For decades, India’s tech story has been defined by IT services. But on Young Turks Reloaded, Co-founder & CEO of QNu Labs Sunil Gupta & Founder & CEO of QpiAI Nagendra Nagaraja tell Shereen Bhan the next chapter will be written in qubits, not code.
QpiAI has built India’s most powerful 25-qubit quantum computer. It is now setting up the country’s first quantum fabrication foundry in Bengaluru & a Quantum Supremacy Centre to solve real-world challenges like weather forecasting & agriculture productivity.
If QpiAI is building machines, QNu Labs is ensuring they don’t get hacked. Gupta envisions a ‘Quantum Dome’ for India, which will serve as a nationwide shield of quantum encryption to protect defence, cloud, satellites, drones, even everyday Wi-Fi.
In quantum communication, India already leads most nations, except China, but in computing, competition is tougher. Yet, Nagaraja believes India’s creativity & innovation can bridge the gap. Both warn that the geopolitics of quantum could be more fraught than AI, with export restrictions &, what Gupta calls, a looming “quantum war”.
Their core message remains that India must shift from services to products. “In services, you solve someone else’s problem. In products, you solve your own big problems and scale globally,” says Gupta. But technology alone won’t cut it. Nagaraja cautions, “The I.T. era is over. Without a quantum-literate workforce, we’ll miss the wave.”

Fact is that, be it American Express, or State Street, or JP Morgan, or Citi.. All just call up any IT vendor till date and ask for Staff to work for them, Contractors in mean to say..
Technology, Infra and Cloud support.
So what these guys are telling may be true in future years, but from past 25 Years, i have been seeing big IT Companies ONLY working on Staffing Model, and that will continue for many more years.
Great to see such innovative start-ups emergency from India 😊
Brilliant conversation
Our IT giants need to focus on products as well not just services
Very informational I love it
Absolutely loves this… Host asking relevant questions. Which won't see in media… Good job
Proud ❤
US has over 1000 qubits of quantum computing and China has claimed to have 504 (that’s questionable because it’s China)… But glad to see that India has 64 qubits by end of this year.. Good going 🇮🇳!!
Big love! Outstanding work. Great podcast. Thank you!!
Congratulations to Shereen Bhan for conducting one of the finest interviews and bringing out the best from Sunil Gupta, Co-founder & CEO of QNu Labs, and Nagendra Nagaraja, Founder & CEO of QpiAI. My best wishes to both visionary leaders for building deep-tech quantum computing companies that are shaping India’s future.❤
