ZOOM was commissioned by the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) for the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008, an overnight sensation viewed by hundreds of millions worldwide. Over the years, the association grew deeper. By 2010, the transition to High Definition was complete. That same year, we also delivered the IPL’s first and only 3D telecast.
It grew into an unparalleled global phenomenon, and ZOOM scaled alongside the IPL—by 2016 deploying eight full broadcast kits simultaneously, an unmatched single-sport broadcast operation, featuring 40+ HD camera channels in each kit. This included 3x and 6x SSM, UltraMotion, RF and specialist cameras, Dolby 5.1 audio, extensive replay systems, and high-capacity hybrid routing supported by a fail-safe communications backbone. Eventually, the IPL surpassed its own high bar.
From 2023 onwards, IPL transitioned to ten kits in 4K across twelve venues for a period of just under three months, every season. The combined Host Broadcast includes 400 Camera Channels, 170 4K long lenses, ten Atmos-compliant Sound Consoles, seventy XT-Via 12-Channel Replay Servers, ten 12G Hybrid Routers sizing up to 288×288, ten large Intercom Systems, over one hundred and twenty thousand metres of SMPTE Cabling, twenty RF Links, and much more.
We have delivered World Feed OB kits for Women’s and Men’s Bilateral Cricket over decades in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the UAE, the West Indies, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Our kits, designed for unilateral coverage, have travelled to New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom. From World Feed OB for BCCI Internationals and Domestic Cricket to servicing unilaterals for Sony, multiple kits for ICC events, the Champions League T20, and more, ZOOM’s legacy is deeply woven into the global broadcast history of the game.
ZOOM has served as the exclusive Host Broadcast facilities provider for India’s most prestigious regional league, the Tamil Nadu Premier League, since its inaugural season in 2016 up until the 2025 season.
IGBS, the Host Broadcaster, and ZOOM delivered 13 kits across sports—including Football, Basketball, Rugby 7s, Boxing, Fencing, Kabaddi, and more—along with a hundred tonnes of broadcast equipment and 120 engineers across Jakarta and Bandung. The result was flawless: two weeks of live coverage of Asia’s largest multi-sport event.
The XIX Commonwealth Games in Delhi was home ground for ZOOM. Thirteen venues, flypacks for twenty-five fields of play, three hundred and fifty Camera Channels, one hundred EVS replay servers, and over 150 box lenses from ZOOM to SIS Live, the designated HB service provider. In addition, ZOOM secured the services of twelve hundred broadcast professionals from across the globe, managed HB logistics, multiple production and project offices, hotel rooms exceeding one thousand, and a fleet of over two hundred vehicles—enabling the flawless execution of India’s most complex multi-sport broadcast operation to date.
The most popular and widely watched sport on planet Earth remains football. The accomplishments of an OB company are incomplete without its cameras and lenses having chased the ball across trimmed grass. From 2010 onwards, when our broadcast infrastructure populated four venues in South Africa for the FIFA World Cup, ZOOM kits have pursued the ball in global-level football matches alongside international stars, covering these events in totality. Among them are the FIFA U-17 Men’s World Cup across six venues with six kits and four crews in 2017; the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in 2022 across several venues through dedicated crews and kits. And then there also have also been numerous AFC events in India over the past several years, each of which were fully covered by ZOOM’s OB kits and crews.
From 2018 onwards, ZOOM has been entrusted, initially by IMG-R and subsequently by RISE, to deliver turnkey OB facilities and all engineering crews for the Indian Super League, the country’s premier Football league. The initial five-month season expanded to nine months in 2024–25 and evolved from on-premise production to REMI from the 2023–24 season.
For two consecutive seasons beginning 2017, ZOOM was the exclusive OB provider for the five-month I-League football season. Six kits and four crews across 12 venues, from Shillong to Srinagar and Aizawl to Kozhikode, delivered consistent, high-quality live coverage across the diverse geography of India.
After a long and arduous process of competing with global challengers, ZOOM was eventually chosen as the exclusive production and facilities partner for BoxNation—England’s first television channel devoted exclusively to Boxing—in October 2011. For the next five years, we produced over two hundred fights across the United Kingdom and Europe, including iconic big prize-money fights such as Haye vs Chisora at the famed 40,000-seat Upton Park Stadium.
Launched in 2017 across Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai, the Ultimate Table Tennis League rapidly established itself as a high-energy competition, with broadcast coverage by ZOOM. Building on an even more successful second season, the league expanded steadily in scale and ambition in the years that followed, with ZOOM continuing to power its broadcasts—supporting the vision of nurturing world-class, Olympic-level Table Tennis talent from India.
For the three seasons of IPTL in India, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, and the UAE, ZOOM was the chosen production and OB company. We were also stakeholders in the Indian team, INDIAN ACES, which featured the global tennis icon Roger Federer.
ZOOM has delivered live broadcast coverages of defining news events in India. From a live four-way simulcast of General Musharraf’s visit to Agra in 2001 to rapid-response deployments, ZOOM has been a trusted partner to multiple news networks during breaking news situations. Across elections during the past decade and a half, news networks—Times Now, NDTV, CNN-IBN, and TV Today…have counted on ZOOM.
ZOOM’s specialist engineers and ahead-of-the-times broadcast infrastructure have electrified a sweeping range of celebrated entertainment properties, award ceremonies, and live events in India and beyond. These include Bollywood and Fashion events, Award Shows and Reality Shows, Game Shows and Concerts—Filmfare, Femina, Stardust, Gladrags, Lakmé Fashion Week, the CNN-IBN Citizen Journalist Awards, NDTV Awards, Bigg Boss, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Survivor, Indian Idol, and many, many more. We have been the preferred broadcast partner for covering concerts of eminent international artists touring India. These include Guns N’ Roses, Santana, Metallica, Katy Perry, Bryan Adams, Korn, Sting, and of course… Zubin Mehta.
