An incident has taken place in India which has created a lot of confusion for the country’s biggest entertainment platform.
Now there is a new twist in the Jio Hotstar drama. A brother and sister from Dubai are claiming that they bought the domain from a developer.
A Delhi-based developer angered Reliance Industries by buying this domain. He sold the domain to children Jainam and Jeevika from Dubai.
A web developer from Delhi bought jiohotstar.com long before the merger of JioCinema and Hotstar.
The case arose out of a letter submitted to jiohotstar.com. JioHotstar.com was the natural name after the merger of Disney Plus Hotstar and Reliance Industries subsidiary Viacom 18. A web developer from Delhi had already bought this domain after sensing the commitment of these two platforms.
Has been some speculation about whether you two are just kids trying to make a quick profit or if you’re genuinely passionate about your entrepreneurial endeavor. What would you say to that?
Jainam: We are definitely passionate about what we do! We run our own YouTube channel where we share toy and game reviews, and we started the Jainam Jeevika Foundation to help kids in need. This domain purchase was just another step for us in the business world we’re trying to build.
Jeevika: Exactly! Our age does not define our capability. We believe in exploring opportunities and learning from this experience, regardless of the reactions it brings.
Interviewer: Interesting perspective! If Reliance were to reach out to you with a settlement or a collaboration opportunity, what would your response be?
Jainam: We would definitely consider it! Collaborating with such a big name in the entertainment industry would be an amazing learning opportunity for us. We are open to discussions—who wouldn’t be?
Jeevika: Yes, and we see it as a chance to do something creative together rather than just a transaction. We would love to be a part of something bigger.
Interviewer: Lastly, what’s next for you both following this situation?
Jainam: We’re planning to continue growing our YouTube channel and working on our foundation. This incident has taught us a lot about business, and we want to keep learning and applying that knowledge.
Jeevika: And who knows? Maybe we’ll find more innovative avenues to explore. We’re excited about the future and what it holds for us!
Interviewer: Thank you, Jainam and Jeevika, for sharing your insights. It will be interesting to see how this story develops!
Jainam and Jeevika: Thank you for having us!
