Dubai-based siblings Jainam and Jivika, the owners of jiohotstar.com domain, have decided to transfer it to Reliance "free of cost", resting speculations on social media platforms. The story of the internet domain name, which grabbed a lot of attention on social media platforms in the recent past, ended with "seva and kindness", according to the duo. The unique website ID was said to have been initially registered by a Delhi-based app developer last year amid speculation about the potential merger of Reliance Jio and Disney Hotstar. Last month, the developer came up with the demand for funding his higher studies at the Cambridge University in return of the domain's ownership transfer, days after Reliance Jio and The Walth Disney formally announced the merger of their media businesses. Later, the Dubai-based siblings purchased jiohotstar.com domain from its registered owner.

The anonymous techie, who has registered the JioHotstar domain, is willing to sell it to Reliance Industries at one-tenth of the original asking price but is yet to receive any proposal from billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate. The Delhi-based app developer -- who has been grabbing social media attention for his unique demand to fund his higher studies by selling the JioHotstar domain, following the merger deal of media assets of Reliance and India business of Walt Disney -- wants to avoid a legal battle with the corporate giant and hopes that a compassionate stand would be taken. In a response to PTI query on mail @Jiohotstar, the ID mentioned on the viral post, the anonymous techie said: "I haven't received any reply and proposal from reliance". "I don't think they intend to pay in my case as well. I would be extremely happy if they do," he said in the reply.
