Commenting on the development, Raghav Bahl, Founder & Editor of Network18, said, “It is not easy to describe Sai's role and contribution to the group. He has been one of the key pillars of the Network18 story. I am truly privileged to have been able to work with someone like Sai who has, I daresay, given the prime of his life to the growth and development of our baby called Network18, right from the days when it was a fledgling single channel operation to its evolution as one of India's largest and most diversified and respected media companies. Needless to say, the Network18 family and I shall miss him dearly.”

Sai said on his departure, “Network18 has been an extension of my family. I take with me very good memories and I will always cherish the time spent here. It has been a tremendous learning ground and I thank all my colleagues for the support, passion and hard work they brought to work every day. While all good things come to an end, I see it as a new beginning and I am positive and hopeful that Network18 scales new heights hereon.”
