A Dubai-based sibling duo has agreed to hand over a domain they purchased to Reliance for free. Jainam (13) and Jivika (10), residents of the UAE, had acquired the JioHotstar domain from a young software developer in Delhi, aiming to support his education. Now, the siblings have decided to offer it to Reliance without charge. This decision follows the Indian conglomerate's previous demand of Rs10 million to buy the domain from the siblings.
The journey of these UAE-based Indian kids to owning such a significant domain began in 2017 when they started a YouTube channel featuring unboxing videos and science content. They later transitioned to podcasts and interviews with influential figures. The duo inspired other children by connecting with kids from diverse backgrounds during a summer vacation, promoting learning, teaching, goal setting, and dreaming big. They also engage in charitable and voluntary activities.
During their travels, they received donations and appreciation, using a portion to buy the JioHotstar domain from the Delhi-based developer. Initially, they kept the domain open for purchase by anyone interested. However, rumors circulated as they received numerous emails from individuals eager to buy the domain. After investigating, they found some offers were fake, while others were genuine but substantial.
The siblings clarified online that they never intended to sell the domain, emphasizing it was not for sale. They purchased the domain solely to support the software developer and shared their story to highlight their journey of 'seva' (service). "With ongoing discussions, we believe it might be best for Team Reliance to have this domain, if they want it. We are happy to give jiohotstar.com to them for free, with all the proper paperwork. This is entirely our choice; no one from Reliance or any legal group has contacted or pressured us," the kids stated.
"If Reliance is interested, they can reach us at jainam@1xl.com or jivika@1xl.com, and we will facilitate the transfer smoothly. If they are not interested, that’s okay too. We will continue to share updates about our journey and work," added the young entrepreneurs.
