After solidifying his control of a $2 telecom carriage business, the world’s seventh-richest man is seeking his next fortune in a $1 content-streaming enterprise.

Actually, the spoils from the digital rights for Indian Premier League cricket<\/a>, snagged by billionaire Mukesh Ambani<\/a>’s Viacom18<\/a> by dethroning Walt Disney & Co. for the next five years, aren’t even at the $1 mark yet. Disney+ Hotstar, primarily a service for cricket-loving Indians that’s also available in some other Asian markets, has 50 million subscribers and rapid growth. But the monthly average revenue per user for the partly ad-supported app is just 76 cents, a drag on what Disney+ makes from customers elsewhere who pay the full cost of entertainment.

The streaming rights for
IPL<\/a>, the Super Bowl of cricket<\/a>, have gone for Rs 20,500 crore ($2.6 billion), according to media reports. Viacom18 Media Pvt., a joint venture between Ambani’s Reliance Industries Ltd<\/a>. and Paramount Global, is paying that amount for 410 matches over five years starting 2023, or $6.4 million per game. There’s a separate $3 billion TV deal for the Indian subcontinent, though it isn’t clear who has grabbed it; the Financial Times says Disney might have been retained it; other reports suggest Sony Group Corp. is the winner. An official announcement will come after the smaller auctions — for non-exclusive digital content and overseas TV rights — that are likely to conclude Tuesday.

The headline-grabbing figure is the value bidders put on the streaming package, which is now worth almost as much as IPL on television. A big chunk of the credit for that catch-up goes to Ambani. His 4G Jio network disrupted the Indian telecom market with cheap data, acquiring more than 410 million customers since its launch in 2016. As Jio subscribers burn through their plans to watch cricket on their mobile devices, Ambani’s carriage business will get an automatic lift from his investment in content. After a tariff increase, the telecom users are finally paying him a little more than $2 a month; if he can get another $1 — by luring them with cricket and keeping them for other entertainment — his $38 billion-a-year consumer empire could bulk up some more.

Even so, it won’t be easy to make money on this new investment at a time when surging inflation is crimping discretionary spending. That’s where the former 21st Century Fox executive Uday Shankar comes in. The man behind the popular Indian app that was later acquired by Disney is now a key driver of Ambani’s media ambitions. Viacom18 recently received a $1.8 billion capital infusion from Bodhi Tree Systems, an investment firm created by Shankar and his former boss, James Murdoch. Ambani will expect Shankar, who’s known for his keen pulse of media consumption in small-town India, to be as successful in beating Disney+ Hotstar as he was in creating Hotstar for Murdoch and his dad, Rupert.

Among other things, Shankar has to sustain viewer — and advertiser — interest in IPL. He was instrumental in bringing the competition out of a deep funk after a match-fixing scandal in 2012. The current situation isn’t as dire as it was then, but it isn’t great, either. TV viewership is lackluster; Indian media have cited unnamed sources to report that some advertisers have asked Disney to compensate them for a drop in viewership in this year’s edition. While a part of the audience may have cut the TV cords and moved online, the championship itself is at risk of turning tedious.

Still, it was surprising that Amazon.com Inc., which was widely expected to give stiff competition to Viacom18, decided to stay out of IPL bidding at the last minute. The much-anticipated Round 2 in the contest between Ambani and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos — Ambani recently outmaneuvered his rival in taking over control of a near-bankrupt Indian retailer — never materialized. Perhaps the Seattle-based behemoth is happy to livestream English Premier League soccer; maybe it sees a surer (and less expensive) pathway for Prime to grow in India on the back of e-commerce, rather than e-cricket.

Amazon’s apathy should also give Ambani pause. He’s India largest retailer. But can he milk his splashy investment for some additional commerce for
JioMart<\/a>, the online alliance of affiliated neighborhood stores buttressing his own network of 15,000-plus Reliance<\/a> Retail stores? Could Meta Platforms Inc.’s popular WhatsApp messenger service help him collect payments for snacks ordered online while Mumbai Indians (owned by the Ambani family) is taking on Chennai Super Kings? Commerce apart, Ambani has to invest in content because arch rival Gautam Adani is snapping at his heels. The coal czar is starting off with news programming by buying a stake in Quintillion Business Media Pvt., which was an Indian partner of Bloomberg LP. The world’s ninth-richest tycoon has also set up his own media subsidiary, which wants to be in everything from publishing to advertising. Adani is yet to show an interest in cricket telecast or family soap operas. But he just acquired the rights to own and operate a team in the United Arab Emirates’ flagship T20 cricket league. So you never know.

However, staying ahead of Amazon and Adani are secondary considerations. The bottom line is this: Ambani has decided to spend billions on content, and now he has to earn it all back in five years. Not just from advertisers, but via carriage and commerce. One dollar at a time.

头条图是投标人流包,现在值得IPL电视上一样。一大块追赶去安巴尼的功劳。他的4 g Jio网络中断与廉价的数据,印度电信市场收购在2016年推出以来,超过4.1亿的客户。Jio订阅者通过燃烧他们计划在他们的移动设备上看板球比赛,安巴尼的运输业务将会得到一个自动电梯从他投资的内容。增加了关税后,电信用户终于给他2美元一个月多一点;如果他能得到另一个1美元——通过吸引板球和让他们对其他娱乐——他38美元每年消费帝国可以增强一些。

即便如此,它不会很容易赚钱的这个新投资时飙升的通货膨胀正在影响中国的可自由支配的个人开支。这就是21世纪福克斯公司前高管Uday Shankar出现的原因。印度受欢迎的应用程序背后的男人,后来被迪斯尼收购现在安巴尼的媒体野心的关键驱动因素。Viacom18最近获得了18亿美元注资从菩提树系统,一家投资公司由Shankar和他的前任老板,詹姆斯•默多克。安巴尼将期望Shankar著称的媒体消费的脉搏在印度小镇,一样成功地击败迪斯尼+ Hotstar他创建Hotstar默多克和他的爸爸,鲁珀特。

除此之外,Shankar必须维持观众和广告商IPL的兴趣。他把竞争的假球丑闻在2012年后深深的恐惧。目前的情况并不是那么可怕,但也不是很好,。电视收视率低迷;印度媒体援引未具名消息人士报道,一些广告商要求迪斯尼弥补收视率下降在今年的版本。而部分观众可能减少电视连线在线和移动,冠军本身就是把乏味的风险。

仍然是令人惊讶的Amazon.com Inc .,这是普遍认为给Viacom18激烈竞争,决定远离IPL招标在最后一分钟。万众瞩目的第二轮比赛安巴尼和亚马逊的杰夫·贝佐斯-安巴尼最近战胜了他的对手在几近破产接管控制印度零售商——从未兑现。也许是西雅图的庞然大物很高兴liverstream英超足球;也许看到一个可靠的和更便宜的途径为主要生长在印度的电子商务,而不是e-cricket。

亚马逊的冷漠也应该给安巴尼暂停。他是印度最大的零售商。但他牛奶能引人注目的投资为一些额外的商业JioMart,在线附属联盟附近商店15000 - +支撑自己的网络依赖零售商店吗?能元平台Inc .)流行WhatsApp信使服务帮助他收集在线支付零食命令而孟买印度人(安巴尼家族拥有的)是在钦奈超级国王?商业分开,安巴尼投资内容,因为主要竞争对手Gautam Adani抓住他的高跟鞋。煤炭沙皇与新闻节目开始通过购买股份在百万的三次方商业媒体Pvt。,这是乐动扑克彭博资讯的印度合作伙伴。世界ninth-richest大亨也建立了自己的媒体子公司,而想要从发布广告。阿达尼尚未表现出兴趣板球电视广播或家庭肥皂剧。但他只是权利的获取和操作团队在阿拉伯联合酋长国的旗舰T20板球联赛。所以你永远不会知道的。

然而,保持领先的亚马逊和阿达尼则是次要的考虑因素。底线是:安巴尼已经决定在内容上花费巨资,现在他已经获得这一切早在五年。不仅从广告商,但通过运输和贸易。一美元。
