## About

Based in Karnataka, India, QuNu Labs Private Limited was founded in 2016 by Sunil Gupta and Srinivasa Rao Aluri, and was incubated at IIT Madras to build quantum-safe cryptography for critical communications. As of September 2026, the company is led by its CEO, Sunil Gupta. In September 2026, QNu Labs raised INR 2 Billion in a Series A1 equity round led by the National Quantum Mission and Speciale Invest, with participation from Sony Innovation Fund, Gaja Capital and Artha Ventures, to accelerate research and development and scale sales and go-to-market operations in India and global markets. QNu Labs develops a full-stack quantum-safe security portfolio. Armos delivers Quantum Key Distribution over point-to-point links, Tropos is a Quantum Random Number Generator providing NIST ESV-certified entropy, and Hodos provides NIST-compliant Post-Quantum Cryptography that deploys on existing infrastructure. The QShield platform unifies QRNG, QKD, PQC and key management into one crypto-agile platform, with QShield 2.0 powering the National Cryptographic Assessment & Assurance Framework for cryptographic discovery, risk assessment and continuous assurance. Products are deployed across banking and finance, government and defence, telecom, automotive and healthcare. QNu Labs earns revenue from sales of quantum-security hardware and software products in India and from subscription-based enterprise platform services in its international business, serving sectors such as banking and healthcare. The QShield platform is licensed, controlling usage of its functionality and services. The company plans to use its September 2026 Series A1 funding to accelerate research and development, scale sales and go-to-market operations across India and global markets, and fund its contribution to the approved RDI project building the technology backbone of India's Quantum Secure and Sensing Networks. QNu Labs also plans to extend its quantum-safe technology stack into quantum sensing and artificial intelligence, and intends to build a 2,000-km live quantum key distribution network between Bengaluru and Delhi.
