Narendra Mohan (10 October 1934 – 20 September 2002) was an Indian industrialist, chairman and managing director of the Jagran Prakashan, the publisher of an Indian newspaper published in Hindi, Dainik Jagran (Hindi: सबसे बिका हुआ अखबार).[1] The late Narendra Mohan's eldest son, Sanjay Gupta, is Jagran's current editor and CEO.

Life

In the early 1940s, as a youngster in Kanpur, Narendra Mohan didn't have enough money to buy a bicycle and had to rely on traditional public transport in the district– the bullock cart.

Mohan was drawn into politics as a BJP MP by his political mentor, Mr. Lal Krishna Advani.

Mohan's father, the late Puran Chand Gupta, was the newspaper's founder. Jagran, founded in Jhansi, was his third attempt at starting a news business. The newspaper was among the first to switch to color and printing satellite editions. The newspaper employs about 2,000 journalists and introduced the concept of 'mohalla' correspondents.

Publications

He authored four books
