In an unprecedented business move involving Mukesh Ambani , one of the richest businessmen in India, two young boys from Dubai aged only 10 and 13 managed to attract quite a buzz. What is interesting, however, is that the children managed to secure a domain called JioHotstar and subsequently offered it to Reliance. In this article, we highlight how these kids took a casual concept and developed it into a solid business opportunity.
How are these Kids Shaking Up the Business World?
In a fascinating twist which is a combination of teenage creativity and business understanding, Zehnam Jain (13) and Jeevika Jain (10), reportedly acquired the JioHotstar domain that a young app developer from New Delhi owned. The app developer had previously owned the site and was offering it to Reliance and Viacom18 in exchange for help in paying school fees. Even though that deal didn’t go through, Zehnam and Jeevika saw a gap in the market and so decided to buy the site.
As stated by the children on the JioHotstar website: “Kindness is a virtue that can be practised at any age even though we are still quite young.” This statement encapsulates their strong resolve towards leaving the world for the better and their aspiration to do so through simple yet impactful forms of generosity.
How Did They Afford to Buy the Domain?
During the holidays spent in India, the Jain siblings were able to earn some money through different chores. This money together with some money they made back in Dubai prompted them to buy the JioHotstar domain from an application developer based in Delhi. From then on, it was the first step towards their entrepreneurial journey and it was clear that even children are capable of harboring and fostering such level of passion and vision.
Anticipated Offer for Reliance Jio by Mukesh Ambani’s Company
After owning the domain name, the young entrepreneurs had a somewhat startling and different perspective of bringing the domain to Reliance Jio, a company owned by Mukesh Ambani. The children family was prepared to give the domain out for free as long as it met one requirement: it needed the firm to email the children. This transaction however did not go as planned, and the domain name was eventually given up. In the meantime, the parents of Reliance Jio moved on and, there turns out to be a new domain “JioStar” in the Jio kitty which is likely to be launched soon.
This is a brief history behind the designs of Mukesh Ambani’s Company focus targets which he aims to achieve in upcoming years.
The Jain siblings are not newcomers to the digital world. They started a YouTube channel back in 2017 where they showed videos unboxing toys and playing with family and friends. With the passage of time their interest broadened and they began creating educational content particularly in the domain of science. She continues to grow her presence online and she plans on launching a podcast that has some major personalities.
Why This Story Matters: Age Doesn’t Define Capability
The story of Zehnam and Jeevika is indeed commendable in many aspects. This is not only a testament to the increasing power of the youth in the digital realm, but it also emphatically asserts that there is no age for imagination, benevolence or ambition. Their entrepreneurial venture demonstrates how youngsters can be creative, responsible, and dare to take big steps in business and technology.
Final Thoughts: A New Generation of Digital Entrepreneurs
It is possible from Zehnam and Jeevika’s example, that today’s youth are able to not just comprehend the reality of the corporate world but also undertake meaningful activity within it. Their story is a reminder of the strength of curiosity, the ability to learn through technology and the propensity to take risks. It is a nice display on how the new generation can be positive and purposeful.
As they proceed through their lives, it is safe to say that Zehnam and Jeevika will undoubtedly guide a number of younger generations in the pursuit of construction, exploration and the shaping of the world in ways unexpected. These young innovators have only just begun, and so many possibilities await them in their entrepreneurial journey endeavors.
