Shantanu Guha Ray is a Wharton-trained journalist based in New Delhi. He is the India editor for Central European News, one of the fastest growing wire agencies in Europe. For almost three decades, he has served both print and the electronic media. Some of his milestones include scooping the billion-dollar coal scam, arguably India’s biggest scandal till date. He scooped it in October 2011 – much before the Indian newspapers picked up the CAG report – while working for India Today, where he also scooped the Delhi airport scam. Out of the three CAG reports that year (2011-12), he scooped two. A diehard editor, he specializes in both business, economic, marketing and investigative reporting, often doing the odd-ball human interest stories. His cover for Tehelka on lobbyists in New Delhi is still considered a yard stick in reporting on profession still not recognized by the Indian government. His news report on India’s only female dom in Varanasi for New York Times was among the top trending stories of the daily across the world in 2014. Winner of several awards: Ramnath Goenka award, 2014 Overseas Press Club of America award for best online investigation, 2011 Columbia School of Journalism award for investigative reporting from India, 2011 World News Conference award, Beijing, 2010 Freedom of Expression award, Oslo, April, 2010 Wash award for reporting on water, 2008 John Sheenan Award, Wharton Biz School, 2008
