@Sithara007 not sure if Disney actually thought like you did, therefore my theory yet remains the same that Disney did it because they knew that they could actually recover the money, and earn profits as OTT ads are very lucrative.
I agree with you!
Indian economy is growing at a breakneck speed ever since NDA came to power in 2014. Salaries have gone up by 3-4 times and inflation has remained at 4-5%. Sports sector in particular has witnessed extremely rapid growth. And this was witnessed during the IPL franchise auction and IPL media rights auction as well. And compared to cable TV, online streaming has witnessed greater growth. In India, the lower middle class is moving up towards the higher middle class group and this group is spending considerable amounts on OTT platforms.
