Josy Joseph
Journalist and Founder of Confluence Media
Josy Joseph, an award-winning writer and journalist based in New Delhi, is the founder of Confluence Media, a platform-agnostic investigative journalism outfit.
His first book, A Feast of Vultures: The Hidden Business of Democracy in India, won the 2017 Crossword Award for the best non-fiction book. He has won several awards for his journalism, including the Prem Bhatia Trust’s ‘India’s best political reporter’ in 2010 and the ‘Journalist of the Year’ Ramnath Goenka award in 2013. The Prem Bhatia trust citation said the award was ‘for his scoops and revelations, which include a list of scams that have become familiar names in the political lexicon’.
Josy has exposed some of India’s biggest scandals—among them, the Mumbai Adarsh Housing scam and the 2010 Commonwealth Games scams—and his stories have played a significant role in impacting the country’s social and political narrative. He was the National Security Editor of The Hindu newspaper until August 2018, when he left to start Confluence Media.
Previously, he has also worked with The Times of India as its Editor, Special Projects, Daily News and Analysis (DNA) as an Associate Editor, and several other mainstream publications. At Confluence Media, Josy is experimenting with creating a commercially viable, scalable, quality journalism outfit.
