Balaji Management expects to renegotiate terms with its broadcasters. 
The last quarter of last financial year has seen Balaji post a loss of $2.4 Million, out of which $800K is due to COVID 19 crises. 
While the Joint Managing Director, Ekta Kapoor announced that she will forgo her salary, it was also reported that there is a 50% cut in salaries for the Group for April. May and June. 
The Group is expecting that their future focus is going to be a lot of digital content. They are also expecting to bring in new investors as their future strategy pivots.
