India is on the brink of a telecom disruption as the government plans to relax entry barriers for satellite communication (satcom) technology. This could pave the way for global heavyweights like Elon Musk’s Starlink and Jeff Bezos’ Project Kuiper to enter the market. But the move has telecom majors—Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea—raising alarms over spectrum allocation policies and market disruption.

Join host Dia Rekhi as she decodes the significance of satcom, the potential impact on India’s data market, pricing concerns, and how players like Starlink and Kuiper navigate regulatory hurdles. With Siddhant Cally, Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research, and Ashutosh Sharma, VP, Research Director at Forrester. This episode unpacks the future of India's link with Starlink.
