Head of Anti-Piracy & Platform Partnerships

About the Role:

JioStar is India's leading media and entertainment business, home to JioHotstar (500M+ monthly active users) and the exclusive home of the IPL (₹47,551 Cr rights value), ICC events and India's most-watched entertainment. With piracy costing India's video sector an estimated $1.2 billion annually, content protection is a key priority.
This is a build-and-lead mandate. The function operates as a lean, intelligence-led command centre. The Head of Anti-Piracy & Platform Partnerships will own operational strategy, platform governance, vendor management, law enforcement coordination and live-event readiness across domestic and future international markets.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategy & Operations:
- Own end-to-end execution of JioStar's anti-piracy strategy across broadcast, OTT, IPTV, social media and emerging ecosystems.
- Define the function's operating model, KPIs and business-impact metrics — moving beyond volume-based takedown counts.
- Lead international expansion planning: jurisdictional scoping,



coalition partnerships, and phased capability build-out.

Platform Partnerships & Escalation:
- Own senior relationships with Meta, Google/YouTube, Telegram, ISPs, hosting providers, registrars and CDNs.
- Lead escalation pathways for high-priority takedowns, repeat-offender action and live-event enforcement.
- Represent JioStar in industry coalitions and platform trust & safety forums (ACE, IBCAP, AAPA and equivalents).

Live-Event Anti-Piracy Operations:
- Command the live-event anti-piracy operation for IPL, ICC and premium events — 24/7 control-room oversight, mobilization within hours.
- Establish playbooks for restream takedowns, app-store enforcement and ISP-level blocking during marquee fixtures.

Intelligence, Investigations & Vendor Governance:
- Oversee the Intelligence & Investigations and the Data, Automation & Vendor Governance portfolio; ensure intelligence precedes every enforcement action.
