Delhi developer squats on Jiohotstar.com and demands over Rs 1 crore, Jio says legal action coming soon

A Delhi-based app developer purchased the domain JioHotstar.com, hoping to sell it to Reliance as part of the anticipated merger between Star India (Disney+ Hotstar) and Viacom18. He aims to use the funds from the sale to finance his studies at Cambridge University. Initially optimistic about Reliance’s interest, he was approached but rejected when he requested £93,345. Reliance is now pursuing legal action for trademark infringement, while the developer is appealing for reconsideration. He believes JioHotstar.com would be a fitting name for the merged entity, arguing it would preserve brand equity and aid the transition for current users. For him, this opportunity could be life-changing, aligning his ambitions with a major corporate merger.
