and not bidding for rights to distribute Paramount and NBCU titles in India. All three Hollywood studios’ content are now on Ambani’s JioCinema platform instead. The Ampere study says that to support ARPU growth, Disney+ Hotstar also needs to review its partnership deals with mobile telcos and encourage direct subscription.
