In a move aimed at advancing next-generation technologies, Deloitte India has set up the Quantum Centre of Disruption for Enterprises (QCoDE) at the ASPIRE IIT-B Research Park Foundation on the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay campus. The initiative is designed to help Indian enterprises transition from early-stage quantum experimentation to practical, real-world deployment.
The centre brings together Deloitte’s global quantum network, IIT-B’s academic ecosystem, start-ups, technology partners and industry innovators. It aims to create a collaborative platform to accelerate quantum adoption across sectors.
Romal Shetty, CEO of Deloitte South Asia, said “India has the opportunity to be not just a consumer of quantum technologies, but a global innovation hub,” adding that the focus goes “beyond technology” to help Indian enterprises “build quantum strategies, develop talent and capture early economic value from quantum-enabled solutions.”
QCoDE will focus on key applications such as drug discovery using hybrid quantum-AI algorithms, supply-chain optimisation and quantum-safe cryptography. Dr. Rajappa Tadepalli, CEO of Aspire IITB Research Park Foundation, said the platform enables organisations “to evaluate where quantum can deliver tangible efficiency gains, optimisation improvements, and strategic differentiation.”
The centre is part of Deloitte’s global ecosystem and will support organisations across strategy, use-case identification, proof-of-concept and scaled deployment. Dr. Renata Jovanovic, Partner and Chief Scientific Officer at Deloitte South Asia, said the new centre “will serve as a catalyst for collaboration, bringing together academia, start-ups and global quantum leaders to solve complex industrial challenges across materials science, drug discovery, logistics optimisation and cybersecurity.”
