The new platforms will take the global news brand into live events, bringing leaders together for discussions on AI, defence and diplomacy while creating a separate forum covering luxury, travel, people and experiences from across the world. Zee Media CEO Raktim Das on Wednesday announced that the company will launch WION World Conferences and WION Luxe as WION marks its 10th anniversary.
Zee Media CEO Das announced the expansion at the WION Iconic Tourism Summit and Awards 2026 at ITC Maurya in New Delhi.
Zee Media CEO Das said the two launches would take WION’s World Is One motto beyond television and digital news, creating platforms where people and institutions from different countries can meet and exchange ideas. Zee Media CEO Das said the network is being built “not just as a news network, but as a global platform for ideas, dialogue and action. With conflicts and geopolitical tensions affecting relations between countries, he said understanding people across borders had become more important.
WION World Conferences will bring policymakers, business leaders, innovators and other voices from across countries onto one platform. The events will cover technology, artificial intelligence, sustainability, tourism, trade, defence, diplomacy and global leadership. The announcement comes as WION completes a decade. He linked WION’s World Is One philosophy to Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, the ancient Indian idea that the world is one family.
