According to CEO Katial the ZEE5 app on the OTT platform has become a 'super app’ by delivering content in 12 Indian languages to being available across the spectrum of devices to launching new product offerings. The languages: English, Hindi, Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Odia and Punjabi.



Dhal has a hard act to follow in Taranjeet Singh who played a key role in setting up the advertising revenue stream and played an instrumental role in framing the architecture of the industry’s first Ad Stack. During his tenure, he helped build and drive the sales and sales support teams of ZEE5 India according to Katial.

He came from a similar role at SHAREit having established teams and revenue across India, South East Asia, Middle East and Africa. In his tenure at ShareIt, he claims there was never a need for ShareIt to advertise as the brand fulfilled an online need to deliver Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for brands & advertisers that are way beyond branding & engagement across a universe of an Indian 400 million user base.

Note:  MUMBAI: "Media conglomerate Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd’s (ZEEL) digital arm ZEE5 continues its growth in user base reaching 76.4 million monthly active users (MAU).
