Parekh, who currently serves as business head at the company, will now spearhead the next phase of growth, with a focus on expanding Zee Music’s footprint across platforms and audiences.

During his tenure at Warner, Parekh played a central role in strengthening the company’s regional presence. He led the acquisition and integration of platforms such as Divo TV, E-Positive, SkillBox and Global Music Junction, helping expand its reach across digital media, regional content, artist management and live entertainment.
Before Warner, Parekh spent over a decade with Bigtree Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., where he rose through the ranks across finance roles, eventually serving as associate vice president finance.
His early career included stints in audit and accounting, building a solid foundation that has underpinned his leadership journey in the music and media business.
