India's largest telecoms company Reliance Jio and its rival Bharti Airtel have signed separate deals with Elon Musk's SpaceX to bring the Starlink internet service to the country. The move has caught most analysts by surprise, as Musk has publicly clashed with both companies recently.

Elon Musk’s Starlink has signed an agreement with India’s top telecom operator on Wednesday to bring the U.S. satellite internet giant’s services to the world’s most populous country, a day after announcing a similar agreement with the country’s second-largest provider.

Reliance Jio has partnered with SpaceX to offer Starlink to its customers in India just hours after Airtel's partnership.
