Elon Musk and Mukesh Ambani are vying for a stake in India’s fast-growing satellite internet market, a contest that could help shape the future of global digital infrastructure. While Musk’s Starlink has built a vast low-Earth orbit satellite network and is awaiting final approvals to launch in India, Ambani’s Reliance Jio enters the race with a massive domestic customer base and deep ties to one of the world’s largest telecom markets.
At the heart of the competition are questions of connectivity, regulation, data sovereignty and national security. As governments seek greater control over critical communications networks, the outcome in India could offer a preview of a broader global struggle over who will build, own and operate the next generation of internet infrastructure.
