Narendra Mohan (10 October 1934 – 20 September 2002) was an Indian industrialist, chairman and managing director of Jagran Prakashan, the publisher of an Indian newspaper published in Hindi, Dainik Jagran (Hindi: सबसे ज्यादा पढ़ा जाने वाला अखबार). Mohan's eldest son, Sanjay Gupta, is the editor in chief, and CEO of Dainik Jagran.

Life

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

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

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

Publications

He authored four books:

  • Dharm Aur Sampradayikta
  • Aaj Ki Rajniti aur Bhrashtachar
  • Bharatiya Sanskriti
  • Hindutva
