On World Quantum Day (April 14, 2025), Bengaluru-based startup QpiAI—one of eight startups selected under India’s National Quantum Mission (NQM)—launched QpiAI-Indus, a 25-qubit superconducting quantum computer. This marks a significant milestone in India’s quantum technology landscape, positioning QpiAI-Indus as the nation’s most powerful quantum computer.
The National Quantum Mission, approved in April 2023 with a budget of ₹6,003.65 crore, aims to develop intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50–1,000 qubits over the next eight years. QpiAI’s achievement aligns with the mission’s objectives, contributing to India’s goal of becoming a global leader in quantum technologies.
