About

With 18+ years as a business journalist and editor at Reuters in New Delhi, I've specialized in corporate news and investigative reporting that peels back the layers of India's booming economy -- exposing everything from high-stakes mergers and antitrust battles to the labyrinth of foreign investment regulations. My career is rooted in fact-based journalism, recognized with awards including the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Award and multiple Ramnath Goenka honors. From deeply reported investigations into Amazon's preferential seller tactics and product-copying schemes in India, to in-depth coverage of conglomerates like the Ambanis' Reliance and the Adani Group, and global giants such as Tesla, Facebook, Volkswagen, Apple and Google, my expertise spans technology, e-commerce, retail, public policy, and legal affairs.

For confidential outreach or chatting with me via Signal app, add me via username adityakalra.1985 After all, journalism isn't just about PR; it's about writing what people and companies don't want written.
