Rakesh Jhunjhunwala picks up Dish TV shares worth Rs 93 crore
MUMBAI: Indian billionaire investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-owned Rare Enterprises on Wednesday picked up 1.30 crore shares in the direct to home service provider Dish TV. Following the move, the Dish TV India’s share price rallied as much as 3.5 per cent on Thursday morning.
According to bulk deals data on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) website, the shares were purchased at Rs 71.30 per share. Total value of the deal stands at Rs 92.69 crore.
Last month, Dish TV reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 118.21 crore for the quarter ending in March. In 2017’s first quarter, the company suffered a net loss of Rs 29.49 crore.
However, the merger of Dish TV and Videocon was completed on March 22.
“Financial numbers for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2018 are thus not comparable with the corresponding periods of the last year,” the company had said in a statement.

Dish TV launches ‘Kuch chhota sa’ campaign for TV flexibilit
New campaign highlights 190+ channels, Always-On service, Rs 99 Freedom Pack.
MUMBAI- Sometimes, the smallest remote click can fix the biggest daily friction and Dish TV is betting on exactly that insight. The company has rolled out a new campaign built around the thought ‘Kuch chhota sa karne par, life hogi behtar’, turning everyday viewing annoyances into a case for simpler, more reliable television access.
The campaign taps into a familiar household reality: millions of viewers continue to rely on free-to-air channels but increasingly want the flexibility of premium content, often ending up with a patchy and inconsistent viewing experience. Dish TV positions itself as the middle path—a structured yet flexible alternative that promises continuity without complexity. At its core is the pitch of an “Always-On” service, designed to keep content accessible even when recharge timelines slip, effectively reducing one of the most common friction points in DTH consumption.
To strengthen this proposition, the platform is offering access to over 190 channels, alongside a flexible pricing hook through its Freedom Pack, starting at Rs 99. The pack is positioned as a seasonal companion particularly relevant during high-engagement periods such as cricket tournaments, school holidays and festive windows, when content consumption spikes but users may not want long-term commitments.
Conceptualised by Enormous, the campaign unfolds through two master films and three short edits rooted in slice-of-life storytelling. From a husband quietly navigating around his sleeping wife to siblings striking a compromise over a coveted window seat, the narratives lean into humour and relatability rather than heavy messaging. The underlying idea remains consistent: small adjustments can meaningfully improve everyday experiences.
The rollout spans a full 360-degree media mix, including television, digital platforms, on-ground activations, point-of-sale visibility, Google Display Network placements and influencer-led content, signalling a push for both scale and contextual engagement.
As viewing habits continue to evolve in a hybrid ecosystem of free and paid content, Dish TV’s latest play reflects a broader industry shift where reliability and flexibility are increasingly positioned as differentiators, not just add-ons. In a market crowded with choice, the brand’s wager is simple: sometimes, it’s the smallest tweak that keeps audiences tuned in.
