Sunil Mittal-led telecom major Bharti Airtel on Tuesday announced a partnership with Elon Musk's SpaceX to offer Starlink's high-speed satellite internet services to Airtel customers in India.
The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval for Starlink's operations in the country, sets the stage for intensified competition with Mukesh Ambani-owned Jio Space Technology Ltd.

"This is a purely business decision to market Starlink products.
