No surprise then that the country’s leading newspaper groups are run by Marwari families. Be it the world’s most read newspaper Dainik Jagran from the stable of Mahendra Mohan Gupta’s Jagran Prakashan, or the world’s most-read English newspaper, The Times of India, published by Bennett Coleman, headed by Indu Jain. Then there is the venerable Indian Express headed by Viveck Goenka, TV media mogul Subhash Chandra who also publishes English daily DNA, and the nation’s second-most read newspapers in Hindi and English (Hindustan and Hindustan Times) published by HT Media’s Bhartia.
