own — then engineer the channels, voices and timing to make it inevitable.
Activate trusted relationships across media, industry, civil society and government to move the story decisively.
Close the loop. Convert containment into long-term reputational equity that compounds for the client.

You call a person.”
