Remembering S Swaminathan: a visionary in digital reporting
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Mr S Swaminathan, CEO and Founder of IRIS Business Services, who died suddenly on Wednesday.
Swami, as he was warmly known, was a real pioneer in the field of digital reporting. A passionate advocate and visionary leader, he played a foundational role in establishing XBRL in India and championed its expansion around the world. His dedication and insight left an indelible mark on the global reporting landscape. Swami will be remembered for his warmth, wisdom and deep humanity. He was a friend and mentor to many in our community, always generous with his time and encouragement.
We honour Swami’s memory and immense contributions to the XBRL community. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all at IRIS Business Services — in particular to his wife and co-founder Deepta Rangarajan, fellow co-founder K “Balu” Balachandran, and Anand Padmanabhan, IRIS President and member of the XBRL International Board of Directors.
He will be missed. See more here.
