Media careerBhartia joined Hindustan Times in 1986, as a 29 year old and directly as Chief Executive. She was the first woman chief executive of a national newspaper and probably one of the youngest.[2] She is considered to be one of the motive forces behind the transformation of the Hindustan Times "into a bright, young paper."[7] She looks after editorial as well as financial aspects, and is credited with raising Rs. 4 billion through a public equity launch of HT Media in September 2005.[8] She has received the Global Leader of Tomorrow award from the World Economic Forum (1996).

Political careerShobhana was one of the first Padma Shri award nominees in 2005.[10] The award was given for journalism. The following year, in February 2006, Shobhana was nominated to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of parliament, on a recommendation by the ruling United Progressive Alliance headed by Sonia Gandhi.[11] The nomination, reserved for eminent people from the fields of literature, science, art and social service, was challenged in the Supreme Court of India[12] on the grounds that she was a "media baron" and not a journalist, and that she was politically affiliated with the Indian National Congress. However, the court dismissed the appeal at the admission stage itself, saying that the scope of "social service" was broad enough to include her.[12] She introduced "The Child Marriage (Abolition) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill, 2006".[13] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/power-women|title=World's Most Powerful Women|website=Forbes|access-date=2016-06-07}} {{Aditya Birla Group}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bhartia, Shobhana}}2. ^1 {{cite news|publisher=The Economic Times |title=Business Empires: The Birlas: Hindustan Times |date=28 October 2004 |url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/corpbirlashow/902250.cms |accessdate=19 June 2007 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050707085403/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/corpbirlashow/902250.cms |archivedate=7 July 2005 }} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Paper Tigress|url=https://www.forbes.com/global/2008/0915/183.html|accessdate=6 March 2012|newspaper=Forbes|date=28 August 2008|author=Naazneen Karmali}} 4. ^1 HT Media Group Prospectus 2005-08-12 5. ^{{cite news| title = Hari Bhartia's mantra for success: The Rediff Interview/Hari Bhartia, MD, Jubilant Organosys| author = Bhupesh Bhandari| publisher = rediff.com| url = http://in.rediff.com/money/2005/dec/27inter.htm| date = 27 December 2005| accessdate =19 June 2006}} 6. ^{{cite news|title = Temptation is its other name|author = Sandhya Iyengar| publisher = The Hindu| url = http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mp/2003/06/02/stories/2003060200750200.htm|date = 2 June 2003}} 7. ^{{cite news|url = http://www.mid-day.com/smd/play/2003/april/50385.htm|title = Top 50 power points in the media|publisher = Mid Day| author = Pradyuman Maheshwari| date = 20 April 2003 }} 8. ^{{cite news|url = http://www.blonnet.com/2005/09/02/stories/2005090202381500.htm|title = HT Media debuts on BSE at Rs 685|publisher = The Hindu Business Line| date = 2 September 2005|accessdate = 19 June 2007}} 9. ^{{cite web|last=Scott|first=Mary E.|title=Asia's Women In The Mix, 2013: The Year's Top 50 for Achievement In Business|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesasia/2013/02/27/asias-women-in-the-mix-2013-the-years-top-50-for-achievement-in-business/|work=Forbes Asia|publisher=Forbes|accessdate=3 March 2013}} 10. ^{{cite web | url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf | title=Padma Awards | publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India | date=2015 | accessdate=July 21, 2015}} 11. ^{{cite news| title = Nominated to Rajya Sabha| publisher =The Hindu|url = http://www.hindu.com/2006/02/18/stories/2006021815040900.htm| date = 18 February 2006|accessdate =19 June 2007}} 12. ^1 {{cite news|title = Plea against nomination to Rajya Sabha rejected|author = Legal Correspondent|publisher = The Hindu| url =http://www.hindu.com/2006/04/29/stories/2006042904821300.htm| date =29 April 2006|accessdate =19 June 2007}} 13. ^{{cite web|url = http://rajyasabha.nic.in/bills-ls-rs/2006/CI_2006.pdf|format=PDF| title = The Child Marriage (Abolition) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill, 2006|publisher = Parliament of India, Rajya Sabha|date=December 2006}} 25 : Recipients of the Padma Shri in literature & education|Birla family|Rajasthani people|Nominated members of the Rajya Sabha|Living people|1957 births|University of Calcutta alumni|Marwari people|Indian mass media owners|Indian newspaper editors|Businesswomen from Delhi|Indian women editors|Indian editors|Hindustan Times|20th-century Indian journalists|20th-century Indian women writers|20th-century Indian businesspeople|20th-century Indian businesswomen|Indian women business executives|Indian business executives|21st-century Indian women writers|21st-century Indian businesspeople|21st-century Indian journalists|21st-century Indian businesswomen|Women newspaper editors |
