JioStar posts 10% revenue rise as Sourav Ganguly launches Bigg Boss Bangla
TL;DR
- JioStar revenue grew 10.1% YoY to INR 68.1 bn in Q3
- Profit after tax fell 13.2% to INR 11.5 bn
- Former captain Sourav Ganguly hosted first Bigg Boss Bangla
JioStar, the Indian media conglomerate supported by Reliance Industries, reported a 10.1% year‑on‑year increase in revenue from operations, reaching INR 68.1 billion (about $710 million) for the July‑September quarter.
Despite the revenue growth, the company’s profit after tax declined 13.2% to INR 11.5 billion (approximately $120 million).
The quarter also saw former India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly host the inaugural “Bigg Boss Bangla,” marking the first regional edition of the franchise launched during this period.
Why It Matters
The earnings surge of a Reliance‑backed Indian media company signals resilience in the domestic entertainment sector despite a soft ad market, while the launch of a regional version of a popular reality show highlights growing demand for localized content that may attract diaspora viewers in North America.
