thebalanced.newsAxis My India Accurately Predicts Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry Election Outcomes
Axis My India accurately predicted key outcomes in the 2026 Assembly elections, including actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam winning around 108 seats in Tamil Nadu, defying other pollsters. The agency also correctly forecasted the Congress-led UDF's lead in Kerala and the BJP-backed alliance's win in Puducherry. Despite challenges like silent voters, Axis My India's data-driven approach earned recognition, with its chief Pradeep Gupta gaining renewed credibility after previous setbacks. The Kerala poll showed a split between voter preference for CM Pinarayi Vijayan and alliance support.
