XeedQ is in the process of setting up Quantum Information Technology Centres in Tamil Nadu and Telangana and is already in talks with the state governments in this regard.

This will be the first major such initiative in India by a private company, after Amazon Web Services (AWS) joined hands with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to set up the Quantum Computing Applications Lab (QCAL).

“Our aim is to democratise quantum computing and train youngsters in actual systems. "We are already in talks with the two state governments," said Gopi Balasubramanian, chief executive officer and founder of XeedQ.

The company has already signed a €30 million deal with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to develop a scalable quantum computing technology that could deliver a 32-qubit quantum computer by 2026.

This comes at a time when the government of India is also pushing quantum computing through the National Quantum Mission (NQM), with an allocation of Rs 6,000 crore, to develop intermediate-scale quantum computers with 50–1,000 physical qubits in the next eight years.

Quantum computing is the next-generation computing technology that is expected to revolutionise computer technology in terms of speed, capability, security, and more.

“These centres aim to boost regional quantum computing infrastructure, positioning India as a key player in the global quantum arena. Through the centres, we can contribute hardware and train students,” Balasubramanian said.
