Wondering how to advertise on JioHotstar in 2025? You’re not alone.
With over 500 million monthly viewers, JioHotstar is one of India’s most powerful platforms for digital reach. But unlike platforms like Google or Meta, you can’t just log in and launch ads. There’s no self-serve portal and going through the internal sales team often means delays, limited access and manual processes.
What most advertisers don’t realize is this:
To run effective JioHotstar campaigns, you need the right partner, one with programmatic access, creative expertise and omnichannel muscle.
That’s where Trzy Next steps in.
But here’s the truth most advertisers don’t know:
- – You can’t just run ads on JioHotstar directly.
