Compared to the largest player in the media industry, Zee noted that it was the most profitable network, despite being smaller in scale due to its lack of presence in the sports segment.

Major players are shifting to a 'full stack' model where they continue to operate their traditional
channels, but also incorporate emerging media into their platforms, noted Zee. The firm plans to "enhance its digital offerings in a profitable manner both domestically and internationally without going beyond content ecosystem."

Zee is also positioned to become leading & profitable OTT player, having completed the investment cycle. The entertainment player is also developing new business verticals to expand its target
audience and augment revenue streams, such as micro dramas, UGC, Live Events, Edutainment, Emerging Sports, and more.

Other initiatives include:

  • Developing new distribution business model to capture and retain a larger pool of eyeballs
  • Enhancing content offerings (long form to short form) addressing to all age cohorts
  •  Investing into media-tech to enhance the viewership experience
  • Inorganic expansion through acquisitions or strategic partnerships in high growth verticals such as digital, music, and more

"The capital deployed in the growth initiatives will be aimed at enhancing the profitability of the company in next 3 years and surpass the highest EPS delivered by the company on enhanced capital base," said the firm.
