According to a press release, Goel has been appointed by Zee Entertainment Enterprises as Executive Vice President – Marketing, New Initiatives, and will work closely with the Bullet Microdrama app team as part of this larger mandate. The appointment comes as the platform sharpens its focus on building a strong market position in the short-format, mobile-first storytelling category.

Goel brings more than a decade of experience in scaling startups and digital platforms, with expertise in agile and insight-driven marketing strategies. In his new role, he will lead marketing and growth initiatives for the Bullet Microdrama app, focusing on expanding the platform’s audience base, strengthening brand visibility and driving large-scale user acquisition.

Commenting on the development, Goel said the microdrama category is currently at a major turning point globally, creating an opportunity to shape new audience habits and storytelling formats in India. He added that he aims to build Bullet into a strong consumer brand and establish it as a daily entertainment destination for digital-first audiences.

Azim Lalani, co-founder of Bullet, said the company is excited to welcome Goel to the leadership team at a time when the microdrama format is evolving rapidly. He noted that the category requires continuous experimentation, speed and a strong understanding of audience behaviour, areas where Goel’s experience is expected to play an important role.

Lalani further said Goel’s background in scaling new-age digital platforms would help the company accelerate growth, improve market visibility and contribute to building the microdrama ecosystem in India.

Apart from his responsibilities at Bullet Microdrama app, Goel will also oversee marketing for other new initiatives within Zee’s portfolio, including Hipi, as part of his broader role at the company.
