Since 2013, Axis My India has been releasing exit polls for almost every election. These are considered to be the most accurate. The exit polls for the 2019 general election and the Haryana assembly election also became the subject of a case study at Harvard Business School. When the Haryana state elections were about to end in 2019, Gupta found that his team's forecast about the election result was completely different from all other election survey companies. Shocked by this, he asked for another day to verify his data. While reviewing his team's analysis (which was confirmed by another round of interviews in the last 24 hours), Gupta began to wonder whether he should publish these figures or make slight changes to avoid controversy. But when the results came, his exit polls turned out to be correct.
