Zee Entertainment- What Lies Ahead?

By Nitin Mangal

  • We have been covering Zee Entertainment Enterprises (Z IN) during the entire merger saga and had already highlighted several financial and governance issues with the entire group.
  • The $10 bn merger deal with Sony has now been terminated but it is not a surprise to us, considering the events that were unraveled in the last two years.
  • But where does ZEEL go from here is a question that lacks some clarity. There are uncertainties looming around and ZEEL can face further brunt.
