Bengaluru-based deeptech startup Quanfluence has raised $10 million (around Rs 92 crore) in a funding round led by Chiratae Ventures, with participation from Rainmatter by Zerodha and Pi Ventures. Founded in 2021 by Sujoy Chakravarty, Ravi Mehta, Biman Chattopadhyay, Aditi Vaidya, Anil Prabhakar, and Sandeep Goyal, the IIT-Madras incubated startup develops full-stack photonic quantum computing architectures. Quanfluence has already commercialised its optical Ising machine, running paid pilots with corporate clients, and plans to deploy early quantum processors by 2027 before scaling machines by 2029.
