KRK is not even a good box office analyst. He doesn't know anything about how an entertainment company operates.

SonyLIV has 33.3 mn paid subscribers globally, 40,000 hours of content

Singh had earlier touted Sony as the only media company with a profitable digital operation

If 33M paid subscribers is not better numbers then I don't know what is.

If you expand like Hotstar then you will get only $59 cents per subscriber.

It's a lot despite only being available in India. Here in South America the only Sony-owned property is Crunchyroll.

again most of it comes from OTT bundles and Airtel. This tyoes of subscription are killers , as they are discounted subscription rates and may go suddenly if the operator drops the pack. Just like what happened in JIo and hotstar bundle.

SonyLIV isn't free for basic mobile plans like how Hotstar did. So their ARPU will be much better than Hotstar.

During her tenure as Business Head, Shankarnarayan has forged strong relationships with all major leading platforms in UK & South Africa, with the recent launch of Star channels on BT and Sky Glass in the UK & the launch of Star Select in South Africa. Despite the challenges linear television broadcasters have been facing, Star channels have retained their leadership status in the UK. Star Life continues to be a ratings chart topper & continues to pay way for the dubbed language category in South Africa.

Incidentally, Disney Star is also rumoured to be relaunching its linear services in the US. So will Shankarnarayan be linked to this move.

Relaunching linear services in the US? iirc Disney never shut down any channel there.
