Bharti became a major investor in Eutelsat through its involvement with OneWeb, initially investing in the satellite broadband provider after it emerged from bankruptcy in 2020. In April 2021, Eutelsat acquired a 24% stake in OneWeb, where Bharti was already a key backer alongside the UK government. This paved the way for a full merger between Eutelsat and OneWeb, completed in 2023, creating the combined Eutelsat Group. As part of this consolidation, Bharti increased its stake and now holds around 24% of the merged entity. Later, the Bharti Group brought Eutelsat OneWeb to India to apply for a satcom licence and is now waiting for spectrum allocation to begin operations.
