Short answer

What is Ground Mobilisation?

Door-to-door campaigns, padayatras, corner meetings and outreach events planned against booth targets and tracked to completion.

The Challenge

What usually goes wrong

Ground campaigns are often measured by effort rather than coverage. Everyone is busy, the candidate is exhausted, and nobody can state what percentage of target voters were actually contacted.

Our Approach

How we run it

  1. 01

    Coverage plan

    Contact targets are set per booth from the margin requirement, then converted into a routed daily schedule.

  2. 02

    Candidate time allocation

    The candidate’s hours are the scarcest resource in any campaign and are allocated against booth value, not invitation volume.

  3. 03

    Event architecture

    Corner meetings, padayatras and community interactions are sequenced to build visible momentum toward the final week.

  4. 04

    Contact recording

    Every interaction is recorded so coverage is a number on a dashboard rather than a claim in a meeting.

  5. 05

    Gap correction

    Weekly review reallocates teams to booths falling behind coverage target.

Where this was deployed

Municipal Corporation Election Campaign

FAQ

Questions we are asked

It depends on the margin required and the competitiveness of the seat. We set the target from the booth model rather than applying a generic percentage.
