星链印度公司总裁桑杰·巴尔加瓦辞职
“由于个人原因，我辞去了星链印度公司国家总监和董事会主席的职务……我的最后一个工作日是2021年12月31日。我不会对个人和媒体发表评论，所以请尊重我的隐私。”
“我已辞去国家主任和董事会主席的职务我们印度我最后一个工作日是2021年12月31日。我不会对个人和媒体发表评论，所以请尊重我的隐私。”Bhargava周二晚些时候，领英上的一篇帖子说。
Bhargava意外辞职的同时，Starlink也启动了退还大约7000多名印度公民99美元(约7400卢比)押金的程序，这些公民已经从马斯克的SpaceX的卫星宽带部门预订了连接。
就在一个多月前，印度通信部禁止星链为其即将在印度推出的太空宽带服务寻求任何预订，因为它仍然没有当地许可证或必要的授权。印度电信监管局(Trai)随后也要求星链在没有必要授权的情况下“停止招揽电信业务和收取相关费用”。

<\/figure>Kolkata: Sanjay Bhargava<\/a>, the head of Elon Musk-led Starlink<\/a>\u2019s India operation, has resigned in the backdrop of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the sector regulator rebuking the US major's Indian arm for taking pre-bookings without any licence or authorisation to offer satellite broadband services in the country.\u201cI have stepped down as Country Director and Chairman of the Board of Starlink India<\/a> for personal reasons\u2026my last working day was December 31, 2021. I will have no comments for individuals and media so please respect my privacy,\u201d Bhargava<\/a> said in a late Tuesday evening LinkedIn post.
Bhargava\u2019s surprise resignation also coincided with Starlink kicking off the process of refunding the $99 (Rs 7,400 approx) deposits it had collected from around 7,000-odd Indian citizens who had pre-booked a connection from the satellite broadband arm of Musk\u2019s SpaceX.
<\/div><\/div>Bhargava had taken charge of Starlink\u2019s India operation on October 1 as its country director. He had previously worked with Musk as part of a global team that had founded electronic payments firm, PayPal.
Just over a month ago, the communications ministry had barred Starlink from seeking any pre-bookings for its upcoming broadband-from-space service in India as it still does not have a local licence or the necessary authorisation. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) too had subsequently asked Starlink to \u201cdesist from soliciting telecom business and collecting related fees,\u201d without the necessary authorisations.
