IndiaThree Indian engineers—Sujoy Chakravarty, Ravi Mehta, and Biman Chattopadhyay—left their successful careers in semiconductor design after selling their company to Synopsys. They decided to pursue a new challenge: building a quantum computer in India. After extensive research, they chose to focus on photonic quantum computing, which operates at room temperature, unlike other methods requiring extreme cold. This decision led to the founding of Quanfluence, a Bengaluru-based startup working on commercial quantum computing systems. The team collaborated with academic experts like Professor Anil Prabhakar of IIT Madras and Professor Sandeep Goyal of IISER Mohali, as well as industry professionals, to develop their technology. Their goal is to establish India as a player in cutting-edge quantum computing.
