NxtQuantum OS Debuts on AI+ Smartphone, Embracing Digital Self-Reliance, Data Security, and Transparency
New Delhi [India], July 3: In a decisive step toward digital self-reliance, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies has announced the launch of NxtQuantum OS, India's first home-grown mobile operating system built for complete data integrity. Engineered from the ground up in India, this new platform is designed to deliver transparency, compatibility, data security, and performance, but without compromising control, privacy, and intelligence.
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

India-US trade deal: Donald Trump administration may cut tariff to below 20%; putting India in favourable position against other countries
This is an AI image. United States is working toward an interim trade agreement with India that could reduce proposed tariffs to below 20%, giving the country a more favorable position compared to other countries in the region. Unlike many nations, India is not expected to receive a formal tariff hike notice this week, and the agreement may be announced through an official statement, Bloomberg reported, quoting sources. The proposed interim trade deal between the two nations would allow both the sides to continue negotiations, giving India time to address unresolved issues before a broader agreement expected later this year, the source added. India, US near trade deal. What happens next if New Delhi joins Trump's shortlist? The planned agreement is likely to set a baseline tariff of under 20%, down from the 26% initially proposed, with provisions to allow further adjustments as part of a final pact. However, the exact timeline for the interim deal remains uncertain. If finalised, India would likely join a select group of nations that have reached trade arrangements with the Trump administration. In contrast, several other countries were hit with surprise tariff hikes of up to 50% this week, ahead of the August 1 deadline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 기미, 레이저말고 이렇게 해보세요 에스테틱최원장 Undo India is pushing for a more favourable deal than the one signed with Vietnam, which included 20% tariffs. Vietnam, caught off guard by the high rate, is now seeking a revision. So far, only the UK has officially signed trade deals with the Trump administration. Earlier on Thursday, Trump told NBC News that he is considering imposing blanket tariffs of 15% to 20% on most trading partners who haven't yet received specific rates. Currently, the baseline tariff for most US trade partners stands at 10%. For Asian countries, announced rates so far include 20% for Vietnam and the Philippines, and as high as 40% for Laos and Myanmar. Despite being among the earliest to initiate trade discussions this year, India-US relations have shown recent tensions. While Trump indicates an imminent agreement, he has also suggested additional tariffs regarding India's BRICS membership. An Indian negotiation team is expected to visit Washington soon to push forward trade talks. India has already made its final offer to the Trump administration and outlined its non-negotiable positions. The key sticking points remain, including the US demand for India to allow genetically modified (GM) crops, something New Delhi has firmly opposed, citing concerns for farmers, while the other unresolved issues include agricultural non-tariff barriers and regulatory hurdles in the pharmaceutical sector, the source added.

India can deliver 52 GW RTC clean power by 2030, save ₹9,000 crore annually: Report
New Delhi: India can deliver 52 gigawatts (GW) of round-the-clock (RTC) clean electricity by 2030 at a lower cost compared to annually matched clean energy, according to a new analysis by climate think tank TransitionZero. The 52 GW capacity would account for 70 per cent of a hypothetical RTC electricity portfolio designed to meet five per cent of India's national electricity demand. This shift to RTC procurement could result in annual savings of USD 1 billion (approximately ₹9,000 crore) for grid operators by 2030 due to avoided overbuild of generation capacity. According to the report, carbon emissions could be reduced by 2.4 per cent at the system level, with the cost of carbon abatement three times lower than annual matching of clean energy. At full 100 per cent RTC matching, India-wide emissions could be reduced by seven per cent compared to annual matching. RTC clean electricity, or 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE), matches every hour of electricity consumption with supply from clean sources. The report noted that unlike annual renewable energy certificates, RTC ensures clean power is available consistently across all hours. This is particularly relevant for sectors like heavy industry and data centres, where electricity demand is continuous. 'Our model shows that in India commercial and industrial customers can meet 70 per cent of their hourly electricity demand with carbon-free electricity at a cost below that of annual renewable energy matching, while driving greater levels of decarbonisation and providing significant benefits to the Indian electricity system,' said Irfan Mohamed, South Asia Analyst at TransitionZero. The report highlighted that incentivising RTC electricity procurement is critical for least-cost grid planning. It noted that India can avoid issues being experienced in Europe, where excess solar capacity has contributed to a decline in power purchase agreement (PPA) capture rates, particularly in Spain. 'Round-the-clock clean electricity planning and procurement is a 'no regrets' option for India's energy planners, grid operators, and large corporations,' said Matt Gray, Co-founder and CEO at TransitionZero. 'It shows that companies can procure hourly-matched clean electricity at minimal extra cost, and grid operators can save money through least-cost grid planning. In doing so, governments can help deliver the energy transition at the lowest cost.' The findings come as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) undergoes a multi-year revision, with updates to Scope 2 guidance being considered. Hourly emissions accounting is emerging as a preferred method, though the GHGP does not set targets or rank performance levels.

GST notices based on UPI data: Tax department
BENGALURU: Following reports of notices issued to small traders by the Commercial Tax Department, the state government clarified on Friday that the action was based on data collected from Unified Payments Interface (UPI) service providers to ensure compliance with Goods and Services Tax (GST) laws. Under the GST Act, in force since July 1, 2017, suppliers with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 40 lakh (for goods) or Rs 20 lakh (for services) are required to register for GST. This turnover includes both taxable and exempt goods and services, although tax is applicable only on taxable items. The department said while essential items like bread are exempt from GST, packaged snacks attract a 5% tax. It said UPI-based transaction data from 2021–22 to 2024–25 showed that many traders had received over Rs 40 lakh via UPI alone, excluding cash and other payment methods, indicating even higher total turnover. Based on this data, the department issued notices to traders. ENS
