Network18 Media & Investments, publicly owned and headquartered in India, was founded in 1993 and operates with approximately 2270 employees. The company reported $243.5M in revenue as of 2025 and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. Its main product focus is broadcast television and radio. The company functions as an Indian media and entertainment conglomerate, serving as the primary broadcasting and digital arm of Reliance Industries. Operating as an "omni-channel" network, the company manages a portfolio spanning news, entertainment, and digital content. 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 strategic joint ventures, notably with Viacom18 and A+E Networks, it 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.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, speaking at the Network18 Future of Work Summit on April 28, warned that artificial intelligence could eliminate up to half of existing jobs in Bengaluru and other Indian cities, urging policymakers to prepare for significant labor market disruption. Earlier, despite Network18 Media & Investments Limited posting solid earnings, its stock performance did not meet expectations, with shareholders potentially noting concerning factors beyond the statutory profit numbers on April 25. This followed the company's report on April 24, indicating a steady rise in revenue and increased profit for the March quarter, outperforming a weak advertising environment for the TV news industry through strong market positions and growth in new businesses. Previously, on April 21, its subsidiary News18 relaunched Tech2.com, a technology news platform, with an AI-first approach aimed at digital consumers. On the same day, Network18 Media & Investments also reported its standalone quarterly numbers for March 2026, with net sales reaching Rs 547.07 crore, a 4.85% increase from Rs 521.76 crore in March 2025, although it recorded a quarterly net loss of Rs 72.51 crore.
