Quanfluence
DLI Beneficiary
TipWhy This Matters
Founded 2021 by a six-person team of ex-Texas Instruments engineers (CEO Sujoy Chakravarty and co-founders), with offices in Bengaluru and Pune. One of only two Indian companies building commercial quantum computers (the other being QpiAI), and the only one using a room-temperature, photonics-based approach rather than superconducting circuits requiring deep cryogenic cooling.
What does this firm design?
A photonics-based Optical Ising Machine — a room-temperature hardware optimiser currently handling up to 20,000 variables (next-gen version targeting 100,000), with a full qubit-based system roadmapped for 2029.
