Ai+ Smartphone is here! The phone India has been waiting for. -

Designed in India. Privacy-first. Performance-driven. India’s Smartphone for the World.

New Delhi : In a landmark moment for India’s digital future, NxtQuantum today launched the Ai+ Smartphone, India’s first fully authored smartphone, built entirely in India, governed on Indian infrastructure, and designed to deliver world-class performance with uncompromising data privacy. The launch was led by Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai+ Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, alongside Shashikumar Sreedharan, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, and Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President-Mobiles, Flipkart. More than just a product launch, Ai marks a bold new direction in mobile innovation, where performance meets purpose, and users gain true control over how their data is stored, accessed, and protected.

Built entirely in India and powered by NxtQuantum OS, India’s first sovereign mobile operating system, the Ai+ Smartphone combines high performance, affordability, and privacy in one seamless experience. It offers Indian users an alternative to foreign-built devices and opaque software ecosystems, giving them full visibility and control over their data. With this launch, NxtQuantum aims to redefine what ownership, transparency, and digital trust should look like in the smartphone era.

Unveiled by Madhav Sheth and built by his team at NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, the Ai+ Smartphone lineup features two smartphones, Pulse and Nova 5G, each available in five bold colours, all running on NxtQuantum OS, India’s first sovereign mobile operating system. With Ai Smartphone, India isn’t just assembling phones anymore. It’s building its own digital foundation. “Ai+ Smartphone is about putting control back in the hands of Indian users,” said Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies. “For years, we’ve relied on phones and platforms that were never made with India in mind. Ai+ Smartphone changes that. These phones are fast, beautifully designed, and most importantly, they keep your data safe,” he added.

Ai+ smartphones are manufactured in India by United Telelinks (Bangalore) Limited at their Noida Factory, reinforcing NxtQuantum’s long-term commitment to building sovereign digital infrastructure, starting from the factory floor. Everything from software to supply chain has been aligned to India’s priorities. But what makes Ai+ Smartphone truly different isn’t just where it’s made, but what it’s made for. From long battery life and high-definition displays to dual SIM flexibility and enhanced camera performance, the Ai+ Smartphone is designed with the needs of people in India in mind, focusing on how they live, work, learn, and connect. The phones support regional languages, local content, and a customisable experience through NxtQuantum’s Theme Designer Tool.

Why India Needs Ai+ Smartphones Now

India is the world’s second-largest smartphone market, with more than 800 million users. Yet most smartphones today still run on foreign software and route user data through third-party systems outside the country. That means little visibility and even less control.

Ai+ Smartphone is designed to fix that. Every Ai+ Smartphone runs on NxtQuantum OS, a built-in India operating system with a zero-trust security architecture. All personal data, from app preferences to backups, is stored securely in India, utilising MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India)-empanelled Google Cloud Regions.

Now Available on Flipkart

The full Ai+ Smartphone lineup is now live on Flipkart and other channels, starting at just Rs 4499. Phones are available in a variety of bold colours and storage options. “At Flipkart, we’ve seen growing demand for smartphones that are not just affordable but trustworthy,” said Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President – Mobiles, Flipkart. “We’re proud to bring Ai+ Smartphone to our customers, a product that blends performance, privacy, and purpose.” Ai+ Smartphone isn’t just a new smartphone line. It’s a new way forward. For the first time, Indian users can choose a phone that’s built in India, governed in India, keeps their data safe, and puts them fully in control. With Ai+ Smartphone, NxtQuantum isn’t just launching devices it is building digital confidence.

About the Industry

India is one of the fastest-growing smartphone markets in the world, with an estimated size of ₹60,000 crore and a CAGR of approximately 8%. Despite this growth, the industry remains heavily dependent on foreign brands-75% of the market is controlled by Chinese companies, and another 20% by Korean and American players. Indian smartphone brands account for less than 5% of total volume.

This foreign dominance raises critical concerns around data privacy, infrastructure security, and digital autonomy. As smartphones increasingly store sensitive personal information-including biometrics like fingerprints and facial recognition-questions around where that data resides, who controls it, and how it is protected are becoming national priorities.

In this context, the need for India-built, regulation-aligned, and privacy-first mobile platforms has never been more urgent.
