Kiran Reddy's journey was incredible! Loved hearing about his transformation of Sathyam Cinemas. His focus on customer experience and community building is inspiring. Can't wait for more podcast episodes!
I need to ask him a few questions regarding some of SPI's best cinema lobbies. SPI Cinemas was destined to be the GOAT cinema chain, but that future has crushed because Kiran Reddy unfortunately sold his company rights to PVR INOX Ltd, and guess what PVR did to SPI Cinemas? PVR completely killed SPI Cinemas by shutting down their website and apps back in 2023 and many people weren't happy coz the popcorn prices increased and there are issues with PVR in hands of SPI Cinemas'es beautiful theatres! I really need to talk to him, either online or in real life! PVR is taking away the feeling of uniqueness in SPI Cinemas'es AMAZING cinemas such as Sathyam, Escape, Palazzo, S2 and The Cinema. These cinemas don't feel unique without SPI Cinemas. I wish that SPI Cinemas could come back, but I feel that it's near impossible since PVR is India's largest cinema chain and it's really powerful! I miss SPI Cinemas with all my heart, and I always will! PVR took away some of the unique features that some of the cinemas had, like La Piazza in Palazzo.etc. (It seems to me so) If you get another chance to interview him, can you ask him questions regarding the creation of a cinema called "Palazzo"? Because it's interesting how well SPI Cinemas created the representation of an Italian architecture on a cinematic scale!
