Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) shares soared more than 7 per cent on Tuesday after Punit Goenka stepped down as the Managing Director of the company. The firm’s shares surged ahead on the stock exchanges after the company informed about the changes a day earlier.

In a regulatory filing, the firm on Monday said, “The Board has accepted the resignation of Punit Goenka as Managing Director of the company and appointed him as CEO.” Following this announcement, on Tuesday, the company’s shares traded at Rs 123.55 apiece around 2 PM, climbing almost 7 per cent in the day.

The decision made by the firm for Goenka to focus solely on his role as the CEO has been made to help him oversee the operational responsibilities assigned to him by the board.

Goenka’s resignation as the MD from the company became effective after business hours ended on November 18, and he was chosen as the CEO the same day.

Addressing the change in the company statement, Goenka said, "In order to ensure we maintain a sharp focus on achieving our targeted aspirations, the core businesses require dedicated time and energy which can only be achieved in an operational capacity. In the long-term interest of the Company and all its stakeholders, I have approached the Board with a request to attain operational focus as the CEO."
