Firstpost is an Indian news and media website. The site is a part of the Network 18 media conglomerate owned by Reliance Industries, which also runs CNN-News18 and CNBC-TV18.[1]
The Network 18 group was originally owned by Raghav Bahl. In January 2012, the group received an investment from Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) through a rights issue of up to ₹2,700 crore.[2]
History
In May 2013, the news group was merged with the Indian edition of Forbes whose four top editorial heads including editor in chief Indrajit Gupta were dismissed.[3][4] The event led to a media furore.[5]
As of July 2017, BV Rao is the Editor of Firstpost in Mumbai, while Sanjay Singh is the Deputy Executive Editor in Delhi and Jaideep Giridhar is the Deputy Executive Editor.[citation needed][6]
