The company has leased a 1,294 sq. ft office on the ground floor of the Boomerang commercial complex in suburban Chandivali, according to the lease document that has been seen by Mint.

“The furnished office will be used by Starlink's legal team,” said a person familiar with the company’s plans, asking not to be named, adding that the team will move into the office in November. “Before this, Starlink had taken up a couple of seats in a co-working centre in Powai nearby, for a month or so.”
