BISAG-N and QNu Labs Sign MoU for
collaboration and technology transfer to
Strengthen India’s Quantum-Resilient
Cybersecurity Capabilities
प्रव तथ: 28 JAN 2026 7:46PM by PIB Delhi
The Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N), under the
Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), today signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with QNu Labs Pvt. Ltd. to collaborate in the area of quantum-resilient
cybersecurity solutions.
The MoU was signed in the presence of Shri Jitin Prasada, Union Minister of State for Commerce &
Industry and Electronics & Information Technology,Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics
and Information Technology, senior officials from MeitY, and leadership teams from BISAG-N and QNu
Labs.
As advancements in quantum computing continue globally, the need to prepare digital infrastructure
against future cybersecurity risks has gained strategic importance. This collaboration aims to strengthen
India’s preparedness by advancing indigenous, quantum-safe cybersecurity capabilities, aligned with
national priorities.
Under this partnership, BISAG-N’s indigenous cryptographic software capabilities, including “Vedic
Kavach,” will be integrated with quantum hardware and secure infrastructure platforms provided by QNu
Labs. BISAG-N has developed Vedic Kavach and has undertaken one of the early government-ledimplementations in India covering quantum-resilient web servers and an indigenous secure web browser,
integrated with Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG).
The MoU establishes a structured framework for technology transfer, integration, and deployment,
enabling the development of hardware-backed, quantum-resilient cybersecurity solutions for use across
government systems, defence networks, critical infrastructure, and public sector platforms, in accordance
with applicable policies.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Jitin Prasada, Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry and
Electronics & Information Technology stated:
“India is building digital technologies not only for today, but for the next generation. As digital systems
become more pervasive, it is essential that they remain secure for decades to come.”
Secretary Shri S. Krishnan, MeitY, highlighted:
“As India’s digital ecosystem expands across sectors such as finance, governance, and citizen-centric
services, ensuring long-term security of data and digital transactions has become a critical priority. The
adoption of quantum-resilient cybersecurity technologies is the need of the hour to safeguard sensitive
information and maintain trust in digital systems.”
Commenting on the collaboration, the Chief Growth Officer, QNu Labs Pvt. Ltd., stated:
“QNu Labs has followed an India-first and country-centric approach to technology development from its
inception. This collaboration with BISAG-N represents a strategic step towards building indigenous
quantum-resilient cybersecurity capabilities, ensuring that India stays ahead of emerging global security
challenges. By combining government-developed indigenous software with Indian-designed quantum
hardware, we are strengthening national digital security in a self-reliant and forward-looking manner,
aligned with India’s long-term strategic interests.”
Senior officials highlighted that the collaboration reflects the importance of government–industry
partnerships in addressing emerging technology challenges and enabling the transition from research to
practical deployment.
The collaboration also provides a framework for future technology-related development in the domain of
quantum-resilient cybersecurity, aligned with evolving national requirements and emerging security
challenges.
The MoU is aligned with the objectives of the National Quantum Mission, Digital India, Atmanirbhar
Bharat, and the long-term vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, reinforcing India’s commitment to secure,
trusted, and future-ready digital infrastructure.
