General Information
Founding Year
1932
Affiliated Interests Founder
was a freedom fighter who was a part of Mahatma Gandhi’s fight for India’s Independence from the British. In 1922, his family sent him to Madras (now Chennai) for the occupation as a dealer in yarn and jute. A few years down the line, in 1934, he bought shares in a local company that owned The Indian Express newspaper. It took him only two more years to buy out the company and launch a newspaper brand that would resonate with fearless, investigative and independent journalism for many decades to come.
For a person who was associated with the Indian National Congress in pre-independence era, Goenka faced the wrath of Congress Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975 for supporting Gandhi’s political opponent, Jaya Prakash Narayan during the Emergency period. Later another Congress Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi’s son, Rajiv Gandhi also had Goenka in his crosshairs as the newspaper exposed corruption scams against Rajiv Gandhi. Goenka is largely credited with unseating both the Prime Ministers, Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi as a result of his investigative journalism
In 1941 Ramnath Goenka was elected president of the National Newspaper Editors’ Conference. He was also a member of the first Constituent Assembly. In 1948 in collaboration with the daily newspaper Tej he has started an English Newspaper The India News Chronicle in Chennai later renamed to The Indian Express. After Independence, he was an appointed member of the Constituent Assembly of India, which was formed to frame the Constitution of India.
