A movement for the citizen — by the citizen.
Political Party-less India (PPLI) is a non-partisan, constitutional reform movement working to put participation back at the heart of Indian democracy.
Why we exist.
India's democracy has succeeded as an electoral system. PPLI exists to help it succeed as a participatory one — where citizens, not parties, set the standard for governance, ethics and accountability.
We work through civic literacy, research, grassroots organizing and constitutional dialogue. We work with everyone. We work for India.
Strengthen citizens' capacity to participate in governance
Advance transparency in public institutions
Push for genuine devolution of power
Build civic-tech tools for accountability
Mamidi Venumadhav
An entrepreneur, civic thinker and reform-oriented citizen, Mamidi Venumadhav has spent years studying what works in democratic systems around the world — and what holds India back. PPLI is the expression of that journey: a public, peaceful, constitutional invitation to every citizen to take part.
"I am not seeking power. I am seeking participation — from a billion of us."
