In a surprising development, guests at the JIOHOTSTAR DOMAIN https://jiohotstar.com/ is currently being redirected to a webpage that tells the tale of two siblings from the United Arab Emirates who manage an educational program for underprivileged kids . Now, the website says, hello! We are Jainam and Jivika – siblings from Dubai, UAE, on a mission to make a difference. Even though we’re just kids, we believe that age is only a number when it comes to spreading kindness and positivity. Our recent journey began during our summer holidays when we left our home in Dubai for 50 unforgettable days in India.
This comes after an app developer from Delhi said earlier this week that they had bought the domain. In a letter published on https://jiohotstar.com, the developer requested that the company pay for his further education in return for the domain. “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 of the app stated.
ECNEWSHUB Tech checked the URL which now shows a letter from the Dubai siblings along with YouTube videos depicting their work.
Here’s the current letter that appeared on the jiohotstar domain webpage
Here’s the previous letter that appeared on the domain webpage
Dear Executive of Reliance Industries,
I am an app developer based in Delhi, currently working on my startup. In early 2023, while scrolling through social media, I came across a news piece stating that Disney+ Hotstar was losing daily active users after losing the IPL streaming license, and Disney is considering selling or merging Hotstar with an Indian competitor.
This led me to hypothesize that, since Sony and Zee were pursuing their own merger, Viacom 18 (owned by Reliance) is the only major player with sufficient resources to acquire Disney+ Hotstar. This reminded me of when Jio acquired the music streaming service Saavn, they rebranded it to JioSaavn, and changed the domain from Saavn.com to JioSaavn.com.
I thought, “If they acquire Hotstar, they might rename it to JioHotstar.com.” I checked for the domain, and it was available. I was excited, as I felt that if this happened, I could fund my goal of studying at Cambridge.
In 2021, I was working on a project that was selected for the Cambridge University Accelerate program. It was a transformational experience for me. I couldn’t crack IIT and always wanted to learn from the best, coming from a Tier-ll college, being selected for this program was an incredibly valuable and practical experience. The startup program taught me many valuable lessons and provided insights into the ins and outs of startups for free, which was amazing. However, it was limited in scope – after all it was just a startup program.
Cambridge also offers a full degree program in entrepreneurship, which l’ve always dreamed of pursuing but could never afford, It’s Cambridge, quite expensive. When I saw this domain become available, I felt things might just fall into place.
My intention of buying this domain was simple: if this merger happens, I might be able to fulfill my dream of studying at Cambridge
Now that the merger has actually happened, and news sources are confirming there will be only one site post-merger (either JioCinema or Hotstar.com), I believe JioHotstar.com would be a very fitting brand name for the merged entity. It maintains the brand equity of both brands and provides a rational transition for the current users of both sites.
To acquire this domain, kindly reach out to mail@jiohotstar.com from your company email address with an official letter attached, stating your authorization to purchase on behalf of Reliance Industries/Viacom18. For a multi-billion dollar company like Reliance, this will be a minor expense, but for me, the sale of this domain would be truly life-changing.
Best Regards,
A dreamer.
