Likely. As team will be merged with jio cinema.
There must be redundancy if two were to be merged
From a colleague that recently moved from Hotstar
‘No, the combined entity is the largest OTT in the country with way more work that just what Jio’s current team can manage. Ad sales, and some portion of tech will continue to be important to the merged entity’
Let’s see how this goes
Merger ke pehle sab yehi bolte hai..
Merger is always followed by layoffs, it's a given.
Source: me , went through a similar merger in the same industry. Fortunately I was not laid off but our counterparts were..
It totally depends on mood of higher management .
Saavn now exists as jiosaavn, deal happened in 2018
There was a layoff at Disney-ESPN when they merged with star India in 2018. It can follow a similar pattern.
Most likely all mergers end in layoffs
Any info on hotstar/jiocinema organization structure? Will there be immediate layoffs?
Build vs Buy.
Looks like @Jiocinema is starting with replacing @hotstar in the Indian OTT market.
Opinions?
