'Elon Musk Is Impatient': Sunil Bharti Mittal On Starlink's India Entry
In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Bharti Enterprises Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal responds to Elon Musk's criticism over delays in Starlink's India entry and explains why national security must take priority over speed. Discussing lessons from the Russia-Ukraine war, Mittal says foreign satellite operators can serve Indian customers, but critical controls, including the kill switch and lawful interception, must remain within India. He also explains how OneWeb has positioned its ground infrastructure to meet India's security requirements and why satellite connectivity is becoming increasingly important for defence and remote locations.
