Okay, unrelated but I have heard reliance invests to destroy.
Most of reliance new age investments, major stakes are under extreme cash loss

What is wrong with the world? Why do thinks like these happen?

2 months down, people have forgotten about McKinsey Consultant's death...

The curse of the reels/shorts/notifications every 5 minutes age... 
Nothing lasts for more than 2-3 days 

We're fucked

Reliance Jio will kill Disney+ Hotstar?

Cloud Architect

A masterful stroke by Jio. If the 29/month gives access to all the amazing HBO content that only they have access to, that's incredible value.

Classic Jio move : First get them addicted, then check their pockets.

Software Developer

Any media house, newspaper, sm page, etc?

Is there anything politically unbiased left?

First, they had a layoff.
Some people in the leadership quit.
Middle management people are quitting.
They shut down majority of the dark stores.
They are pivoting their business.
They are out of runway.

Dunzo not in a great position

Business Analyst

There is big layoff 50% in reliance retail - jiomart B2B business.

Reasons
Very poor management, aggressive hiring, creating business that does not exist,  downfall of business.

Compensation -

Asked people to resign & said to serve notice 90 days.
No additional support or benefit.

Layoff in Reliance Retail

40,000Cr to Dream11
20000Cr to GamesKraft
16,000Cr to Deltacorp

This will be a major blow to the online betting industry. All the top companies have taken a major hit. Will be interesting to see how they recover from it. Deltacorp shares already down 18% today!

Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs is likely to send show cause notices to over 40 skill-gaming companies for alleged tax evasion after the Supreme Court stayed a Karnataka High Court judgment

Dream11 parent approaches Bombay High Court challenging GST evasion notice

Should Target Astrology startups as well those are just as dumb-predatory-addicive as online gambling

Founder

Adani switched side ?

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?

Disney India

How much stronger will Reliance get. They're such hard working folks and don't tire away from making more money
