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.

Exact same feelings. I saw a recent LinkedIn post and had the same questions in mind.
