Global satellite-internet provider Starlink is making a determined move into the Indian market as it begins hiring for key roles in Bangalore. The company, owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has listed several finance and operations positions, including Accounting Manager, Payments Manager, Senior Treasury Analyst, and Tax Manager.
All roles require locally based professionals with valid work authorization, showing Starlink’s plan to build a strong on-ground presence. From an industry standpoint, this hiring wave signals Starlink’s transition from intent to execution.
The company is also working on setting up gateway stations in Mumbai, Chennai, and Noida — infrastructure that will enable seamless satellite connectivity once commercial services begin. The official launch is expected around late 2025 or early 2026, depending on regulatory approvals from Indian telecom authorities.

India represents a massive growth opportunity for Starlink, given the country’s vast rural regions where reliable broadband remains limited. However, the company faces stiff challenges — data prices in India are among the lowest in the world, and telecom giants like Jio and Bharti Airtel are already expanding their own satellite-based services.
Starlink’s strategy now appears focused on establishing operational readiness and compliance before going live. By building local teams early, it’s ensuring smooth navigation of India’s complex financial and regulatory landscape. As the company prepares for its much-anticipated debut, the telecom industry is watching closely to see how this global disruptor reshapes India’s connectivity landscape.
