A couple of years ago there were speculations of a merger between Jio and Hotstar, when a Delhi-based developer acquired the domain.The Delhi-based engineer initially sought financial assistance for his Cambridge University education in exchange for the domain, but Reliance turned it down.
Later, the Dubai-based brothers bought the jiohotstar.com domain from its registered owner.
