Zee back with second edition of ‘Zee Leadership series’
MUMBAI: Zee Entertainment Enterprises (Zeel) has announced the second edition of its intellectual property – Zee Leadership series. The event which will be held on 19 September at Sahara Star Hotel in Mumbai will witness attendance from over 400 CXOs heading India’s top companies.
The thought of Zee leadership series is to have an intellectually stimulating event for cross industry leaders to discuss, debate and reflect on pertinent issues of Global importance. Each year it would have a theme that would reflect the sentiments of the economic world and the speakers are selected accordingly.
Zeel head – corporate brand Roland Landers believes that Zee considers each one of stakeholders as family and aims at making the entire world a part of this family. “Zee Corporate Brand has not just formed a family of millions of loyal viewers, but has also enriched the lives of its internal and external stakeholders. Inspired with this thought, Zee has incorporated its brand positioning of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The World is my Family.”
He further added, “As Zee Corporate Brand marches ahead to achieve its envisioned goals, of being in the top 100 of the Global League table and of establishing itself amongst the top global media brands, it also aims at enhancing value for its business by establishing intellectual properties, based on the network’s core brand value drivers – Pioneering, Prudent and Predictable.”
This year, the two renowned keynote speakers for the Zee Leadership Series are Alan Krueger and Divya Narendra.
Alan Krueger is one of the most-respected and thoughtful economists. He served as chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) and a member of his Cabinet – roles that recruit from the upper echelon of the nation’s best and brightest. From 1994–1995, he also served as the chief economist at the Department of Labour in the US Government. In his session, Krueger will share his insights on world economy with relation to corporate India’s contribution, and will also touch upon the key areas of improvement.
In the other session, Divya Narendra, an American businessman, will share his views on the innovation and creativity expected in the current digital era. Narendra is the CEO and co-founder of SumZero along with his Harvard classmate Aalap Mahadevia. He also co-founded HarvardConnection (later renamed ConnectU) with Harvard University classmates Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss.
