Shaurya Doval is an Indian Politician and Investment Banker who is member of the Bharatiya Janata Party and is the Executive Member of BJP Uttarakhand. He is the founder and leader of India Foundation, a right-wing think tank that is closely associated with the Narendra Modi Government. He has worked as investment banker for GE Capital and Morgan Stanley and heads Torch Investment (previously known as Zeus Caps). He is the eldest son of Ajit Doval who is National Security Adviser of India.
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. Doval filed a criminal defamation case against The Caravan and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh for 'deliberately defaming him "seemingly to settle scores" with his father. In December 2020, Ramesh apologised in court for "any hurt the statements may have caused".
