About smmedia
Our Story
SM Media Group is a research, content, and interview platform built for leaders who have something worth saying. We work with industry leaders across finance, education, energy, and AI, turning real conversations into content they can actually use, through in depth podcast , sharp research, and thoughtful marketing support. Every conversation we produce starts with genuine curiosity, not a template, because we believe the best content comes from real dialogue, not performance.
Beyond our podcast conversations, we also host exclusive, closed-door Chatham House dinners, bringing senior leaders together for candid, off-the-record discussions on the challenges shaping their industries.
Founded by journalist and media professional Swar Makhija, SM Media Group brings newsroom rigor to every interview we produce, the same care that goes into asking the right questions, understanding the person behind the title, and giving their story the space it deserves.
We're currently building our founding cohort, a small, curated group of leaders shaping what this platform becomes. We believe in building slowly, with real conversations, rather than quickly, with empty ones.
SM Media Group. Turning Dialogue Into Action.
Meet the Founder
Swar Makhija is a journalist and media professional based in New Delhi, with a career spanning some of India's most recognized media houses. She began her journey in guest relations at Economic Times and Times of India, before moving into client relations and research roles at Chips Technologies and Elets Technomedia, working across content, editing, social media, SEO, and virtual event management.
That journey, sitting at the intersection of journalism, client relations, and media production, is what led her to start SM Media Group: a platform built on a simple belief that every leader has a story worth telling well, and that most of them never get the chance to tell it properly.
Today, Swar leads SM Media Group's research, content, and interview work personally, bringing a journalist's curiosity and care to every conversation the platform produces.
When she's not producing conversations for SM Media Group, Swar is usually thinking about the next story worth telling.
