JioCinema, the Indian streaming app backed by Mukesh Ambani's Reliance, broke the world record for the most concurrent views to a live streamed event, attracting over 32 million viewers to the final game of the Indian Premier League cricket tournament. The previous record was held by Disney's Hotstar, which drew 25.3 million simultaneous viewers for a cricket match in 2019.
