Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited’s OTT platform Zee5 completed one year on Thursday. According to Tarun Katial, CEO at Zee5, it has the right mix of content, technology and brand associations that has kept the digital entertainment platform stay ahead of competition.

“We have got everyone from Sunny Leon hie, to Emraan Hashmi, Kunal Kemmu to now Arjun Rampal and many more debuts on digital with us. Since it is our first year, the star cast has helped us to draw attention.
