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’

Merger ke pehle sab yehi bolte hai..
Merger is always followed by layoffs, it's a given.

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
