The Zoom Studios announces fourth original ‘Mom & Co.’
MUMBAI: The Zoom Studios, the original content arm of zoOm styled by Myntra has announced its fourth original Mom & Co., which will premiere on the Zoom Studios YouTube Channel and zoom on 9 February. The show, produced by The Green light productions and directed by Ashish Ranglani, will celebrate the beautiful relationship between a mother and her son. Veteran actor Neliima Azeem will be marking her digital debut with this 10-episode series.
Speaking on the fourth original, Mom & Co., Times Network president Nikhil Gandhi says, “Our original content has strongly resonated with our audience and this encouragement has driven us to launch our new series, Mom & Co., which captures the complexities and beauty of a mother-son relationship. It’s a universal emotion that is relatable to viewers across geographies and age groups, presented through a compelling and emotional narrative. We are excited and thrilled to present our new show and I am confident that Mom & Co., with its impactful storyline, will reiterate the success of our previous shows.”
Neliima Azeem says, “It is very rare that you see a mother play the lead of a show and that's precisely what attracted me to the story. I am definitely looking forward to the show. Ayush & Ashish have been absolute fabulous to work with. I wish the whole team all the best.”
Ayush Mehra who will be seen playing the role of Neliima’s son says, “This show is very special to me and I feel honoured to be working with such an amazing team and such talented actors. The beautiful mother-son relationship as a concept is untouched in the web world and I am overwhelmed and excited to be a part of it.”
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
