Somesh Jha is a business journalist who reports on government policies from New Delhi, with specialisation in landing scoops, deep investigative work and breaking news. During his professional journey of over eight years, he has worn multiple hats – covering politics for a financial daily, reporting on economy for a general newspaper and trying hands in digital journalism for a multimedia platform. His investigations on 'politics of data in India' got international recognition after he blew the lid off official survey reports, withheld by the Indian government, which showed record unemployment rate and a possible rise in poverty levels.
