Mahendra Swarup
  
Not many companies on the Indian corporatescape have survived the internet’s boom and bust. While many had entered the fray, only a handful managed to sustain themselves. Indiatimes has led that tiny brigade, and ultimately ended up doing a solo in achieving the coveted the “profitable” show at a time when the words “profit” and “internet” could never be juxtaposed.

Mahendra Swarup, as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Times Internet Limited has led this unique charge taking Indiatimes from under the Times of India umbrella to the glory of being a super brand by its own right in just three years.

Success has come to Indiatimes not because of the way the company did business, but because of the way its leadership thought. Mr. Swarup is a diehard believer in the Internet, mobile and convergence of the new media. He professes chaos as the solution for stability and practice fluidity of processes as the breeding ground for innovation. It is this iconoclastic brain that created a culture of rare brilliance which forms the foundation of TIL’s success story. He also led Indiatimes into the Mobile Value Added Services space and pioneered the SMS based services through the first independent short code 8888.
Mr. Swarup was the Executive Director on the board of PepsiCo in India before he took over as Managing Director & CEO of Times Internet Limited. His key achievements as part of the top management team at PepsiCo included growth of the market addition of 11 factories, consolidation of franchisees and affecting a substantial increase in the business.
