Space X Jio Partnership
Reliance Jio, a subsidiary of Reliance
Industries, has signed a partnership
with SpaceX to bring Starlink internet
services to India.
This agreement, which is contingent
upon SpaceX receiving its own
authorizations to sell Starlink in India,
enables Jio and SpaceX to explore
how
Starlink can extend Jio’s offerings and
complement SpaceX’s direct offerings
to its consumers and businesses.
Jio will make Starlink solutions
available through its retail outlets as
well as through its online storefronts.
The company will not only offer
Starlink equipment in its retail outlets
but will also establish a mechanism to
support customer service installation
and activation.
This partnership aims to enhance
internet access across India,
particularly in remote areas, by
leveraging Starlink’s satellite
technology alongside existing
infrastructure. Both companies are
evaluating other complementary areas
of cooperation to leverage their
respective infrastructure to further
enhance India’s digital
ecosystem.
Mathew Oommen, Group CEO of
Reliance Jio, noted that this
partnership marks a transformative
step towards seamless broadband
connectivity for all Indians.
Gwynne Shotwell, President and Chief
Operating Officer of SpaceX,
expressed
enthusiasm about working with Jio to
provide more people, organizations,
and businesses with access to
Starlink’s high-speed internet
services.
