But current disney doesn’t care about it

They want to make profits instead of subscriber count

If we count as per ARPU 12milliom indian subs arpu equals to 1 million US subs ARPU

Most of the subscription were given through recharge offers/ flipkart coins etc. So after it ends, no one going to subscribe it with the price and the poor pq/ content is killing the viewing experience
