In Early 1995, Indira Kannan joined TV18 as a young journalist. Since then she has been part of the roller coaster ride of Network 18. As a reporter, producer and presenter for various Network 18 channels, she has personally witnessed the phenomenal growth of the media empire, followed by the immense financial struggle to survive. For 16 years she was part of Network 18 and when the founders finally moved out in 2014, an idea struck.
She wanted to tell the fascinating story of how a small startup, born in a single room became a media empire. And that’s how the new book Network 18 – The Audacious Story of a Start-up That Became a Media Empire was born.
‘Network 18 – The Audacious Story of a Start-up That became a Media Empire’ has been published by Portfolio Penguin. It’s launching in September 2016. Advance copies are available in bookstores and online.
