Bengaluru-based QNu Labs, a quantum cybersecurity startup has raised Rs 60 crore in a Series A round led by the National Quantum Mission (NQM) with Rs 25 crore, marking the government's first strategic investment in a private deep tech startup in quantum communications.
The IIT-Madras incubated startup has developed commercially ready - indigenous, deep-tech solutions for quantum computers.
Once fully developed, these computers could easily break today's encryption methods that secure everything from banking transactions to defence secrets.
Anticipating this risk-much like building seatbelts for a future car crash, QNu Labs offers quantum key distribution (QKD) systems and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) tools that can secure sensitive data.
The Series A round was led by Department of Science and Technology's NQM with participation from Lucky Investment, Speciale Invest, Tenacity Ventures and Singularity AMC.
QNu Labs so far has raised a total funding of $20 million.
