In an unexpected turn of events amid the rumored merger between Reliance’s JioCinema and Disney’s Hotstar, a Delhi-based developer has acquired the domain name “JioHotstar.” This acquisition comes as speculation mounts about the impending consolidation of the two media giants, which is reportedly nearing completion following necessary regulatory approvals.
The developer, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has penned a letter to executives at Reliance Industries, outlining his motivations for purchasing the domain. He believes that if the merger proceeds, the name “JioHotstar” would be a fitting brand identity for the newly formed entity. In return for transferring the domain to Reliance, he is requesting ₹1 crore to fund his studies at Cambridge University.
Reflecting on his decision, the developer stated, “I thought, ‘If they acquire Hotstar, they might rename it to JioHotstar.com.’ My intention of buying this domain was simple: if this merger happens, I might be able to fulfill my dream of studying at Cambridge.”
The developer was selected for Cambridge’s Accelerate program in 2021 but faced challenges in pursuing his academic ambitions. “I couldn’t crack IIT and always wanted to learn from the best. Coming from a Tier-II college, being selected for this program was an incredibly valuable and practical experience,” he remarked.
He emphasized his desire to pursue a full degree program in entrepreneurship at Cambridge, a dream that has always been out of reach due to financial constraints. “It’s quite expensive,” he noted, underscoring the significant tuition costs associated with higher education.
As the merger between JioCinema and Hotstar appears to be solidifying, the developer is hopeful that his domain purchase will not only aid his personal aspirations but also contribute to a stronger brand presence for the combined platforms. The request for financial support from Reliance represents a unique intersection of technology, media, and personal ambition, reflecting the evolving landscape of India’s digital and educational sectors.
With Reliance Industries at the forefront of India’s media revolution, the developer’s proposal presents an intriguing opportunity for the company to invest in not just a domain, but in the future of a budding entrepreneur.
