QpiAI was established in Bengaluru in 2019 with the objective of combining artificial intelligence, quantum computing and high-performance classical computing. Its multidisciplinary team works across superconducting electronics, semiconductor technology, device physics, quantum algorithms, machine learning, software engineering and high-performance computing.
The Ministry of Defence said the missile was launched on August 6, 2026, under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command. The flight validated all designated operational and technical parameters, indicating that the missile, its mobile launching system, command procedures and supporting tracking infrastructure performed according to mission requirements.
Bengaluru-based Astrome Technologies is developing an Indian alternative for locations where laying fibre is difficult. Its flagship terrestrial product, GigaMesh, uses millimetre-wave radio technology to transmit large quantities of data wirelessly between towers and network sites. Astrome describes the platform as an auto-aligned, multi-beam E-band radio capable of providing fibre-like, multi-gigabit connectivity without requiring trenches or underground cables.
Unlike simpler medical devices that can be assembled from imported components, an MRI scanner requires expertise across superconducting magnets, radio-frequency engineering, gradient coils, image reconstruction, signal processing, embedded electronics, patient-handling systems and clinical software.
Founded in 2010 by semiconductor engineer Himamshu Khasnis and a team of experienced professionals, Signalchip operates as a fabless semiconductor company. It designs the architecture, intellectual property and circuitry of its chips in India while relying on specialised semiconductor foundries for physical fabrication. The company focuses primarily on high-speed wireless technologies such as 3G-WCDMA, 4G-LTE, 5G New Radio and software-defined radio systems.
Chennai-based Mindgrove Technologies is working to change this imbalance. The IIT Madras-incubated fabless semiconductor company designs indigenous system-on-chips for embedded equipment, connected devices, industrial automation and edge-computing applications.
India’s unmanned-aircraft industry has moved rapidly from imported hobby platforms and experimental prototypes to indigenous
The Diving Support Craft programme was initiated through a contract signed between the Ministry of Defence and Titagarh Rail Systems Limited—then known as Titagarh Wagons Limited—on February 12, 2021. The project covers five vessels numbered DSC A20 to DSC A24 and was sanctioned at an overall cost of ₹174.77 crore.
The 16-coach prototype, designed and manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, began its formal trials on July 29, 2026, in the Kota Division of West Central Railway. The Research Designs and Standards Organisation is conducting the extensive evaluation programme along the Kota–Nagda–Sawai Madhopur corridor.
Its most distinctive project is JAL, a microwave-plasma thruster that uses water as its propellant. Instead of carrying highly toxic chemicals or relying entirely on expensive noble gases, the system is designed to convert water into an electrically energised plasma and expel it at high velocity to manoeuvre a spacecraft.
