Disney has announced that its subscription-based streaming service Disney Plus, which launched in the US in November last year, will arrive in India on March 29 through its Hotstar app.
The announcement was made by Disney CEO Robert Iger during the company’s quarterly earnings call on Tuesday.
“We’re excited to announce that we will be launching Disney Plus in India through our Hotstar service on March 29th at the beginning of the Indian Premier League cricket season,” Iger said.
Though the Disney top boss didn’t go into the specifics, he said the company will rebrand the Hotstar app to “Disney Plus Hotstar”.
“We see this as a great opportunity to use the proven platform of Hotstar to launch the new Disney Plus service in one of the most populous countries and fastest growing economies in the world,” he added.
