UIDAI-Starlink partnership: Starlink to use Aadhaar for customer verification; UIDAI tie-up clears path for 20 lakh users

Starlink, led by Elon Musk, will utilize Aadhaar authentication for verifying customers in India before they subscribe to its satellite-based broadband services. This follows the government’s approval for Starlink to operate in the country. The use of Aadhaar e-KYC will streamline user onboarding, ensure regulatory compliance, and facilitate high-speed internet access for homes, businesses, and institutions.
