QNu Labs (or QuNu Labs Private Limited) is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Bengaluru, India. It is credited to be the first firm in India to successfully develop commercial cybersecurity products using quantum physics.[1] It has a subsidiary called QNu Labs Inc, which was set up in Massachusetts, US in 2019.[2]
The company was founded in 2016 by Sunil Gupta, Srinivasa Rao Aluri, Mark Mathias, Pravin Kini, and Anil Prabhakar.[3] It was incubated at Indian Institute of Technology-Madras and later began operations in Bengaluru.
After conducting field trials for its quantum key distribution product, QNu Labs received support from Cisco Launchpad in 2018.[1] Subsequently, it launched two products—a quantum key distributor called Armos and a quantum random number generator called Tropos—for national and international markets in 2020[4]. In April of 2026, the Indian government announced QNu Labs, under the National Quantum Mission, developed 1000-km quantum communication network[5].
