Zee Media financial resolutions put to e-voting by shareholders
MUMBAI: It’s got clout in the right places. Now the Subhash Chandra-founded Zee Media is beefing itself financially. At a recent board meeting, Zee Media announced two significant financial resolutions aimed at enhancing its capital structure and investor participation.
The company has put the resolutions to vote by its shareholders through postal ballot or e-voting from 23 January 2025.
The company has approved the issuance of securities amounting to a maximum of Rs 400 crore, or its equivalent in foreign currencies. This move is in compliance with the Companies Act of 2013 and applicable regulations including those of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The board is authorised to raise funds through equity shares, preference shares, and other eligible securities via several methods such as private placements and qualified institutional placements. The issuance may be conducted in multiple tranches and will not exceed the specified limit.
Additionally, the board has been empowered to determine the terms of issuance, including pricing, timing, and the class of investors targeted for the securities.
Zee Media also resolved to increase the aggregate limit for investments by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to 49 per cent of the paid-up equity share capital, on a fully diluted basis. This increase is part of a broader strategy to attract foreign investments and enhance liquidity in the company’s shares, while adhering to the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations.
The board will be responsible for executing necessary acts, deeds, and documents to implement this resolution and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
These resolutions signify Zee Media’s commitment to strengthen its financial framework while potentially boosting growth through increased foreign investments and capital raise initiatives.

India’s AI Future Gets a Neural Kick-Off in Delhi
NDTV IND.AI Summit on 18 Feb 2026 to debate governance, ethics, and India’s big-tech ambitions.
MUMBAI: Artificial intelligence is about to get a very Delhi welcome smart, spirited, and ready to out-think the room. On 18 February 2026, New Delhi plays host to the inaugural NDTV IND.AI Summit, a high-stakes pow-wow that promises to put India’s AI ambitions under the brightest spotlight yet. Billed as a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is already rewiring the nation’s economy, policy playbook, and strategic dreams, the one-day event is curated by NDTV in partnership with the Startup Policy Forum. At its core lies a single, sharp question: how do you unleash AI’s transformative power while keeping trust, equity, and sanity intact?
The guest list reads like a who’s-who of global AI heavyweights. Former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak headlines a special session on AI in governance, sharing hard-won lessons on how the technology is reshaping statecraft and decision-making. Joining the fray are OpenAI’s Chris Lehane, UC Berkeley’s AI safety pioneer Stuart Russell, and Google’s James Manyika, voices that will anchor India firmly in the international conversation on accountability, risk, and cross-border cooperation.
Beyond the policy wonks, the Summit rolls up its sleeves for real-world impact. General Catalyst’s Hemant Taneja and other top-tier investors will unpack how AI is redrawing the rules of capital, innovation, and long-term value creation. Separate tracks will tackle AI’s footprint in workplaces, large-scale adoption, productivity shifts, evolving job roles, and organisational culture. India’s digital public infrastructure, often hailed as a global blueprint for inclusive tech gets its own spotlight, alongside a dedicated segment on AI sovereignty: what does true national control look like in a borderless tech universe?
NDTV CEO and editor-in-chief Rahul Kanwal framed the event’s bigger picture, “The IND.AI Summit is about the kind of future we are choosing to build. India has the scale, the talent, and the moral imagination to shape how AI serves society and this Summit is our way of bringing the most credible voices together to define that direction.”
In a world where AI chatter can feel abstract, the New Delhi gathering aims to ground the debate in India’s own story, one that ties cutting-edge innovation to public purpose, domestic priorities to global influence, and raw ambition to responsible stewardship. Whether you’re an algorithm enthusiast or just mildly curious about tomorrow’s headlines, this Summit is India signalling it’s not just catching the AI wave, it intends to help steer it.
