NxtQuantum OS Debuts on AI+ Smartphone, Embracing Digital Self-Reliance, Data Security, and Transparency
NxtQuantum OS gives Indians full control over its smartphones and where user data is stored. It's built for the future, with AI at its core, and is designed to serve everyone, from everyday users to schools, government offices, and the public sector.
At the core of NxtQuantum OS is a clear and uncompromising idea: users should know where their data is, who can access it, and why. The system is built on Google Cloud's zero-trust security model and uses a consent-first approach to data access and storage. All personal data—such as preferences, usage history, and backups—is stored securely within India on MeitY-empanelled Google Cloud regions. There is no third-party access, no unauthorised tracking, and no foreign data routing. NxtQuantum OS delivers the speed and intelligence users expect, without compromising privacy or transparency.
'We've moved beyond treating privacy as a feature toggle,' said Madhav Sheth, Founder & CEO of NxtQuantum Shift Technologies. 'NxtQuantum OS was designed from first principles—your phone should work for you, not against you. What you do on your device stays with you. Not even we can access it. That's the level of trust and control this ecosystem will establish. And with Google Cloud's secure and scalable infrastructure we're proving that world-class privacy and national data governance can go hand in hand.' NxtQuantum OS is built in India, governed in India, and continuously updated via an India-based product stack. With system-level telemetry controls, a custom user interface, locally trained AI engines, and regulatory compliance embedded by design, NxtQuantum OS reclaims the mobile layer for Indian users, public institutions, and developers. It puts India back in charge of its digital backbone—securely, transparently, and on its own terms.
SashiKumar Sreedharan, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, added, 'Our collaboration with NxtQuantum reflects our commitment to enabling our customers to leverage digital infrastructure at scale, where user trust and cloud security come together to power next-generation experiences for Indians across the country.' 'This isn't just a product launch—it's a statement of intent,' added Sheth. With NxtQuantum OS, we are building our digital foundation, which is designed in India, governed in India, and aligned with our values of trust, transparency, and technological excellence. We're here to lead with clarity, confidence, and accountability.' NxtQuantum OS has been architected for nation-scale readiness. Its infrastructure supports the specific needs of enterprises seeking regulated mobile environments, state governments enabling digital inclusion, and sectors like defence, public services, and education that demand the highest-grade control over data and systems. With a dedicated India Design Centre now operational, NxtQuantum controls the entire software-hardware lifecycle, including OTA updates, security patches, and feature rollouts—all managed securely within Indian borders.
The first wave of AI smartphones running NxtQuantum OS will launch on Flipkart on 8th July at 12:30 PM IST About NxtQuantum Shift Technologies NxtQuantum Shift Technologies is a deep tech Indian software company building secure, independent digital platforms for the mobile-first world.

Nuvama, Angle One, BSE slide up to 7% after Sebi ban on Jane Street
Shares of India's capital market stocks took a hit on Friday after the market regulator barred US-based quant firm Jane Street from accessing the domestic securities market for allegedly manipulating the markets. To be sure, the direct impact was felt by Jane Street's local trading partner, Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd., whose shares plunged as much as 6.7 per cent, the worst since May 5 this year. Other stocks that saw a sentimental impact were BSE and Angel One, although different triggers also impacted the stocks. BSE's counter fell as much as 6.1 per cent, while Angel One's scrip plunged 7.3 per cent on Friday. Shares of listed depository CDSL fell over 2 per cent during the session. Sebi bans Jane Street after alleged illegal gain The Securities and Exchange Board of India barred Jane Street from accessing the domestic securities market for allegedly manipulating the markets. In an interim order, Sebi has also directed the high-frequency trading outfit to disgorge ₹4,844 crore made 'unlawfully'. Jane Street's modus operandi included building aggressive positions in the options segment and then influencing the price in the underlying stock market, where volumes tend to be relatively low, according to Sebi. The Sebi investigation found that Jane Street accounted for a significant portion of the net buying in the 12 Bank Nifty component stocks and their futures. The 'burst of buying' was intended to influence the price of these securities, which in turn allowed the firm to put on significantly larger and profitable positions in the highly liquid index options segment. As per the Sebi order, between January 2023 and March 2025, Jane Street earned ₹44,358 crore in options, lost ₹7,208 crore in stock futures, lost ₹191 crore in index futures, and another ₹288 crore in cash, pocketing an overall gain of ₹36,671 crore during this period. Angel One F&O option premium turnover falls Angel One reported a year-on-year decline in its futures and options (F&O) segment based on option premium turnover for the quarter ended June 2025 (Q1 FY26). The F&O option premium turnover fell 17.8 per cent to ₹13,500 crore, compared to ₹16,400 crore in the same period last year (Q1 FY25). The decline highlights moderation in the derivatives volumes after Sebi's action to curb retail frenzy. However, overall option premium turnover, which includes all segments, rose 40.0 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹1,048 crore, reflecting increased interest in non-F&O segments and broader market hedging. Angel One also saw a notable slowdown in trading activity during the June 2025 quarter (Q1 FY26), as key operational metrics declined year-on-year. The total number of orders executed on the platform fell 25.8 per cent to 343.11 million, while the average daily orders dropped 27.0 per cent to 5.62 million. Additionally, gross client acquisition declined sharply by 40 per cent Y-o-Y, with the company adding 1.45 million new clients during the quarter.

Volvo Cars pushes back large-scale production at new Slovak plant to early 2027
Volvo Cars has pushed back large-scale production at its factory under construction in Slovakia to early 2027 from 2026 to optimise the Swedish automaker's product launch timeline, a spokesperson said on Thursday. The spokesperson said the decision was not made recently, but declined to comment on when it was taken. The Gothenburg-based company, owned by China's Geely Holding , has not stated publicly which car will be produced at the plant in Kosice, but said on Tuesday it would be a next-generation Volvo model . Earlier on Thursday, Polestar, also owned by Geely, said in a separate statement that it would start producing its upcoming Polestar 7 SUV at the Kosice plant in 2028. The plant is expected to have an annual production capacity of 250,000 cars. In April, shortly after returning as the CEO of Volvo Cars, Hakan Samuelsson said the automaker was reviewing which cars it intended to produce at the factory, and that it would prefer to also build cars for other Geely brands there, such as Polestar. Sharing the plant would "be really good for us because, at the end, it's a cost that has to be carried with production volume in the factory," Samuelsson told analysts in April. Back at the helm, Samuelsson has made a number of big changes and cuts at the Swedish automaker, including cutting 3,000 white-collar jobs, launching a cost-cutting programme and slowing down investments. The Swede, who ran Volvo for over a decade until 2022, has been clear that he wants Volvo to become closer to the other Geely brands and utilise their supply chain in an effort to save costs.

Big, Beautiful Bill Explained: Is Trumps Latest Law A Game Changer For Indians Abroad? All You Need To Know
President Donald Trump has praised the broad tax and spending bill, which Congress passed in the early hours of Friday, as one of the most successful bills in the history of America. The wide-ranging bill will now be signed into law by the President later today, although its actual real-world impact is expected to differ considerably between various industries, income levels, and regions. The historic bill makes permanent the 2017 Trump tax cuts, restores some business deductions, reverses incentives for green energy, and institutes deep cuts in federal safety net programs. The bill is generally believed to bring significant benefits to corporations, top earners, and certain categories of workers, but other groups – low-income Americans, hospitals, and clean energy companies – are likely to suffer disadvantages. Implications For Indians In The US One major concession in the bill's final reading is a relief to the Indian diaspora. The initial plan had envisaged a 5 percent tax on remittances made to countries abroad such as India. This has been drastically lowered to only 1 percent in the bill's final reading, bringing immense relief to an estimated 4.5 million Indians who are settled in the US, out of whom 3.2 million are of Indian origin. The remittance tax, according to the bill, levies "a tax equal to 1 percent of the amount of such transfer" that shall "be paid by the sender." This provision will cover US residents who are not citizens, including Green Card holders, H-1B and H-2A visa holders, and foreign students. But, while the tax will target transfers made in cash, money orders, or cashier's checks, the transfers made through financial institutions or by way of US-issued debit/credit cards and using a 'qualified remittance transfer service' are exempt. This provision for a 1 percent tax, a cut from an initial House draft of 3.5 percent and the initial 5 percent, will target transfers initiated after December 31, 2025. Remittances: India's Lifeline Remittances are an important source of foreign earnings for India, sustaining millions of families and strengthening the overall economy of the country. According to data as of 2023, about 2.9 million Indians were living in the United States, which was the second-largest immigrant community there, reported the Migration Policy Institute. India got a record $129 billion in remittances in 2023-24, the highest in the world, of which 28 percent came from the U.S. alone, according to World Bank statistics. The share of India accounted for 14.3 percent of world remittance flows in the same year, the highest by a nation in the 21st century. For Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar, these remittances are not only beneficial but are viewed as vital to day-to-day survival and financial well-being by many families. The passing of this bill represents a signature legislative achievement of President Trump's presidency, striking a balance between deep tax cuts and steep cuts in government expenditure, aligning with his long-term economic and fiscal policy goals.
