The jiohotstar.com domain has changed hands and is now owned by Jainam and Jivika, two young siblings from the UAE. This change happened after the original owner, a Delhi-based developer, couldn’t secure ₹1 crore from Reliance Industries, which he needed for his education at Cambridge University. The developer described himself as “a dreamer” but admitted he was feeling family pressure and didn’t get a response from Reliance regarding his request. His situation became more complicated due to his parents’ worries.
On the same day the developer stopped communicating, Jainam and Jivika shared their story about acquiring the domain. They talked about their time in a Seva project in India, where they taught kids about education and life goals. They decided to buy the domain using part of their savings, hoping to help the young developer in Delhi.
The siblings plan to use the website to promote kindness. They also mentioned they might consider selling the domain in the future. On Reddit, users speculated about what the domain ownership means for Reliance, with some suggesting it might not fit the company’s plans. Opinions on the domain’s worth varied, with estimates around ₹10 lakh being discussed, along with suggestions for other URLs like Jiostar.com.
Who Are Jainam and Jivika?
Jainam and Jivika have been active on social media and started their YouTube channel in 2017, originally focusing on family-friendly unboxing videos. They’ve since shifted their content to include science topics and are getting ready to launch a podcast called “TalkFM, Dubai Audio,” featuring celebrity guests.
