Starlink Leases First North India Office In Delhi

23 Dec 2025 CW Team

The office is located at the World Trade Center Nauroji Nagar in New Delhi, the same complex where OpenAI recently established its first India office, highlighting the capital’s growing appeal to global technology firms.

Earlier this month, Starlink briefly displayed home broadband pricing on its India website, sparking speculation about an imminent launch. The company later clarified that the pricing update was the result of a technical error. Industry sources said global technology companies such as OpenAI and Starlink are increasingly choosing Delhi as their initial base in India to stay close to policymakers and key government stakeholders, a critical consideration for businesses operating in highly regulated sectors such as satellite communications.

Demand for premium, flexible office formats is also influencing these choices. Managed offices offering high-end amenities and hotel-style services are being preferred by multinational firms seeking scalability and operational flexibility, industry executives said. Starlink declined to comment on the development, while CorporatEdge also did not respond to queries.

CorporatEdge recently leased 51,000 square feet at Godrej GCR in Gurugram and plans to end the year with around 590,000 square feet of operational or committed workspace. The company has also expanded internationally, taking 36,000 square feet of office space in Dubai.

In November, the Government of Maharashtra signed an agreement with Starlink to deploy satellite internet services across government offices, remote villages and critical infrastructure, although a commercial launch timeline has yet to be announced.

According to property consultancy CBRE, India’s flexible office stock is expected to expand to 125 million square feet by 2027, from about 80 million square feet in 2024, with Delhi-NCR accounting for nearly 25 per cent of the growth. Credit rating agency ICRA noted that large enterprises now contribute 55–60 per cent of total demand for flexible offices, a sharp shift from earlier years when start-ups dominated the segment.

Starlink’s Delhi office follows its smaller setup in Mumbai earlier in 2025, signalling a measured expansion of its India footprint as it prepares for a potential nationwide rollout.
