Mumbai: In a landmark initiative in the Hindi general entertainment space, ZEE TV has launched its innovative Zee Mini Series, a format designed to cater to modern audiences’ evolving content preferences with short, impactful narratives. As part of this new venture, ZEE has partnered with Indira IVF, India’s leading chain of specialty fertility clinics, to present Vitromates, a poignant mini-series that sheds light on infertility and fosters open conversations around the subject.
Starting tonight, Vitromates will air on Zee TV, following the journey of Kriti, a woman navigating the complexities of parenthood through IVF after the loss of her husband. At Dr. Tejaswini’s IVF clinic, she forms a close bond with three other women—Maya, Madhuri, and Asha—each facing their unique fertility struggles. Together, they become the “Vitromates,” offering each other support, resilience, and hope. The series explores emotional and societal challenges related to infertility, culminating in a message of optimism and new beginnings.
Indira IVF’s integration into the storyline provides not just visibility but also a powerful platform to raise awareness about infertility. With ZEE’s extensive reach across its television network, OTT platform ZEE5, and social media channels, this collaboration aims to bridge the awareness gap, reduce stigma, and encourage affected individuals to seek treatment.

Through the unique format of the Zee Mini Series, we are excited to present compelling, snackable content that resonates with today’s viewers while creating memorable brand associations for our partners.”
Nitiz Murdia, Co-founder & Managing Director, Indira IVF Group, emphasized, “Vitromates is an attempt to bridge the awareness gap and stigma surrounding infertility, with only 2% of affected individuals seeking treatment. By partnering with ZEE TV, the goal is to promote the understanding that infertility is common and treatable, encouraging people to view it as a medical condition that can be addressed with modern technology.”
