India’s Zee Chief Punit Goenka to Work Directly With Broadcast Revenue Team After Unsuccessful Sony Merger
Punit Goenka, MD and CEO of Indian media giant Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd, will now work directly with the revenue department of the company’s broadcast business.
Ashish Sehgal, chief growth officer, advertisement revenue, will now directly report into Goenka. Rahul Johri, who led the revenue and monetization vertical, has stepped down after a three-year stint with Zee. Sehgal will now work closely with Goenka, in order to maximize value for advertisers, Zee said. Those who used to previously report to Johri, will now report into the office of Goenka.
“In line with the strategic approach undertaken by the MD and CEO, this announcement is the first step towards streamlining the organization, in order to optimize the resource allocation and enhance productivity,” Zee said in a statement.
The move comes after Sony Group Corporation recently ended its more than two-year attempt to merge its TV and streaming businesses in India with Zee.
“The management of the company, under the leadership of Mr. Goenka, will continue to take all the required steps that are aimed towards enhancing the performance of the company and most above, in the interest of its esteemed shareholders. The MD & CEO will continue to implement the required measures to reduce the costs, optimize the resources and most above, sharpen the focus of the organization towards enhanced levels of quality,” Zee said.
Goenka said: “With his rich expertise and experience, Rahul has added immense value to the organization. I wish him all the success in his future endeavors. I am most certain that with his passion towards the sports and media business; he will continue to contribute towards the industry at large. I also look forward to working closely with Ashish and team, with an aim to drive higher growth in the advertisement revenue segment, as the linear business landscape unlocks more growth opportunities.”

The 30-year-old man will remain on bail until Sept. 30, pending further inquiries.

“The man, who is not known to the victim, was assessed as not being fit for interview,” police said in a statement.
The boy is in stable condition, after reportedly suffering a broken arm and pelvis.
He was saved from the crocodile by Tracey Johnson, the wife of the zoo’s owner.

“I know Tracey very well and she’s a lovely lady and it’s nothing more than I’d expect from her,” a local told BBC News. “She’d always put her own life at risk to save someone else. She’s an extraordinary lady and very brave.
The villager added that Johnson put herself in “immense danger” during the rescue.
The owners said their tropical house would remain closed until further notice.

US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his comments on Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, saying she asked him “over and over” for a photo when the pair met at the G7 summit in France earlier this week.

Following the summit, Trump told an Italian journalist that he “felt sorry for Meloni” after she “begged me to take a picture with her”.
Meloni hit back in a video posted to social media, branding Trump’s claims as “completely made up” and insisting that neither she nor Italy begs anyone for anything.
The once close pair’s relationship has grown increasingly fractious in recent months, particularly since Rome refused to provide the US support for its operations in Iran and after Meloni defended Pope Leo XIV, who was criticised by the Trump administration over his remarks on the war and the US’s immigration policies.
“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on Saturday. “She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon”.
“Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!!!” Trump added.
