Elon Musk’s Starlink has taken its first office space in North India, leasing a 50-seater managed workspace with premium flexible office provider CorporatEdge,

according to people familiar with the development. The office is located at the World Trade Center in Nauroji Nagar, New Delhi—the same complex where OpenAI recently set up its first India office—underscoring the capital’s growing appeal to global technology firms. Earlier this month, Starlink briefly displayed home broadband pricing on its India website, fuelling speculation of an imminent launch. The company later clarified that the pricing update was a technical error. Industry sources said global tech players such as OpenAI and Starlink are choosing Delhi as their initial base in India to remain close to policymakers and key government stakeholders. Proximity to regulatory authorities is seen as critical, especially for companies operating in highly regulated sectors such as satellite communications. Demand for flexible, high-end office formats is also shaping these decisions. Managed offices offering premium amenities and hotel-style services are increasingly preferred by multinational firms seeking scalability and operational flexibility, a sector insider said. Starlink declined to comment on the development, while CorporatEdge also chose not to 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 overseas, taking 36,000 square feet in Dubai. In November, the Maharashtra government 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 grow to 125 million square feet by 2027, up from about 80 million square feet in 2024. Delhi-NCR is projected to account for nearly 25% of this expansion. Credit rating agency Icra notes that large enterprises now contribute 55–60% of total flex office demand, a significant shift from earlier years when startups dominated the segment. Starlink’s Delhi office follows the company’s smaller setup in Mumbai earlier in 2025, signalling a gradual but deliberate build-up of its India presence ahead of a potential nationwide rollout. The move highlights how global technology companies are increasingly anchoring themselves in India through premium, flexible workspaces—prioritising regulatory access, speed, and adaptability as they scale.
