Founded in 2021, Policy Access is a specialised public policy advocacy and regulatory advisory firm built on one conviction: optics are meaningless unless they deliver outcomes.

In an ecosystem where public policy is often reduced to commentary and performative engagement, we work inside the machinery of government decision-making to resolve real regulatory challenges with speed, clarity, and confidence.

In India, policy decisions are rarely made at the top alone. Influence is distributed, and outcomes depend on knowing where decisions are shaped and how to move them. Policy Access exists to do exactly that.

Led by former officials and advisers from NITI Aayog and the Ministries of Health, Finance, and Defence, we operate within the government’s decision architecture to help businesses secure critical approvals, shape policy outcomes in high-impact sectors, and de-risk regulatory exposure.

  • At Policy Access, public policy is about getting things done.
Policy Access – What We Do
What We Do

We enable Government Affairs teams to deliver outcomes
clearly, credibly, and effectively.

Regulatory Clarity & Decision-Path Mapping

What is required, by whom, and how decisions move — charted with precision so your team acts at every step with confidence.

Policy Intelligence That Matters

Early-warning updates with sharp analysis — signal over noise. We track what moves the needle, not everything that moves.

Senior Government Engagement

Official-level meetings and CXO engagements when required — direct access to the decision-makers that matter.

Advocacy & Drafting Support

Submissions, representations, negotiation, and follow-through. We shape the argument and see it through to resolution.

Incentives & Approvals

Customs / GST / ITC strategy, scheme access (PLI / ECMS), and approvals — unlocking value across the regulatory stack.

Crisis & Regulatory Resolution

Rapid response on disputes and time-sensitive issues — when the clock is running, we are already in the room.

"At Policy Access, public policy is about getting things done."

Policy Access – Why Us
Our Differentiators

Why
Policy Access

We are not a monitoring service or a conference circuit. We work inside the mechanics of government decision-making — combining deep institutional experience with hands-on execution to deliver outcomes that matter.

Deep Inside-Government Experience

Our team has held positions at the highest levels of India's policy machinery — NITI Aayog, the Finance Ministry, the Health Ministry, and senior corporate affairs roles — giving us an insider's understanding of how decisions are actually made.

Outcomes, Not Just Monitoring

Our inputs have contributed to landmark reforms — from changes to GST and customs duties to mission-mode schemes and infrastructure recognition. We are measured by progress: approvals secured, risks mitigated, and pathways unlocked.

Sectoral Depth

We bring practitioner-level expertise across healthcare & life sciences, financial services, infrastructure & energy, digital economy, and trade & climate — enabling precise, sector-specific engagement.

End-to-End Support

We combine high-level policy design and advocacy with hands-on licensing, customs resolution, GeM interventions, and scheme applications — from strategy to the last mile of execution.

Trusted Partner to Global & Indian Leaders

We advise multinationals, high-growth digital platforms, PE/VC investors, and leading Indian enterprises on their most sensitive policy mandates — where credibility and discretion are non-negotiable.

Thought Behind the
Policy Access Logo

Our name intentionally echoes the idea of Market Access, because in India, policy and regulation are often the real gateway to market entry, continuity, and growth. Policy Access represents that bridge: helping businesses navigate government systems, unlock approvals, and move from complexity to clarity.
