As someone commented on X/Twitter that this has to be the weirdest tech drama ever in history involving alleged domain squatting, a failed negotiation, a legal scare, and Gen Z siblings acquiring the portal, only to later give it away for free? Jainam (13) and Jivika (10), the Gen Z siblings from Dubai who bought the Jio Hotstar domain from an anonymous Delhi techie after Reliance threatened to take legal action, have now decided to give the portal to Reliance for free. Earlier, a young software developer who last year heard of the Disney Reliance deal leading to the potential merger of Jio Cinema with Hotstar purchased JioHotStar.com, hoping to make a good fortune—enough to sustain his Cambridge University dreams.
