ABOUT ESSEL GROUP

Essel Group is among India's most prominent business houses with a diverse portfolio of assets

in media, packaging, entertainment, technology-enabled services, infrastructure development

and education. The Group started business in 1976 with a commodity trading and export firm,

Rama Associates Limited, and has since then metamorphosed into a conglomerate that is a

symbol of the ingenuity and power of Indian entrepreneurship, with worldwide operations and a

workforce of nearly 8,000 dedicated employees.

About ZEEL's New Brand Positioning - Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - The World is My Family:

BACKGROUND:Launched in 1992, Brand ZEE has earned a global recognition in its reign over the M & E

industry for the past 20 years. Being a global brand, ZEEL entertains over 730+ million viewers

across the world. ZEEL also enjoys a presence in 169 countries, offering a rich bouquet of 33

channels in India, and 35 dedicated channels for the international markets. In this journey of 20

years, Brand ZEE has not just formed a Bfamily of millions of viewers, but has also enriched the

lives of all the internal as well as external stakeholders, including the shareholders, bankers,

investors, employees and business partners. ZEEL considers each one of these stakeholders,

as Family and aims at making the entire World a part of this Family.

Inspired with this thought, "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” – The World is my Family, is the new

positioning for Brand ZEE.

ABOUT THE NEW VISUAL IDENTITY:

Page 3: ZEEL

THE TYPEFACE:In order to maintain a balance, a blend of traditional and modern approach reflects in the visual

identity (the horizontal Devnagri line over a word + the modern 'Trojan Pro' font).  It is reflective

of ZEEL's Indian heritage as well as its contemporary outlook.

THE DANDS:On either side of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbaikam' amplify the authentic Vedic origin of the ideology.

The Dands used at the beginning and end of a sentence also signify completeness ,

emphasizing that when everyone lives by this ideology the world will be complete.

THE TILAK / BINDU:A prominent aspect of the visual identity, is the Red Bindu.  This ritual mark on the forehead

- a sign of a blessing or a greeting, usually made out of a red vermilion paste (kumkum), applied

between the brows, is considered as the symbol of latent wisdom and most importantly it used

when welcoming another into your home.

THE ESSENCE:

The concept is originated in the Maha Upanishad in shloka describing the behavior of great men who are elevated to bramhistithi of spiritual realm.

Only small men discriminate saying: One is a relative; the other is a stranger. For those who live magnanimously the entire world constitutes but a family.

RELEVANCE TO THE MODERN WORLD:

In the rapidly connecting world of today, wherein the ecosystem is evolving at a faster pace, the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam holds its relevance with the growing need to appreciate each other's ways, beliefs and culture.

The key emphasis is on: - Need for Peace- Need for Tolerance- Need for Non - Discrimination

RELEVANCE TO ZEEL:ZEEL being a global entertainment conglomerate, interacting with diverse cultures and

communities across the world, aiming to reach 1.2 billion viewers, needed a global brand

Page 4: ZEEL

statement, which starkly differentiates itself from the other global media brands and at the same

establishes a strong connect.

This document elaborates the integration of this brand positioning in our company's ethos, and

also narrates the brand identity guidelines. Being a member of the ZEEL Family, you are

responsible to contribute to the strength of this global brand, and ensure the adherence of the

guidelines.

BRAND VALUES OF ZEE:Respect:

Employee's approach towards the World outside should be filled with immense Respect and

Gratitude. Being a part of the ZEEL Family, and especially bearing the strong positioning

message of welcoming the entire world into one Family, the employee being the most strongest

stakeholder of the brand, should be polite, respectful and humble in every single interaction with

the outside world. Employee's actions and words should resonate the brand's philosophy.

Generosity:

Other important aspect, which reflects Brand ZEE's persona, is being extremely generous.

Generosity should not be merely in terms of one's monetary support to the underprivileged side

of the world, but also in terms of extending help and support in every aspect. Be it, helping a

junior at work to grow and progress in the organization, or offering a support to the partners on

board to execute a smooth work execution, generosity should reflect in every aspect of the

Employee's interaction.

Compassion:

Compassionate approach is another important element of Brand ZEE's positioning message.

Empathizing a colleague at work, and extending the required levels of sympathy, consideration,

concern or kindness, should also be one of the very important aspect in each employee's

approach at work. Not just in terms of an employee's interactions with employees at work, but

also in terms of the dialogues with the outside world, compassion should be a strong element.

Sharing:

As it is rightly said, that knowledge grows by sharing and shrinks if it is not; Sharing becomes

an equally important aspect in carrying the brand's message ahead. One has to share one's

knowledge and thoughts with the team to enhance the overall output and performance, and to

also equally empower the world around. Sharing and caring turn out to be extremely important

elements for an employee's approach towards the world, and wonderfully reflect Brand ZEE's

noble message.

Support:

One has to be extremely supportive in nature, and should extend help to all fellow colleagues

and business partners at work, ensuring a synergized work atmosphere, with higher productivity

and enhanced results. Supporting one's team-member in his/her weakness area, ensures a

learning curve and helps in further strengthening that area of work. Hence, Support also

becomes an integral part of the brand's message and should be incorporated in every aspect of

one's interaction.

Loyalty:

Last but definitely not the least, Loyalty towards your own brand is the most important element

in generating a strong sense of ownership and dedication. One has to be extremely loyal to the

Page 5: ZEEL

brand, and at the same time equally responsible enough to carry Brand ZEE's rich legacy

ahead, and propagating it to the world outside.

HISTORYABOUT US

The year 1992 ushered in an upheaval of sorts in the country. With the political, social and

economic landscape changing facades, an upsurge in the world of media and entertainment was

waiting to burst open. An upsurge that would resculpt social drifts and impart new meaning to

TV viewing in India. Subhash Chandra, one of India's leading entrepreneurs, who sought to

create a revolution by facilitating the convergence of media and communication with a mirror

into the common man's life and ways, created Zee Telefilms Limited in October 1992. This

enterprise was to act as the chief content provider for Zee TV - India's first Hindi satellite

channel. Zee Telefilms Limited (ZTL) is now known as Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited

(ZEEL).

Very early in the aftermath of launching ZTL, Subhash Chandra entered into a joint venture with

the STAR group of companies. This pact was to augment television broadcasting in India and

deliver higher quality of programming content. In another development around the same time,

media mogul, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp Limited acquired the rights to distribute STAR's

satellite TV content. This made News Corp a de facto partner of ZEEL. To strengthen their

network further, ZEEL and News Corp co-founded Siticable, a leading cable MSO. In March

2000 however, ZEEL bought News Corp's stake in both the broadcasting business and

Siticable.

ZEEL, over the years has built a diverse portfolio of leading businesses and has driven

initiatives that increase efficiency at every juncture of development. ZEEL has established a

very strong consumer connect and is governed by a set of values that holds them in good stead

in the face of changing viewer environments.
