Elon Musk’s SpaceX has partnered with Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio to bring Starlink’s satellite communication services to India. This landmark collaboration between a global space-tech pioneer and India’s telecom giants could redefine connectivity, bridging gaps in areas with limited land-based infrastructure and bringing mobile connectivity to the 400 million people who are unconnected or under connected.

But what led to this partnership between companies that were bickering over spectrum allocation weeks back? What makes this low-earth orbit satellite technology so revolutionary, and how might it transform India’s telecom sector? And will this tie up, which clearly has larger geopolitical implications, hasten regulatory nods for satcom in India? Host Anirban Chowdhury along with ET’s telecom expert Kalyan Parbat decodes it all.

Tune in.
