Starlink - StartupStories

Elon Musk’s Starlink has received the final regulatory green light to launch its satellite internet services in India, marking a major milestone for the country’s digital connectivity. The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) granted Starlink the crucial approval, making it the third company after Eutelsat OneWeb and Reliance Jio to secure full regulatory clearance for satellite broadband in India.

What Does This Mean for India?

  • Starlink can now move forward with commercial satellite broadband operations, aiming to bring high-speed internet to both urban and remote regions where traditional connectivity is limited or unavailable.
  • The approval allows Starlink to operate its Gen1 satellite constellation over Indian territory, using a mix of Ka and Ku band frequencies for reliable internet access.
  • The license is valid until July 7, 2030, giving Starlink five years to establish and grow its presence in the Indian market.

What’s Next for Starlink?

Before launching services, Starlink must:

  • Acquire satellite spectrum from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT)
  • Set up ground infrastructure such as gateway stations across the country
  • Complete security and compliance trials as required by Indian authorities

If all goes according to plan, Starlink’s commercial rollout could begin by late 2025 or early 2026.

Pricing and Partnerships

  • Starlink kits are expected to cost around ₹33,000, with monthly subscription fees likely ranging from ₹3,000 to ₹4,200.
  • The hardware and services will be distributed through major telecom partners like Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, expanding Starlink’s reach across India36.
  • These rates are similar to those in neighboring countries where Starlink has already launched.

Why Is This Important?

  • Starlink’s entry is set to transform India’s internet landscape, especially for rural and underserved communities.
  • The move supports India’s broader goal of expanding digital access and bridging the connectivity gap across diverse regions.

In Summary

With this final approval, Starlink is poised to revolutionize satellite internet in India, offering new options for millions of users and supporting the country’s digital future. The next steps involve spectrum allocation, infrastructure setup, and regulatory compliance—after which Starlink aims to go live, potentially as soon as the end of 2025.

    One more thing I would like to convey is that as opposed to trying to match all your online degree programs on times that you conclude work (as most people are worn out when they get back), try to have most of your classes on the week-ends and only a few courses on weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your end of the week. This is beneficial because on the week-ends, you will be much more rested in addition to concentrated upon school work. Thx for the different ideas I have figured out from your blog.

Tim Cook: Apple Posts Record India Growth in iPhone, Mac & Services

Apple

Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple closed the June quarter with record revenue in over two dozen markets, driven by double-digit growth in India across iPhone, Mac and Services. During April–June, iPhone sales in India jumped 13.4% year-on-year, Mac revenue rose 15%, and Services revenue climbed 13%, each marking an all-time quarterly high. Cook emphasized that “we saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil.”

India’s strategic importance extends beyond sales into Apple’s supply chain: 71% of iPhones sold in the U.S. now carry “Country of Origin: India,” up from 31% a year ago. This shift underscores Apple’s diversification strategy and its deepening manufacturing partnerships with Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Electronics. Cook noted that India has become a “major manufacturing base” for iPhones destined for global markets, reducing reliance on a single region and enhancing supply stability.

Looking forward, Apple plans to open new retail stores in India later this year, bolstering its direct-to-consumer presence and capitalizing on the world’s fastest-growing smartphone market. Despite incurring approximately $800 million in tariff costs during the quarter, Cook affirmed that India’s market potential and manufacturing advantages remain “key pillars of our global strategy” as Apple accelerates its expansion across the subcontinent.

Microsoft-Satyam

Microsoft vaulted past the $4 trillion market-capitalization milestone on July 31, becoming only the second U.S. company after Nvidia to reach this valuation as AI enthusiasm swept through equity markets. Shares jumped 5.3% on the back of stronger-than-expected fiscal Q4 results, with revenue climbing 18% year-over-year to $76.44 billion and net income rising 24% to $27.23 billion, while earnings per share of $3.65 beat analysts’ $3.37 consensus. 

The company’s Intelligent Cloud segment, led by Azure, delivered 39% revenue growth, pushing full-year Azure sales past $75 billion—a 34% increase—and underscoring cloud and AI as core growth drivers. CEO Satya Nadella emphasized that “Cloud and AI is the driving force of business transformation across every industry and sector,” reflecting momentum from strategic AI investments, including the partnership with OpenAI and proprietary model development. 

Microsoft’s share gains helped propel the Nasdaq Composite up 1.3% to 21,396 and the S&P 500 higher by 0.8%, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average adding 0.3%. Looking ahead, record capital expenditures of $30 billion slated for AI infrastructure and data-center expansion, combined with deep integration of generative AI across Microsoft 365 via Copilot, position the company to sustain market-cap expansion as enterprises accelerate digital transformation.
