Viacom is the coolest culture amongst all. Star and Disney have a very cut throat culture.

Viacom culture has already been killed.

Viacom18 culture is good, a lot of folks who are ranting about it being toxic are not part of the organisation.

Since it's a merger, I believe that a new entity will be formed, which would be similar to how Hotstar was previously with the content, with its current quality. The pricing may become a bit more tougher, and I forsee them taking over all others.

But Sony and Zee is yet to produce a results after their merger.

Reliance culture will be brought in to this. When reliance acquired viacom18 majority, all offsites to International locations and few other good culture practices were cut out. Same will happen here although Disney star was not a great employer. . Star team is good people but culture not that great so they will enjoy
