ZEE5 launches India Utsav in Middle East

ZEE5 Global, among the world’s leading streaming platforms for South Asian content, has partnered with the LuLu Group for India Utsav celebrations.

In the Group’s first-ever simultaneous region-wide launch of its celebration of the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence – Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the “India Utsav” was launched at the same time across the GCC countries on 15 August 2022 at LuLu headquarters in Dubai and Al Wahda Mall in Abu Dhabi.

The festival was inaugurated by H.E. Sunjay Sudhir Indian Ambassador to the UAE, alongside Yusuff Ali, Chairman and Managing Director of LuLu Group International, Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer of ZEE5 Global, the official partners of this promotion, and other top officials and government authorities at LuLu Hypermarket Al Wahda Mall, Abu Dhabi.

Sudhir said: “We are delighted to note that LuLu Group is celebrating the India Utsav across all their stores on the historic occasion of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and I thank LuLu Group for always promoting India and Indian products through their hypermarkets.

“No doubt initiatives such as this will go a long way further promoting the trade ties between India and UAE.”

Yusuff Ali said: “Needless to say, India is very close to my heart and mind emotionally. On the occasion of the 75th Independence Day, I would say that the country is an emerging economic superpower, and the visionary foreign policy of PM Modi has led to stronger India-GCC ties and the UAE is emerging as one of India’s staunch business partners.

“I believe strongly that the LuLu Group can be a key player in this vision of the future for India.”
