Raghav Bahl (ex-promoter of Network18 and TV18 who was turfed out by Reliance) is very forthright about his bitter learnings. He told me a) not to surrender equity 'cheaply' and b) to hang in there for at least 2 years, even if work and revenues are hard to come by. He's also got a very thoughtful foreword in a just-published book on Network18.
