Vivek Bhavsar is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of TheNews21, an independent, reader-supported investigative newsroom based in Mumbai. With over three decades of experience in political and investigative journalism, he has worked with leading English dailies such as The Asian Age and Free Press Journal, as well as prominent regional publications including Lokmat and Saamana. Over the course of his career, he has covered a wide spectrum of beats—from policy-making and governance to urban ecology—before establishing himself as a specialist in political reporting and government decision-making. His work has consistently focused on accountability, public policy, and the inner workings of the state. He is widely recognised for his investigative journalism, particularly his exposés on government corruption and policy irregularities. His reporting on the multi-crore Nanar petrochemical project in Maharashtra’s Konkan region played a significant role in bringing public scrutiny to the project, ultimately leading to its cancellation.
