This merger will create India’s largest and most powerful media and entertainment conglomerate, valued at $8.5 billion. As part of the deal, Viacom18 will transfer its assets to Star India, which will be the operational entity after the merger. RIL will hold a controlling 56% stake, while Walt Disney will have 37%, and Shankar and Murdoch’s Bodhi Tree Systems will hold 7%.
