UIDAI onboards satcom major Starlink for Aadhar- based customer verification
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has onboarded satellite-based internet provider Starlink for customer verification, it said in a statement on Wednesday. Starlink Satellite Communication Pvt Ltd has been appointed as a sub-authentication user agency and sub-eKYC user agency.
Promoted by US tech billionaire Elon Musk, Starlink is the world’s largest space-based communication company, with a presence in over 125 countries. It got a license to operate satellite based broadband in India back in June. Starlink will now use Aadhaar authentication to verify customers, in a move that will make the entire process smooth, secure and very easy, UIDAI said.
