The award ceremony was held in Chennai on November 23. Pratap reported on the disruption in the Indian telecom industry, and what it means for the government, the banks, and the consumers as only three telecom players have come to dominate the market.

This year, it received 473 nominations (Journalism - 343; Social Impact - 130) from journalists and social impact enablers from across India.
