Network18 Media & Investments, a Publicly Owned company headquartered in India, was founded in 1993. Employing approximately 2270 individuals, the company reported $823.1M in revenue as of 2024 and operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer. Its main product focus is broadcast television and radio. Functioning as the primary broadcasting and digital arm of Reliance Industries, it manages a portfolio spanning news, entertainment, and digital content as an "omni-channel" network. Its broadcasting division (TV18) runs a suite of news channels, including the business-focused CNBC-TV18 and the general news brands CNN-News18 and News18 India, alongside a regional network. Through joint ventures with Viacom18 and A+E Networks, it also controls entertainment assets such as Colors, MTV, and History TV18. Beyond television, the group has a digital footprint with platforms like Moneycontrol and Firstpost, and holds investments in allied businesses such as the ticketing platform BookMyShow.
Network18 strengthened its digital editorial leadership on April 4, 2026, appointing Ameesh Rai as Deputy Editor for Moneycontrol Hindi. Rai brings nearly 16 years of experience across print, television, and digital media, transitioning from the India Today Group where he served as Associate Executive Producer for the "TAK" cluster. Previously, on April 3, the company stated that its news channels dominated YouTube viewership across English, Hindi, and business news categories in March 2026, driven by geopolitical tensions. CNN-News18 alone recorded 130 million live and video-on-demand views in the English news segment during that month. Earlier the same day, senior journalist Palki Sharma concluded her tenure with Network18 on March 31, transitioning to entrepreneurship. This followed Network18's announcement on April 2, broadening editorial leadership roles; Smriti Mehra, S Shivakumar, and Mitul Sangani now report directly to the MD & Group Editor-in-Chief.
