Zee announces more layoffs as business takes a hit after failed Sony merger

Mumbai: Zee Entertainment has asked several employees to leave as part of an ongoing restructuring exercise that began last year, according to people aware of the matter.

Sources said the latest round of downsizing is a continuation of the rationalisation programme initiated in April 2024 to streamline operations and align the organisation with updated business priorities following the collapse of the merger deal with Sony Pictures Networks India.

Around 200 people are understood to be affected, with a significant portion comprising consultants rather than full-time staff.
