== Political career ==
In 2004, Bora started his political career as a member of BJP's National Media Cell, the party's in-house communication and public relations unit.

=== National Convenor, IT Cell (2007-09) ===
Thereafter, in 2007, he was elevated and appointed the National Convenor of [[BJP]]'s Information Technology (IT) Cell. The IT Cell was BJP's newest organisational unit, and Bora was its first head. The IT Cell had 3 roles: (a) automate the Party organisation; (b) attract IT professionals to the Party; and (c) advise the Party on IT Policy issues. With that mandate, Prodyut set up cells in 22 states across the country. He also automated the party using [[Open-source software|‘open source’ software]]. It was an innovative experiment to create an entire organisational IT ecosystem using free and open source software, and his efforts became the subject of a case study.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://archive09.linux.com/feature/150549|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081021192944/https://www.linux.com/feature/150549|archivedate=2008-10-21|date=2008-10-20|work=[[Linux Magazine]]|title=Indian political party turns to FOSS|first=Marco|last=Fioretti}}</ref>

In November 2008, Bora was selected to run the communications office of BJP's Prime Ministerial Candidate for the 2009 Lok Sabha Elections, [[LK Advani]]. He designed and launched the campaign website of Advani, and very soon it became one of India's most visited websites with an average of 3 million page views per month.{{citation needed|date=February 2016}}

As a part of the 2009 campaign team, he was also instrumental in producing BJP's IT Vision document.

=== State General Secretary (2010-12) ===

In January 2010, Bora moved to [[Assam]] to take charge as State General Secretary of BJP's Assam unit. In the 2011 elections to the state legislature, he was pitted by his party to stand against [[Himanta Biswa Sarma]], two-time legislator and minister, in the [[Jalukbari (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Jalukbari]] assembly constituency. Although he lost, Prodyut more than quadrupled his party's vote share.

=== National Executive Member (2013-) ===
In April 2013, Bora was appointed a member of BJP National Executive Committee (NEC).
