Angad Bhatia, the founder of MensXP, has been appointed as the chief executive officer of Network18’s Firstpost and Creator18.

His new role comes after he recently left Mensa Brands, which acquired Indian Lifestyle Network (ILN) for US$100 million in 2022.

Creator18 aims to build a creator network across Network18’s digital platforms, according to a company statement.

Bhatia has extensive experience in digital media, having previously led MensXP, iDiva, and Hypp under the ILN brand.
