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

Peace time is nothing but 'illusion': Rajnath Singh
ANI Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Peace time is nothing but an "illusion", and India must remain prepared for uncertainty even during periods of relative calm, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said while hailing the armed forces for the valour they displayed during Operation an address at an event, Singh said the performance of the indigenously built equipment and platforms in the operation increased the global demand for India-built military products."The world is looking at our defence sector with new respect. A single delay or error in financial processes can directly affect operational preparedness," he said."Most of the equipment we once imported is now being made in India. Our reforms are succeeding because of the clarity of vision and commitment at the highest level," he said. The defence minister was addressing the Controllers' Conference of the Defence Accounts Department (DAD). "A single delay or error in financial processes can directly affect operational preparedness," he said, and called on the DAD to evolve from a "controller" to a "facilitator" in sync with increasing participation of the private sector in into the larger geopolitical situation, the defence minister cited an analysis by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which said the global military expenditure reached USD 2.7 trillion in opens up tremendous opportunities for India's indigenous defence industries, he defence minister praised the DAD's new motto "Alert, Agile, Adaptive" and noted that these are not mere words, but a reflection of the work culture required in today's rapidly evolving defence urged officials to undertake internal reform through self-introspection, rather than relying solely on external audits or consultants. "Improvements made through internal evaluation create living organisations. These reforms are more organic, with fewer barriers. "Peace time is nothing but an illusion. Even during periods of relative calm, we must prepare for uncertainty. Sudden developments can force a complete shift in our financial and operational posture," he said."Whether it's stepping up equipment production or adapting financial processes, we must be ready with innovative techniques and responsive systems at all times," he urged the DAD to incorporate this mindset into their planning, budgeting and decision-making the increasing strategic and economic significance of the defence sector, Singh called for a shift in perception from defence spending as mere expenditure to an economic investment with multiplier impact. "Until recently, defence budgets were not seen as part of the national economy. Today, they are growth drivers," he added. Singh said India, along with the rest of the world, is entering a new phase of re-armament, marked by capital-intensive investments in the defence sector. The defence minister called upon the DAD to incorporate defence economics in their planning and assessments, including social impact analysis of R&D projects and dual-use technologies.

Companies tried using AI to cut costs. Now they're paying humans to fix its errors
When artificial intelligence became the biggest buzzword in tech, companies hoped it would help them slash headcount and save money. Instead, companies that rushed to replace staff with AI are now rehiring humans to fix its mistakes – and spending a fortune in the process. How using AI to cut costs has backfired for some companies (iStock) According to a BBC report, there is a burgeoning industry for software engineers and writers who are being hired to fix the mistakes made by AI. The trouble with AI Take the example of Sarah Skidd. When a content agency reached out to Sarah Skidd in May, they were in a bind. The website copy they had commissioned from a generative AI tool for a hospitality client wasn't up to the mark — and they needed it rewritten urgently. "It was the kind of copy that you typically see in AI copy – just very basic; it wasn't interesting," Skidd explained. "It was supposed to sell and intrigue but instead it was very vanilla." Skidd, a product marketing manager in Arizona who writes for tech and start-up companies, took 20 hours to rewrite the copy from scratch. At her usual rate of $100 an hour, the agency ended up paying $2,000. Skidd isn't worried about AI replacing her. In fact, it's giving her more business. "Maybe I'm being naive, but I think if you are very good, you won't have trouble," she told BBC. The rise of AI She's not alone. Many writers she knows are now being hired not to create new content, but to fix the errors AI-generated text leaves behind. Over the past few years, AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini have become popular in business circles, seen as ways to streamline workflows and cut down costs. A recent survey by the UK's Federation of Small Businesses found that 35% of small firms plan to expand their AI use within two years. But Skidd's experience, and those of others like her, suggests that there may still be a long way to go before AI can match up to human standards. Sophie Warner, co-owner of Hampshire-based digital marketing agency Create Designs, says that in the last six to eight months, there has been an increase in the number of clients who want to fix the mess created by AI. "Before clients would message us if they were having issues with their site or wanted to introduce new functionality," Warner told BBC. "Now they are going to ChatGPT first." But adding code generated by ChatGPT has made some websites prone to crashing and vulnerable to attacks. In one case, a client asked ChatGPT how to update their event page – something Warner says would have taken just 15 minutes manually. But instead, the AI-generated code caused their website to crash, costing the business three days of downtime and about £360 in recovery costs. "We often have to charge an investigation fee to find out what has gone wrong, as they don't want to admit it, and the process of correcting these mistakes takes much longer than if professionals had been consulted from the beginning," said Warner.

Setback for Turkish firm Celebi as Delhi HC junks plea against revocation of security clearance
The Delhi high court on Monday dismissed Turkey-based firm Celebi Aviation's plea against the revoking of its security clearance in India. Celebi provided ground handling services at nine key airports in India. Celebi entered India's aviation industry through the Mumbai airport in 2008. (REUTERS/File) Celebi Aviation's security clearance was revoked by the Centre over national security concerns. The firm's licence was cancelled by the security wing of the ministry of civil aviation – the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). In its filing, the firm called the decision 'unsustainable', while saying that no proper reason had been given for the revocation, and that it was done without prior notice, News 18 reported. The firm had entered India's aviation industry through the Mumbai airport in 2008, eventually expanding its services to Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Cochin, Kannur, Goa (GOX), and Ahmedabad. It assisted in flight operations, passenger services, cargo handling, bridge operation and warehouse management. The company was founded in 1958 and is currently present in 70 locations across the globe. Why did Celebi come under the BCAS scanner? The Centre revoked the firm's security clearance in May earlier this year. The aviation security regulator had said in a statement that the decision was taken due to 'national interests'. While BCAS did not provide any official reason for the revocation, the decision came in the backdrop of India's heightened tensions with Turkey after it backed Pakistan. Turkey also condemned India's counter-terrorism military strikes against Pakistan under Operation Sindoor. Minister of State for Civil Aviation and Cooperation, Murlidhar Mohol, also said that the decision had been taken in view of 'the call to protect national interests'. Following the BCAS order, Celebi Aviation India said they had no 'political affilitations' or 'links to any foreign government or individuals'. 'We are not a Turkish organisation by any standard and adhere fully to globally accepted practices of corporate governance, transparency, and neutrality, with no political affiliations or links to any foreign government or individuals," the firm said.
