QNu Labs Is Building India’s Quantum-Safe Cybersecurity Future

When digital payments soared post-demonetisation, Sunil Gupta saw the missing link—digital trust. In 2016, he co-founded QNu Labs, betting on quantum cryptography instead of AI to build India’s own secure cyber platform. The IIT-Madras-incubated startup now builds quantum-safe chips, encryption hardware, and cloud security tools for India’s defence and critical sectors, recently raising ₹60 crore to scale globally.
