CENTRE for VOTING OPINION & TRENDS in ELECTION RESEARCH (CVOTER) came into being with the vision of our Founder Editor Mr. Yashwant Deshmukh. Much before India’s corporations developed the confidence and the verve to deliver world class goods and services within the typical constraints of Indian system, he envisioned a world class stakeholder research and consultancy organization more than 25 years ago; symbolizing the spirit of Make in India, for the world. Today CVOTER is a pre-eminent name within South Asia and carries a formidable reputation across the globe. We were ranked by renowned pollster Nate Silver on his blog as amongst the more accurate pollsters during the 2012 US Presidential Campaign.

Not content with being only a stakeholder research agency we have successfully forayed into print and electronic media, social research, market research and consultancy services. Backed by state-of-the-art data management and analysis software and a group of highly motivated analysts who look at the future as an era of limitless possibilities, we deliver value to our clients, like no other. Fired by the ambition to create a better and more equal world, we have worked consciously towards cultivating and developing the expertise of professional communities working in the areas of humanitarian and societal assistance. We do this through our core expertise areas which include evaluation, designing, field data collection, report writing, analysis and training in planning, monitoring and evaluation.
