Network18 founder Raghav Bahl's upcoming digital news venture is called Quintillion Media, which incidentally means 10^18, a nod to his Network18 roots, although this is a bigger number. The details on Quintillion Media is a bit sparse at the moment, although Bahl's wife and Quintillion Media director Ritu Kapur's LinkedIn profile suggests that they will launching a mobile first news product. A NewsMinute report also suggests that the company has formed a 20 member team consisting of editorial, marketing and brand management and the site will launch by the end of Q1 2015. In July this year, Bahl had mentioned that they will begin with Hindi and English, and then move to regional news.

Former FirstPost editor-at-large Dhiraj Nayyar has been appointed as the managing editor at Quintillion Media, while former Web18 VP Roshan Tamang has been roped in as digital media consultant for Bahl-controlled RB Investments Ltd. Quintillion Media seems to have also roped in several journalists including former CNN IBN journalist Toral Varia who has been appointed as associate editor, India Today's Jaskirat Singh Bawa, IndiaSpend deputy editor Sanjit Oberai, former CNN IBN news editor Girish Nair and DNA's Namita Handa among others. What's worth noting that most of these journalists seems to have worked at Network18 at some point in time.
