Network18 Media & Investments, publicly owned and headquartered in India, is an Indian media and entertainment conglomerate controlled by Reliance Industries Limited, and lists History TV18 as a subsidiary. Founded in 1996 as an independent production house, the company operates with an estimated 2,270 employees and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer, having reported $243.5M in revenue as of 2025. Specializing in broadcast television and radio, the group, led by Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi, operates an expansive data, television, and publishing footprint. Its operations encompass a nationwide ecosystem of over 20 linear news channels, regional publications, and digital products that reach a digital population of over 360 million monthly active users. The conglomerate generates multi-million-dollar cash flows through dual revenue architectures combining traditional enterprise ad-sales, consumer subscription models, and programmatic digital real estate monetization.
On October 8, 2026, senior broadcast journalist Rubika Liyaquat rejoined Network18 as Managing Editor of News18 Rajasthan, assuming a dual leadership role to direct overall editorial strategy and newsroom operations for the regional Hindi news channel, and anchor the 7:00 PM national news bulletin on News18 India. Previously, on October 1, Nimit Tiwari joined Network18 Media & Investments as National Retail Head, taking charge of a strategic initiative focused on expanding the company’s media business across India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Tiwari previously served as Revenue Head at Optimal Media Solution. This followed the departure of veteran journalist Amish Devgan from News18 India on September 24, ending his nearly decade-long tenure with Network18, which began in 2016 as Executive Editor and anchor of IBN7 (now News18 India). Earlier in September, on the 10th, Creator18, a Network18 venture, refreshed its brand identity and appointed Anurag Iyer as Chief Executive Officer, shifting its focus from creator representation to an IP-led new media model centered on building creator-led intellectual property and long-term media businesses.
