The official launch event was spearheaded by Madhav Sheth, CEO of Ai+ Smartphone and Founder of NxtQuantum Shift Technologies. He was joined by Shashikumar Sreedharan, Managing Director of Google Cloud India, and Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President of Mobiles at Flipkart. Together, they highlighted the aim to redefine mobile phone development by merging cutting-edge performance with robust data control.
The Ai+ Smartphone, running on NxtQuantum OS, represents a clear alternative to foreign-made devices and software, giving Indian users greater control over their personal data. NxtQuantum’s mission is to disrupt the smartphone market by promoting transparency, data security, and digital trust.
Madhav Sheth explained, “The Ai+ Smartphone is about putting control back in the hands of Indian users. For years, we’ve relied on phones and platforms that were never designed with India in mind. Ai+ Smartphone changes that. These phones are fast, well-designed, and most importantly, they keep your data safe.”
Models and Features
The Ai+ Smartphone lineup features two models: Pulse and Nova 5G. Both models are available in five vibrant colors: Blue, Black, Green, Purple, and Pink. They all run on the locally developed NxtQuantum OS and are produced in India by United Telelinks (Bangalore) Limited at their Noida Factory, aligning with NxtQuantum’s long-term goal of enhancing local digital infrastructure.
From the software to the supply chain, every aspect of the Ai+ Smartphone is tailored to reflect India’s priorities. The smartphones support regional languages, offer local content, and provide a customizable experience via NxtQuantum’s Theme Designer Tool. Notable features such as extended battery life, high-definition displays, dual SIM support, and enhanced camera performance have been designed specifically with Indian consumers in mind.
India, currently the second-largest smartphone market globally with over 800 million users, faces a growing concern over user data privacy. Many smartphones today rely on foreign software and route user data through third-party servers outside the country. The Ai+ Smartphone addresses this concern by storing all personal data securely in India, with the infrastructure managed via MeitY-approved Google Cloud Regions.
