After Sony Corporation terminated the merger agreement with Zee Entertainment, ZEEL announced a strategic realignment of its revenue vertical. The move is directly led by the Managing Director and CEO, with a focus on improving performance and efficiency.
Since 2020, ZEEL's performance has faced challenges attributed to industry-wide macro slowdown, transitory issues, and management bandwidth constraints due to merger activities. The company also laid off 50% of its staff at its Bengaluru-based Technology and Innovation Centre in March.
Following the termination of the merger deal, ZEEL sought a termination fee of USD 90 million from Sony Group for calling off the USD 10-billion merger deal. The termination fee is being sought from Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) and Bangla Entertainment (BEPL).

By considering various fundraising routes and focusing on operational efficiency, Zee Entertainment aims to navigate the fallout from the terminated merger and enhance its performance in the dynamic media landscape.
