About Saswat Mishra

I work at the intersection of government, policy, and strategic communication, where complexity needs clarity, and intent must translate into action. Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with Mr. PP Chaudhary (MP & Chairperson, JPC on One Nation-One Election), helping craft over 100 parliamentary interventions, including Private Member Bills and high-impact speeches. I now support strategic policy communication at Data, Policy and Innovation Centre (DPIC) government innovation unit backed by the University of Chicago Trust, building bridges between departments, data, and decisions. I’m drawn to roles that require an instinctive grasp of power structures, legislative nuance, and stakeholder strategy, particularly in public affairs, advocacy, and government relations. My interest lies in building systems that last, narratives that influence, and coalitions that deliver. Outside work, I’m an adventure sport enthusiast, a solo traveler, and someone who finds meaning in cultural histories, philosophy, long walks, and quiet observation. I value depth, integrity, and the kind of dialogue that shapes institutions, and the people behind them.
