Bharti Space Limited

About Bharti Space Limited

Bharti Space Limited is the investment and holding vehicle used by the Bharti group in Eutelsat Communications’ governance structure to represent Bharti’s strategic ownership stake. At Eutelsat, the company is represented on the Board of Directors by Akhil Gupta, who has served in that capacity since September 28, 2023. This appointment came in the context of the Eutelsat-OneWeb combination, a transformative transaction that created an integrated GEO-LEO satellite group and elevated Bharti to the position of reference shareholder. Eutelsat states that Bharti Space Limited is a board member and participates in key committees, including Audit, Risk and Compliance, Compensation, and Corporate Social Responsibility. Within the Bharti ecosystem, Bharti Space Limited reflects a long-term strategic focus on space communications, digital infrastructure, and international partnerships. Bharti has emphasized that the Eutelsat-OneWeb transaction fits into a broader ambition to advance global connectivity, with Bharti as the largest shareholder of the combined group. In that setting, Bharti Space Limited plays a governance and strategic oversight role rather than a direct operating role. Its presence on Eutelsat’s board supports alignment between industrial priorities, financial discipline, and long-term value creation. In terms of expertise, Bharti Space Limited is closely associated with the Bharti group’s track record in building major partnerships, executing public listings, and working with leading global telecom and technology operators. For Eutelsat, that background is especially relevant in a capital-intensive industry defined by scale, international coordination, and the rapid growth of high-speed connectivity demand. Bharti Space Limited’s role at Eutelsat therefore illustrates an engaged governance model focused on risk oversight and support for a global industrial strategy.
