Steven Gutkin, the venture’s chief advisor, is an awardwinning journalist who has reported from some two dozen countries in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the Americas. An international newsman for 25 years, Steven served as bureau chief with the Associated Press, the world’s largest news gathering organization, in Venezuela, Singapore, Indonesia and Israel. Steven covered the rise and fall of the Medellin and Cali cocaine cartels, rode into Kabul with a triumphant northern alliance and directed coverage of wars in Iraq, Gaza and Lebanon. That’s in addition to covering the killing of Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, hurricanes in Puerto Rico and Mexico, a coup in Fiji and the rise to power of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Steven has also reported for the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek and CBS Radio.

Marisha Dutt, Publisher of Goa Streets, has worked as a marketing manager and banker. She was born in Assam, India and spent her early years on a tea plantation overlooking a pristine wildlife sanctuary. When she was 10, she and her family moved to Calcutta, where Marisha had the privilege of working alongside Mother Teresa. Later the family moved to Goa. She gained valuable experience on the business side of journalism and newspapers through her position as Advertising Manager with Dow Jones International in Singapore. Her duties included managing ad portfolios for the Wall Street Journal. Marisha and Steven were married a decade ago on the Candolim beach, and they are the proud parents of two young sons.
