Network18 announced the appointment of Nalin Mehta, Managing Editor of Moneycontrol as Chief AI Officer – Editorial Operations, who will now also lead AI implementation.
Network18 runs 21 news channels in 16 languages, four leading digital news platforms, and two magazines.
In his new role, Nalin will drive the integration of AI into editorial operations across Network18’s brands. He will lead the creation of innovative AI-powered content solutions, establish a framework for responsible AI use in journalism, and build a collaborative AI ecosystem spanning editorial, technology, product and design. A key focus will be training journalists across the network and crafting editorial processes that embed AI as a core enabler—without compromising journalistic ethics and rigour.
This editorial AI transformation will be powered by ‘Answers’, Network18’s proprietary AI tool. Nalin will work closely with editorial leaders and tech teams to develop customised, brand-specific implementations.
In addition to his new role, Nalin will continue to lead Moneycontrol’s editorial efforts as Managing Editor, where he has been instrumental in redefining business journalism since taking charge a little over a year ago.
