Prashant Kishore is not an ordinary political consultant.
According to his telling, he rarely watches news on TV and he doesn't read newspapers. He doesn't write emails, or take notes, and he hasn't used a laptop in a decade. The only gadget he uses is his phone, he told me. Mr Kishor has posted 86 tweets in three years, where he has half a million followers.
"I am not a believer in work-life balance and have literally no interests outside my work," he said.
Mr Kishor is India's best-known political consultant and strategist, though he dislikes the description. He is seen as a high-profile handler of politicians and an astute tactician who has perfected the art of winning elections and influencing people.
