NxtQuantum Shift Technologies recorded over Rs 965 crore in revenue in its first shortened financial year and crossed Rs 1,650 crore in Q1 FY27. The company is now expanding investments across software, engineering, testing and R&D as part of its larger ambition to build a globally competitive Indian smartphone brand.

 

Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai+ Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, said, “India has already established itself as one of the world’s largest smartphone markets and manufacturing hubs. The next opportunity is to build globally competitive technology brands from India. With Ai+, our focus is on taking global industry learnings and progressively building stronger capabilities across software, R&D, engineering and intellectual property within the country.”

 

The company has invested approximately Rs 60 crore towards software development, engineering and server infrastructure in India and plans to further strengthen its R&D capabilities, including building a team of over 150 engineers.

 

Ai+ believes the next phase of India’s electronics growth will be driven not only by manufacturing scale but also by greater domestic ownership of technology, design, software and intellectual property.

 

Sheth added, “Our ambition goes beyond selling smartphones. We want to build deeper technology capabilities in India and contribute towards creating an ecosystem that can eventually compete at a global level.”

 

As Ai+ smartphone enters its next phase of growth, it remains committed to advancing indigenous technology, strengthening India’s innovation ecosystem and building a globally competitive smartphone brand from India.
