Mr. Arora now leads the building scale agenda of MPS.
Five levers power MPS' growth strategy in the coming
years, including leading with a market-based approach,
scaling STAR accounts, acquiring new customer logos
via compelling marketing, developing new capabilities,
and acquiring growing assets that further add to the
momentum.
Mr. Arora powered the diversification phase between
2015 and 2020 with the acquisitions of marquis market
players, including HighWire Press (founded at Stanford
University) and the purchase of TIS (a division, founded
in 1990, as part of one of the largest Indian
conglomerates), which propelled MPS further into an
accelerated trajectory. Much of MPS' story during this
period was inorganic. And each acquisition was
unlocked for tremendous synergies, enhancing MPS'
long-term competitive advantage.
Mr. Rahul Arora holds a Bachelor of Science degree in
Business Management with concentrations in Economics
and Entrepreneurship from Babson College (Class of
2007). In 2011, he completed his full-time residential
Post Graduate Program in Management with majors in
Marketing and Strategy from the Indian School of
Business, Hyderabad, India. He then completed the
Advanced Management Program at the Wharton School
of the University of Pennsylvania in 2017. Rahul
recently completed the Owner/President Program at
Harvard Business School as part of its 60 [th] class.
