“India must urgently prepare itself for the quantum revolution to safeguard its security and national interests,” says Ajai Chowdhry, HCLTech co-founder and chairman of India's National Quantum Mission (NQM). NQM, announced in 2023 with a INR 6,000 crore investment, aims to catapult India's quantum technology capabilities. Collaborating with IT giants like TCS, HCL, and Tech Mahindra, this mission supports startups and scientists in this cutting-edge field. Despite the global landscape, with China leading at $15 billion in quantum investments, India's investment stands at $0.74 billion. With plans to develop 100-qubit computers in five years and initiatives like Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay's Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager, India is making strides. The private sector is crucial for this leap, and NQM is set to mentor and seed-fund 50 startups already in the quantum realm. With top-tier institutions and partnerships, India is not starting from scratch. Read the complete article to learn more Link in the comments below
