The roadmap “Transforming India into a leading Quantum-Powered Economy” will help to build a home grown quantum computing ecosystem and capture a major share of the global quantum market.

• It aims to incubate at least 10 globally competitive quantum startups, each surpassing USD 100 million in revenue and  capturing over 50% of the value in the global quantum software and services market by 2035.

Status in India of Quantum Technology

• Talent Pool: India ranks 2nd globally in the number of graduates in quantum-relevant fields (approximately 91,000), behind only the EU.
• State-Level Competition: Different states are actively building their own ecosystems. For example, Karnataka has established the Quantum Research Park (QuRP), and Andhra Pradesh recently launched the Amaravati Quantum Valley (AQV).

Recommendations of Roadmap

• Expand the Quantum Workforce: Grow the scientific, deep engineering and professional deployment-ready workforce in 2-3 years. 
• Prioritization of Top 3-5 Quantum Opportunity Areas: Such as secure communication and  Health and Pharma, Cryogenics, Financial services, logistics etc.
• Accelerate Lab-to-Market Transition: Significantly improve ease of doing research, of technology validation and of taking technology from lab-to-market, within 2 years.
• Lead in Global Standard Setting: Engage actively with global standards bodies and take leadership in international standard setting related to quantum technologies to ensure that Indian products have access to global markets.
• Make Indian domicile attractive for startups: So that >90% deep tech Indian startups choose to stay domiciled in India.
