Reliance group Jio Cinema failed big-time.

Hotstar manged 6-7cr users. Jio or sports 18 group can't manage even 2cr users. they should poach hotstar team or get AWS services... There should be penalty for ruining experience of consumers.

Why does Hotstar need so many PMs?

A quick search on LinkedIn shows there are so many senior leaders for product management at Hotstar. Feels like even more than engineers. What are they building that they need so many senior folks. Also they are still hiring! With Reliance takeover on the cards, I wonder if there are massive layoffs coming up. I hope not.

Guys, a doubt. If Reliance takes 60% of Disney India operations , how does that work? I mean do they now have a common platform (does jiocinema and hotstar get merged?) Does all the rights acquired by Disney India get transferred to Viacom?

Which companies are hiring

Folks who are giving interviews these days, which companies are you interviewing for ? Also what is the method of getting the interview ? Did recruiter reach out to you on LinkedIn, or you applied on a company portal and got the call or did you ask for a referral ?

How are things at Hotstar?

Since Jio has taken up IPL broadcast and also HBO shows, how is the scene at Hotstar? It would be difficult for them to make money through subscription since Jio cinema is free. How is the future look like?
