Mumbai: ZEE Hindustan’s successful IP Hindustan Ki Baat was established last year during the pandemic to walk on the line set by the channel’s core value – ‘State makes the Nation’. The programme focuses on various states and their cities to uphold their achievements and concerns and gives them a national platform.

In these conclaves, industry experts of each city will gather on ZEE Hindustan’s platform as panelists to discuss the various aspects of industrial growth and development of that city and its contribution to the national economy.
Speaking on this development, ZMCL CEO & editor-in-chief, Purushottam Vaishnava said, “ZEE Hindustan is a channel for the people of India and all our endeavor is to give them a voice through our platform. We have always put viewers first, getting the news from the ground and complete information-based news to empower them. Hindustan Ki Baat is one of our initiatives to stay true to our commitment.”
