Innovative Streaming Platform Emerges in India, Uniting JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar

JioCinema, the streaming platform by Viacom18, a major conglomerate in India owned by Reliance and Star India group, has announced a merger of streaming services with Disney+ Hotstar, a major competitor in India. The new service, JioHotstar, will combine content from both platforms.

It also includes staple content like the popular cricket tournament IPL, now available through a subscription service instead of the previous ad-supported free viewing option.
