Shaurya Doval is an Indian politician affiliated to the Bharatiya Janata Party and is the Executive Member of BJP Uttarakhand.

He is the founder and leader of India Foundation, a right-wing[1] think tank that is closely associated with the Narendra Modi Government.

[3][4] Doval and his organisation have attracted scrutiny by left-leaning news portals due to their alleged growing influence, opaque funding and ties to some of India cabinet ministers.

[9][10][4] Doval is an investment banker by profession and is the managing director of a Singapore-based wealth management firm, Torch Investment (previously known as Zeus Caps), a company chaired by Saudi Prince Mishaal bin Abdullah Al Saud.

[13][14] In 2014, Doval was a planner[1] for the $1.5m[15] public reception for the newly appointed Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi by the Indian American community at Madison Square Garden during his 2014 state visit to the US which was attended by 20,000 people.

[17] Political analysts speculated that he might contest the 2019 Indian general election from the Pauri Garhwal seat of Uttarakhand.

A subsequent criminal defamation case was filed by Vivek Doval against Ramesh, Caravan magazine and its staff writer who Doval claimed had used "inferences and innuendos" to give the impression that he and his family were involved in money laundering and round tripping.
