Disney+ was earlier scheduled to launch in India on March 29 but due to the coronavirus pandemic, the launch was delayed. There cannot be a better time to release a streaming app than this when the entire country is under a 21-day lockdown and are relying on streaming apps for entertainment.
Earlier in March, the Hotstar Premium was rebranded as Disney+ Hotstar. The black and yellow Hotstar logo was replaced with a royal blue logo with a tinge of white. The opportunity in the market hasn’t changed for us. IPL was the biggest reach driver to take the message (of the launch of Disney+) to every cricket lover.
