So what’s the origin of the 18 in Network 18? It has been discussed, dissected and analysed by media pundits over and over again. Back in 1991 when Raghav Bahl started his own company he asked his co-founders RayC and CB Arun Kumar to come up with few names.

They racked their brains and came up with few options. But when they approached Raghav it was too late, he had made up his mind. The company would be called TV18.
