The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has onboarded satellite-based internet provider Starlink Satellite Communication Private Limited. Starlink will use Aadhaar authentication for customer verification, which will make the entire process smooth, secure, and very easy.
Additionally, Aadhaar, will ensure that customer onboarding is quick, paperless, and compliant with know-your-customer (KYC) norms.
Starlink’s onboarding with Aadhaar authentication signifies a powerful synergy, that is, India’s trusted digital identity joining hands with global satellite technology. Moreover, Aadhaar electronic KYC (eKYC) will facilitate the onboarding of users seamlessly, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements while delivering high-speed internet to households, businesses, and institutions. Aadhaar authentication by users will happen on a voluntary basis as per the existing rules.
The appointment of Starlink as a sub-authentication user agency and sub-eKYC user agency was done in the presence of chief executive officer (CEO), UIDAI; deputy director general, UIDAI; and director, Starlink India.
