Happy to share that our Reuters team has won @sajahq's Outstanding Business Reporting award for the second year running. The recognition is for a series of stories from 2025, centered on India's stricter tech regulatory regime and the behind-the-scenes disputes it drew from the world's largest technology companies. Reported by me, @adityakalra and @arpanc_, and edited by David Crawshaw. Judges' remarks: "India vs Big Tech was our clear, unanimous winner, and a standout on every one of the SAJA criteria. It is well-researched, exclusive and important, and it appears to have more and better material than anything else published on the subject. The exclusivity was striking: the reporters broke news that had never been reported before, and did it with depth. The volume of documentation and sourcing behind the work was impressive, along with the ability to tie the coverage to the larger theme of Indian policy and politics so that the reader understands why it matters. This was not a single scoop but a sustained investigation built on primary documents, including minutes of closed-door meetings and non-public court filings, with a diversity of sources across companies, government and civil society. It also had measurable impact, including the reversal of the smartphone-app mandate."
