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 were 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

Ease of doing business: Telangana govt allows 10-hr workdays for commercial establishment. Here's what changes for you…
Workers tied to commercial establishments in Telangana may have longer work weeks to look forward to, as the state government has announced a new policy permitting up to 10 hour workdays, according to an ANI report. The policy is subject to specific labour safeguards to ensure the protection of workers, and comes as Telangana aims to improve the ease of doing business, and offer greater flexibility to businesses, the report added. The new policy outlines that the total working hours for an employee must not exceed 48 hours in a week. The government has mandated that any work performed beyond the 48-hour weekly limit must be compensated with overtime wages. If an employee works for more than six hours in a single day, they are entitled to take a rest break of 30 minutes. The total work duration in a day, including overtime, must not exceed 12 hours under any circumstance. The maximum overtime is capped at 144 hours per quarter. Notably, various industrialists and CEOs in India have been advocating for increased work hours and debating over how much more work hours is needed, to much public blowback. But, there have also been some on the opposite side of the spectrum, advocating instead for work-life balance and quality of work vs quantity. Earlier this year, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra joined in on the work hours debate, noting that quality of work is more important, than the quantity of work. On the other side, Infosys' co-founder Narayana Murthy and Larsen & Toubro Chairman SN Subrahmanyan took the brunt of public trolling and criticism for suggesting that Indians should work 70 hour and 90 hours each week, respectively. In April 2023, the Tamil Nadu Assembly also passed the Factories (Amendment) Act 2023, which extended working hours for factory workers from eight to 12-hour daily. However, the government assured that the total working hours in a week would remain unchanged for workers, and instead they would have the option to work for four days in a week and avail of three days of leave. Notably, several countries, particularly in Europe are experimenting with or have adopted a four-day workweek.

5 key triggers for Sensex, Nifty next week; India-US trade deal, Q1 earnings, FPI flows
The Indian stock market is poised for a volatile week as multiple global and domestic cues unfold simultaneously. The top factors influencing investor sentiment include the anticipated India-US trade deal, the kick-off of Q1 FY26 earnings, foreign capital flows, monsoon progress, and the release of the US Federal Reserve's June meeting minutes. During the week ended July 4, both the Nifty 50 and Sensex slipped 0.70%, snapping their two-week winning streak. Profit-booking, foreign capital outflows, and uncertainty over trade negotiations between India and the US weighed on the indices. According to Ajit Mishra, SVP at Religare Broking, "Investors are cautious ahead of global trade deadlines and earnings. A potential interim trade agreement between India and the US may limit downside risks, but clear outcomes are crucial." While large-cap indices corrected, mid- and small-cap segments continued their upward march. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.5%, and the Smallcap 100 rose 0.3%, showing resilience amid broader volatility. Here are 5 major triggers for the markets in the coming week: 1. India-US Trade Deal The unresolved trade pact between India and the US remains a top market trigger. With US President Donald Trump's July 9 deadline approaching, investor anxiety is growing. Although Indian negotiators returned from Washington last week, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal reiterated that India will not commit to any deal unless it serves the national interest. A breakthrough could boost export-heavy sectors such as IT, pharma, and auto components. In contrast, any deadlock may dent near-term sentiment. 2. Q1 FY26 Earnings Season India Inc's Q1 results will start rolling in this week. IT bellwether TCS and Tata Elxsi will release their earnings on July 10, followed by DMart on July 11. Investors will watch closely for growth guidance, margin trends, and demand commentary, which will likely set the tone for sectoral momentum. 3. Monsoon Progress India's southwest monsoon has shown healthy progress, with cumulative June rainfall exceeding the long-period average by nearly 9%. Improved monsoon activity is aiding kharif crop sowing, which is up by 11% year-on-year. With the IMD forecasting active rainfall over the next week, monsoon trends will continue to be a crucial macroeconomic monitor for inflation and rural demand. 4. Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) Trends So far in July, FPIs have pulled out ₹5,773 crore from Indian equities amid uncertainty and valuation concerns. Experts suggest that clarity on the trade deal and robust Q1 earnings could reverse this trend. According to VK Vijayakumar of Geojit Financial, "A breakthrough in India-US trade talks and strong corporate earnings could revive FPI interest." 5. US Fed Minutes Global markets will keep a close watch on the minutes of the US Federal Reserve's June 17–18 meeting. These insights will offer clues on the Fed's stance regarding inflation and potential interest rate cuts. Though a September rate cut is still expected, recent jobs data hint at a resilient labor market, possibly delaying policy easing. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has stated that the inflationary impact of tariffs may start appearing in the coming months, suggesting a cautious Fed in the near term.
