Commenting on the 4^th anniversary, Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India said, “We are entering our 4^th year with great enthusiasm and vigor, riding high on the last one year which has been a blockbuster. The response from the last four years of our operations has been phenomenal as we trotted into new markets, partnered with industry stalwarts, introduced many firsts, and moved a little closer to our goal of deeper regionalization and entertainment inclusion.

This year is going to be even bigger and better as we expand our content library further with premium offerings, improve our user experience, activate more value-driven partnerships, and set new industry standards. As the multilingual storyteller of India and Bharat alike, we will continue to focus on entertainment inclusion by producing relatable and entertaining content, keeping our diverse audience in mind, and we will keep investing in making ZEE5 a democratic, user-friendly platform of choice, not just in India but also across global shores.”

Commenting on the occasion of the 4th anniversary, Nimisha Pandey, Chief Content Officer, Hindi Originals, ZEE5 added, “With OTT growing in prominence, content consumption got democratized, paving the way for creators to explore and expand the narrative with newer concepts and genres that have led to several consumer cohorts consuming differentiated content on the platform. Factors such as the shift in demand for authentic stories, the success of women-centric narratives, growth of family entertainment, genre-bending shows, and acceptance of characters with multiple layers and shades have ushered in many industry firsts in content.

At ZEE5, we’ve always aimed to inch closer to our viewers with real and authentic storytelling, as we believe that everyone should be exposed to new voices, cultures, and viewpoints. In this pursuit, we have had successful partnerships with some of the country’s leading content creators and have presented shows which have done remarkably well amongst audiences- Abhay, Sunflower, Kaagaz, Rangbaaz, BreakPoint, State of Siege, and Friends Reunion to name a few.

As we step into the fifth year, with immense love from our audiences and support from the creative ecosystem, we are set to ramp up our slate with compelling and diverse stories from heartlands to metros in multiple languages from Tamil, Telugu to Punjabi and Bengali, strengthening ZEE5’s position as India’s biggest homegrown multilingual storyteller offering quality entertainment to our audiences.”
