Starlink Satellite Communications, the satellite internet venture of Elon Musk, has leased office space in Mumbai's Chandivali, indicating a significant move in its strategy to expand operations in India. The lease, which covers 1,294 square feet at a commercial property called Boomerang, is part of Starlink's efforts to secure regulatory approvals and prepare for the launch of its satellite communication services in the country. This development is particularly noteworthy as it represents the first reported office space taken by Starlink in Mumbai. Industry experts suggest that Mumbai will serve as a central hub for the company's operations in India, which is one of the fastest-growing internet markets globally. Starlink plans to establish nine gateway earth stations across the country, aiming to deliver high-speed broadband services to underserved and remote areas. This move aligns with India's Digital India initiative and the increasing demand for internet connectivity driven by affordable smartphones and expanding mobile networks.
