Full-stack photonic quantum computing from Bengaluru
Quanfluence is a Bengaluru-based, IIT Madras-incubated startup building a scalable continuous-variable photonic quantum computer, integrating indigenously designed photonic chips, control electronics and software into one full-stack architecture. It has commercialised OPTIQON, a hardware-accelerated optical Ising machine for large combinatorial optimisation problems, and also builds photonic hardware modules such as balanced detectors, room-temperature single photon detectors and a quantum random number generator. Founded in 2021; CEO Sujoy Chakravarty. In October 2026 it raised $10M led by Chiratae Ventures with Rainmatter by Zerodha and Pi Ventures, after a $2M seed in December 2024. It targets early processors by 2027.
