About Quanshium
Deep-tech company building quantum-safe infrastructure security
Quanshium AI Core develops rugged security gateways for critical infrastructure and defence. Incorporated in 2026, DPIIT-recognised and incubated at NIT Rourkela.
Our origin
From a quantum-secure grid to QUANSHIELD
Quanshium began with a hard problem: how to secure and optimise the next-generation smart grid using quantum, AI and blockchain. Incubated at the Foundation for Technology and Business Incubation (FTBI), NIT Rourkela, that work grew into QUANSHIELD, a quantum-safe gateway now spanning nine critical-infrastructure sectors.
Today we work across quantum security, defence systems, edge AI, blockchain settlement and cyber resilience, with hardware designed for field deployment.
