In such a situation, Starlink's partnership can bring a new revolution in the Indian telecom sector.However, it will be interesting to see how quickly Starlink gets the necessary licenses and approvals in India and how affordable this service proves to be for Indian consumers.ConclusionElon Musk's Starlink's entry into India and partnership with Airtel and Jio is an important step. It will not only promote high-speed internet services but will also take digital connectivity to new heights. If all the necessary approvals are received on time, then in the coming time millions of people of India will be able to take advantage of Starlink's satellite internet service.
