Zing to launch youth-centric content for TV
Mumbai: Zing is set to transform television viewing by introducing digital content to traditional TV screens. Aiming to meet the evolving preferences of younger audiences, Zing combines the appeal of digital platforms with conventional television.
As part of this initiative, Zing will launch ‘Short Storiyaan’ and ‘Series Showcase’, featuring popular shows in condensed formats tailored for today’s youth. In collaboration with production houses Natak Pictures and Content Ka Keeda, Zing curates content that reflects the interests of the younger generation.
Starting 2 November, ‘Short Storiyaan’ will showcase award-winning short films known for their storytelling. Meanwhile, ‘Series Showcase’, launching on 17 November, will feature a selection of web series that explore themes of love, friendship, and heartbreak—topics relevant to Gen-Z. These narratives aim to entertain while resonating with the real-life experiences of today’s youth.
Zing & FTA business head Pankaj Balhara said, “The entertainment landscape is evolving rapidly, with digital content gaining significant traction among young audiences. We are thrilled to bring these compelling stories to television screens, offering an experience that aligns with the preferences and lifestyles of today’s generation. While smart TV adoption continues to grow and streaming consumption still is prevalent on smaller screens, Zing bridges this gap by delivering high-quality content to larger television screens. This approach enhances the viewing experience and caters to our diverse audience across metropolitan and regional cities. Also, recognizing that television is inherently a family viewing experience, we have been mindful of the content we present, ensuring it is suitable and enjoyable for all viewers. At Zing, our unwavering commitment to innovation drives us to stay ahead of the curve by expecting and responding to the evolving needs and preferences of our audience. Through the continuous refinement and expansion of our offerings, we ensure that our content consistently exceeds consumer expectations, securing our position at the forefront of the entertainment industry.”

New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
