Aniruddha Bahal is the founder and editor-in-chief of Cobrapost.com – an Indian news website.[1] Prior to founding Cobrapost, he co-founded Tehelka.[1][2]

Bahal was born in Allahabad and is a university graduate. He moved to Delhi in 1991 where he began his journalistic career by writing and editing some articles at the Outlook and the India Today.[3] In 1999, he co-founded Tehelka.com – a news website, with Tarun Tejpal and another colleague from the Outlook after "an investor with deep pockets" agreed to underwrite their startup, according to the Independent.[3]

In 2003, Bahal wrote an espionage thriller Bunker 13.[2] Its "hipster-slang-spitting antihero", states an article on Bahal in the UK-based newspaper the Independent, "shoots smack, snorts speed, runs guns, administers date-rape drugs" and a scene therein went on to win the Literary Review's Bad Sex in Fiction Award.[3][4]

In 2005, Bahal founded and became the editor-in-chief of the online news magazine Cobrapost.com. It is particularly known for its undercover sting operations.[1]
