About Pratik Doshi

Pratik Doshi, Vangmayi's spouse, works at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) as an Officer on Special Duty (OSD). Since his time as Gujarat's chief minister, Doshi, who is originally from Gujarat, has maintained a tight relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In 2014, when PM Modi was initially appointed prime minister, Doshi transferred to the PMO. With the rank of Joint Secretary, he was named OSD in the PMO in June 2019. With a solid foundation in political research from his stint at the Gujarat Chief Minister's Office (CMO), he plays a pivotal role in research and strategy at the PMO. 

Vangmayi Parakala has made a name for herself via her studies and intellectual interests, even though she is the daughter of a well-known politician. She embodies the harmony between intellectual excellence and political ancestry, having earned degrees from one of India's best colleges. Her decision to enter the spotlight or keep making contributions more discreetly is still up in the air.
