JioHotstar to Lay Off 1100+ Employees? In a significant development following the merger of Reliance Jio and Disney, JioHotstar has reportedly laid off 1,100 employees. This decision comes despite the platform achieving a record-breaking 669 million viewers during the India vs Australia semi-final match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The India-Australia semi-final match, held on March 4, 2025, saw India triumph by four wickets. The match set a new viewership record, surpassing the previous high of 602 million viewers during the India-Pakistan match earlier in the tournament. The merger of Reliance Jio and Disney led to the formation of JioHotstar, combining the strengths of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar. Despite the platform's recent success in attracting unprecedented viewership, the company has opted for workforce reductions, possibly as part of restructuring efforts post-merger.
