== Establishment ==
The Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize was established by an [[eponym]]ous foundation in memory of Shakti Bhatt, an Indian publisher. Bhatt, the editor of Indian publishing house, Bracket Books, died following an illness in 2007. The Shakti Bhatt Foundation was established in her memory by her husband, Indian poet [[Jeet Thayil]], along other friends and family; the foundation funds and manages the award.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|date=2007-04-05|title=Bloggers in India Mourn the Untimely Death of Shakti Bhatt · Global Voices|url=https://globalvoices.org/2007/04/05/bloggers-in-india-mourn-the-untimely-death-of-shakti-bhatt/|access-date=2020-09-06|website=Global Voices|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Taneja|first=Preti|date=2018-02-09|title=Jeet Thayil: 'I have a liver condition, I'm reckless and I'm very aware that time is limited'|language=en-GB|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/feb/09/jeet-thayil-interview-man-booker-narcopolis-book-chocolate-saints|access-date=2020-09-06|issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

The prize was first awarded in 2008 to [[Mohammad Hanif (author)|Mohammad Hanif]] for his novel, ''[[A Case of Exploding Mangoes]]''.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|title=A Case of Exploding Talent - Indian Express|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/a-case-of-exploding-talent/393943|access-date=2020-09-06|website=archive.indianexpress.com}}</ref> In 2020, the new Prize was awarded to incarcerated scholars and writers [[Anand Teltumbde]] and [[Gautam Navlakha]].<ref name=":1" />

== Eligibility and Criteria ==
Between 2008 and 2019, the Award was open to nominations of first books published during the previous year in the [[Indian subcontinent]] within the categories of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and drama. Eligible books were either written in English, or translated into English from other languages. Publications from [[vanity press]]es were excluded.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3">{{Cite web|date=2010-12-10|title=Subramanian`s debut novel wins prize|url=https://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/bookworm/bookworm-s-trail/subramanian-s-debut-novel-wins-prize_1377.htm|access-date=2020-09-06|website=Zee News|language=en}}</ref>

In 2020, Thayil announced that the Prize would now be awarded to recognize a writer's body of work, rather than a first book. Speaking about the changes, Thayil stated, "It just seems to us that at this point (in 2020) it does not make sense to have a first book prize. When we started nobody was doing it. In time, first books came up in many shortlists. In fact, there were copycats for just first books prize as well. We just did not see the relevance. So, we wanted to give it to somebody where it will make a difference."<ref name=":1" />

The Award initially carried a cash prize of {{INRConvert|100000||lk=|year=2020}}.<ref name=":0" /> In 2014, the prize amount was increased to ₹200,000.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite web|date=2014-11-24|title=Remembering Shakti Bhatt: Bilal Tanweer wins 2014 Shakti Bhatt First Book Prize|url=https://forshakti.blogspot.com/2014/11/bilal-tanweer-wins-2014-shakti-bhatt.html|access-date=2020-09-06|website=Remembering Shakti Bhatt}}</ref>
