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

‘Try before you hire' trend grows as 50% internships turn into job offers; rigorous selection process by GCCs
HYDERABAD: Internships are increasingly enabling young people to secure jobs at Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and startups, with many of these organisations adopting a 'try before you hire' approach to assess potential fulltime recruits. According to the latest NASSCOM report, GCCs are employing a rigorous selection process that evaluates not only a candidate's understanding of core programming principles and emerging technologies but also crucial soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Startups, meanwhile, are offering interns the chance to work on real-world projects, allowing them to evaluate candidates more effectively. 'At least 50% of internships are being converted into job offers. In fact, a couple of our students secured packages worth 35 lakh after completing a six-month internship with one of the world's top IT companies,' said J Upendar from the University College of Engineering, Osmania University.

CPI(M) Alleges Ties to Abhishek Banerjee, Massive Corruption in Deocha-Pachami Coal Project
Bankura: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded a judicial inquiry into the controversial Deocha-Pachami coal mining project in Birbhum district of West Bengal. At a press conference held on July 3 at the party's state headquarters on Alimuddin Street, CPI(M) state secretary Mohammed Salim alleged large-scale corruption, environmental violations, and illegal tender procedures, accusing both the Trinamool Congress (TMC)-led state government and the BJP-led Union government of complicity. Salim presented evidence alleging that the state government secured environmental clearance for the project fraudulently. He claimed the union environment ministry had granted clearance for a mere 12 acres, despite the project's actual size being over 431 hectares, which would necessitate a mandatory public hearing and full environmental scrutiny as a Category A project. 'This environmental certificate is practically fraudulent and was given under the auspices of the BJP-led Union government. Both the Centre and the state are responsible,'alleged Salim. The West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited (WBPDCL) awarded the mining contract in March 2024 to Trancemarine & Confreight Logistics Pvt Ltd, a Mumbai-based firm with no prior mining experience, at a 71.05% revenue share. In April, 2025 Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd, a Kolkata-based firm, acquired 60% of Trancemarine for a mere Rs 4.23 crore. Himadri also issued a Rs 150 crore loan to Sturdy Niketan, an obscure entity with no turnover, allegedly for royalty payments. According to a company release, Trancemarine's annual turnover for FY23-24 was Rs 35.69 crore, much higher than what Himadri is paying for its acquisition. 'Once someone is given a tender, it cannot be passed to someone else. This is a direct violation of WBPDCL policy. Sturdy Niketan, which has zero income, is being used as a front for illicit financial flows,' Salim claimed. Interestingly, Himadri Chemicals, now central to the project, had earlier invested in Tidings Media & Communication Pvt Ltd, which acquired the Bengali daily Ei Samay from the Times Group. One of Tidings' major stakeholders is Sanjay Basu, known to be a legal advisor and close confidante of both Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her nephew, the Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee. In February 2025, CM Banerjee claimed at the Bengal Global Business Summit that coal mining had begun at Deucha-Pachami and promised over one lakh jobs. However, CPI(M) pointed out that WBPDCL has not even submitted the required geological report or mining plan to the Union coal ministry, 66 months after the coal block was allotted in overall project, including basalt mining, is expected to generate over Rs 1,500 crore in profits, raising serious questions about insider profiteering. 'Where is the coal? It was said that above 100,000 people would be employed, where is employment? The fact is that stones will be extracted from that land,' Salim said. Documents indicate that the coal mining lease process remains incomplete, and no private company applied to mine the block even after two deadline extensions in 2025. In November 2023, the state government authorised WBPDCL to mine basalt on 431.47 acres, with an estimated profit of Rs 5,600 crore. In June 2024, Pachami Basalt Mining PrivateLimited was incorporated in Kolkata. Neither Sturdy Niketan nor Pachami Basalt Mining Private Limited has an official website, and their corporate listing links to Basalt mining began in Deucha-Pachami site in February this year, but locals demanded a permanent halt, citing severe environmental and health hazards and alleging that forest land was cleared without informing the resident tribal communities.
