“During the year, your Company leveraged its unique internal strengths and focused on strengthening its core to build a strong foundation. For us at ‘Z’, growth does not come from mere expansion. It is a result of strategic adjustments, cost control, optimising resources effectively and capitalising on emerging opportunities. In the year gone by, your Company made concerted efforts in all these areas to build a healthy growth momentum. This helped us deliver a stable and positive performance, benefiting you – our esteemed shareholders,” Zee Entertainment CEO Punit Goenka said in the annual report.
Goenka further added, “The Indian media and entertainment sector grew modestly during the year. While the new-age media sector is growing at a good pace, other sectors such as television, print and radio are yet to fully reach pre-pandemic levels. During the financial year, the advertising environment in linear TV remained soft as FMCG brands and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands cut spends. The New Tariff Order (NTO) 3.0 helped partially mitigate the softness in ad revenues with subscription growth in line with inflation. Despite these challenges, your Company remained resilient, improving business fundamentals and strategic initiatives, and maintaining its core principles of frugality, customisation and quality content.”
