Zee Entertainment Enterprises had originally ventured into music distribution with Zee Records. Its first movie was
Gadar: Ek Prem Katha. Later Zee Records Home Video was established. During the launch of the company in 2014, Punit Goenka, CEO and
Managing Director of Zee Music Company, the parent company of Zee Music Company said- "the music industry is a large playing field and there is scope to explore the opportunity in this market. Technology has also emerged as a key transformer of the music industry and digital revenues are driving growth in the market. Since we are a content company, it is essential to own intellectual property as content is the king." In 2022, Zee Music Company terminated its licensing contract with music streaming service
Gaana, thus making affected albums unavailable for streaming. On 21 March 2023, all albums distributed by Zee Music Company were removed from
Spotify after negotiations for renewal of their licensing agreements failed. == Controversy ==
