Here’s a story about Starlink – a satellite-based internet service provider company – that could enter India.
Senior executives at Starlink, a satellite communications company of Elon Musk, met with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and Telecommunications officials to outline the company’s vision to expand its business in India.
The delegation included Starlink’s Vice President Chad Gibbs and Senior Director Ryan Goodnight. According to Goyal, the discussion focused on Starlink’s advanced technology platform, current collaboration and its future investment roadmap in India.
The meeting was also attended by senior representatives from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Telecommunications, responsible for telecommunications-related matters.
According to a report by the Times of India, Starlink talks about the concerns of the Indian government (mainly the issue raised by the Ministry of Home Affairs) to support national security. The company has been seeking regulatory approval for the launch of its satellite communications service in India for the past two to three years. However, progress has been greatly hampered by unresolved security-related issues.
