By signing deals with India’s two biggest telecom players, the tech tycoon and Trump adviser has improved his odds of breaking into an enormous market.

India's Reliance Jio said on Wednesday it signed a deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX to bring Starlink's internet services to India, a day after rival Bharti Airtel inked a similar pact. Both deals are conditional upon Starlink obtaining government approval to begin operations in the country.

In a significant move for India’s telecom sector, Starlink, the satellite internet service provider founded by Elon Musk, has announced partnerships with Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio. This collaboration aims to bring satellite broadband services to remote and underserved regions across the country.
