Incorporated in 2005 as a joint venture between Essel Group and Bhaskar Group—with Bhaskar exiting in 2012 making it a subsidiary of Zee Media Corporation Limited—DMCL operates primarily in India from its headquarters at 11th Floor, Tower 3, India Bulls Finance Centre, Senapati Bapat Marg, Elphinstone, Mumbai.
