Looking Forward To Serving India With Starlink: Elon Musk

 

New York/Washington : SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday said he is "looking forward" to serving India with his satellite communication-based internet company, Starlink. "Looking forward to serving India with @Starlink!," Musk said in a post on X. Musk's comment came in response to a post by Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya Scindia, who met Vice President of Starlink Business Operations Lauren Dreyer in Delhi.

 

"A pleasure to meet @LaurenDreyer, Vice President of @Starlink Business Operations (SpaceX) and the senior leadership team to discuss advancing satellite-based last-mile access across India," Scindia said. Scindia added that as the ministry works to advance Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a digitally empowered India, "satellite technology will play a pivotal role in extending connectivity to the most remote parts of the country & strengthening internet access to every citizen in rural and hard-to-reach regions, ensuring that digital inclusion accelerates broader development".

 

Starlink is among the world's most advanced satellite technology companies, delivering high-speed, low-latency internet, providing connectivity to those in the remotest and rural areas. A few days back, after announcing the prices of its internet plans for Indian users, Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet service companystated that the Indian pricing displayed on the website was a technical glitch. The company’s Vice President of Business Operations, Lauren Dreyer said the pricing displayed on Starlink India’s official website was merely dummy test data.
