Mr . Punit Goenka

My board asked me when I would be able to turn it around. I said I

didn’t know. They asked me how I would do it. I said, “Slowly and

painfully.” So, there is no overnight success.

1995, Mr. Punit Goenka set off on an extraordinary, career-defining journey with

the Essel Conglomerate.

From heading the Music Division of Zee TV to taking charge as Director for a host

of Public Limited Companies:

Essel Infraprojects Ltd.,

Essel Telecom Holdings Ltd.,

Zee Sports Ltd.,

His consistent performance, innovative strategies and an inimitable flair for new

business opportunities saw him move up the corporate ladder. He has also

served as Director of Dish TV India Ltd., (Jan 2007 to April 2008).

ABOUT

team man.

ZEEL

The biggest chunk of my time goes into

programming. At the end of the day, that is

our product. The sales guys can’t sell unless

the ratings are delivered. And I always tell

the programming guys that you are only as

good as your last show.
