Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the Q2 FY'27 Earnings Conference Call of Zee
Entertainment Enterprises Limited. As a reminder, all participant lines will be in the listen only
mode and there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions after the presentation
concludes. I now hand the conference over to Mr. Ankit Arora, Head of Investor Relations from
Zee. Thank you and over to you, Mr. Ankit.
Ankit Arora: Thanks, Rutuja. Hello, everyone. Good evening. Welcome to our Q2 FY'27 earnings discussion.
We hope you have had an opportunity to review the results. We have with us today our CEO,
Mr. Punit Goenka along with senior management team. We will start with the opening remarks
from Mr. Goenka, followed by commentary on operating and financial performance by Mr.
Mukund Galgali, our Deputy CEO and CFO and subsequently, we'll open the floor for question-
and-answer session.
Before we get started, I would like to remind everyone that some of the statements made or
discussed on today's conference call will be forward-looking in nature and must be viewed in
conjunction with risks and uncertainties we face. The company does not undertake to update
any of these forward-looking statements publicly. With that said, I will now hand the call over
to PG for his remarks. Thank you, and over to you, PG.
Punit Goenka: Thank you, Ankit. Good evening, everyone. Hope you and your families are enjoying the festive
season. Diwali is a few days away, but let me take this opportunity to wish each one of you and
your lovely families in advance a very happy and prosperous Diwali and a great year ahead.
Thank you for joining me and my team this evening for a conversation on the quarter gone by.
As always, I will throw some light on the macro level strategic growth points, while the finer
points pertaining to the financial and operational aspects will be touched upon by the domain
expert, our CFO, in the room.
For your company, the second quarter of this financial year was one of growth, strategic future-
centric investments and creative decisions focused towards achieving consumer delight. We
witnessed a 13% growth in our operating revenues year-on-year. Despite the volatile
geopolitical environment and macroeconomic headwinds that led to a subdued sentiment,
your company's entrepreneurial spirit, pioneering vision and prudent approach enabled it to
stay ahead of the curve.
The revenue growth largely stems from a business that is a result of the key future-centric
investment decisions as you all might have guessed our sports business. The steps taken in this
business have led to strategic gains across the board especially for the digital business.
So let me kick off, this preamble with some brief growth-led points about the sports business.
I'm hoping that you all enjoyed the action of FIFA World Cup with your friends and families on
ZEE5 and Unite8 Sports. Our strategic and timely investment in this property, which I must
mention should be viewed with a long-term lens, has not just enhanced the consumer delight
quotient by many levels, but has also contributed significantly to the growth of our digital
business.

The blend of live sports action and well-curated pre- and post-match programming kept the
fans engaged across our linear and digital platforms. But from a larger strategic lens, the step
has enabled us to welcome a new set of viewers to our platform that has provided a strong
foundation for the overall sports business, especially the newly launched Unite8 Sports
channels, a foundation that gave us the confidence to further strengthen the sports offering.
As you all must have noted, we also acquired the rights to premium global football properties
like Bundesliga and Serie A, offering a comprehensive and quality sports content experience to
the fans across our platforms. Having said that, I must reiterate, be it in the sports business or
for that matter, any vertical across the company, every decision is and will always be prudent
in nature, one that enables it to realize a long-term vision and a sharp focus on profitability.
Speaking of which, let me steer you all to our digital business. In order to offer a comprehensive
entertainment proposition to our users, ZEE5 unveiled a multilingual content slate during the
quarter. Our viewers have embraced and appreciated this new slate, leading to enhanced levels
of engagement and time spent. I'm glad to share that ZEE5's revenues doubled year-on-year,
charting a strong growth trajectory.
Multilingual entertainment offerings and global sports content have led to a healthy gain in the
overall subscription revenue with a 30% increase year-on-year. I am more certain that ZEE5 is
now well poised for growth levers for us as we transform ourselves into the future-centric
company, offering world-class content backed by state-of-the-art technology to garner
maximum revenue share of the attention economy.
To achieve this, we are embracing technology-led innovations across the business to further
enhance operational efficiencies and enrich consumer experience. I firmly believe that for a
company that has content at its core, it is imperative to present a personalized and seamless
experience to its consumers, and it is technology that will play this pivotal role in achieving this.
We are constantly strengthening our teams across various verticals within the company by on-
boarding the best talent in the realm of techn
