JioHotstar Domain Bought by Developer, Wants Reliance to Fund Studies

An unexpected twist happened in the world of corporate mergers when an app developer saw an opportunity and took a bold step. The individual in question had the foresight to predict the merger between Reliance JioCinema and Disney HotStar, leading them to purchase the domain name "JioHotstar" before the official announcement.

The Delhi-based app developer's decision to acquire the JioHotstar domain has sparked curiosity and admiration within the tech community. In a strategic move, the developer registered the domain and sent a letter addressed to the executives of Reliance Industries, outlining his intentions.

The intention behind 

"My intention of buying this domain was simple: if this merger happens, I might be able to fulfill my dream of studying at Cambridge," expressed the app developer, signing off as "a dreamer" in the letter.

This bold move not only shows the individual's foresight but also his ambition and determination to seize opportunities.

The letter, which can be found on the official website https://jiohotstar.com, presents a unique proposition to Reliance Industries. The app developer proposes that in exchange for relinquishing the domain name, the company funds his higher studies.

This creative approach demonstrates the individual's willingness to think outside the box and leverage resources effectively.

Times of India Tech validated the authenticity of the URL, confirming that it leads to the page containing the app developer's heartfelt request to Reliance Industries management. This display of transparency and openness speaks volumes about the developer's integrity and sincerity.
