Indian Startup Unveils Quantum-Safe Platform to Secure Enterprises

15 Apr 2025 CW Team

QNu Labs, a startup selected by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) under the National Quantum Mission (NQM), has launched the world’s first and truly unique platform, QShield, which facilitates seamless cryptography management across any environment—be it cloud, on-premises, or hybrid—on the occasion of World Quantum Day.

QShield enables enterprises to safeguard their critical infrastructure at scale. Built using QNu’s proprietary technologies—Quantum Key Distribution (Armos), Quantum Random Number Generator (Tropos), Quantum Hardware Security Module (QHSM), and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) compliant with NIST standards—QShield delivers an end-to-end solution for securing sensitive data both in transit and at rest.

The launch of this platform marks another significant milestone in India’s pursuit of global leadership in quantum technologies.

QShield powers a suite of services: Qosmos for key generation, QConnect for secure connectivity, QVerse for secure collaboration, QSFS for protected file storage and sharing, and QVault for key management. These services collectively provide enterprises with a pathway to quantum-proof their critical and diverse infrastructures. With unified management, flexible deployment options, and easy integration with third-party services, QShield equips organisations to protect their vital data today—while preparing them for a secure, quantum-ready tomorrow.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots. This change is expected to streamline approvals, reduce procedural delays and accelerate redevelopment, drawing reactions from developers, planners and industry experts about its implications for Mumbai’s vertical growth.Under the revised DCPR 2034 rules, buildings on plots of 2,000 sq m or more can now be approved up to 180 m by the municipal commissioner, provided structural and geotechnical reports are certified b..
