Disney CEO Bob Iger hails India merger with Reliance as ideal.

Bob Iger expresses satisfaction with the merger deal with Reliance.

The $8.5 billion Indian media merger is termed as advantageous. Iger sees the deal as beneficial for Disney’s profits and risk reduction.

“The transaction allows Disney to own part of a bigger media company,” Iger states. The deal combines Viacom18 and Star India businesses into one.

Reliance plans to invest Rs 11,500 crore for the growth strategy. Disney’s streaming platform, Disney+ Hotstar, struggled with subscriber decline.
