QCoDE Quantum Centre by Deloitte India at IIT-Bombay’s ASPIRE Research Park bringing global quantum network, academia, startups and industry to help enterprises de-risk investments and build talent.
Deloitte India Launches QCoDE at IIT-Bombay Research Park
Deloitte India has launched its Quantum Centre of Disruption for Enterprises (QCoDE) at the ASPIRE IIT-B Research Park Foundation, located on the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay campus. The centre represents a strategic industry-academia collaboration designed to accelerate quantum adoption, research, and enterprise use-cases for Indian businesses. The launch event took place at IIT-Bombay’s campus in Mumbai, attended by Deloitte leadership, IIT-Bombay officials, startup representatives, technology partners, and industry innovators.
The new centre will bring together Deloitte’s global quantum network, IIT-B’s academic excellence, start-ups, technology partners, and industry innovators to help Indian enterprises de-risk quantum investments, develop use cases, build talent, and transition from experimentation to real-world deployment. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple barriers preventing Indian businesses from adopting quantum technologies.
Centre Integrates Industry, Academia, Startups and Government
Romal Shetty, CEO of Deloitte South Asia, said: “By embedding our centre within IIT-Bombay’s research ecosystem, we are bringing together industry, academia, start-ups and government to accelerate real-world quantum applications. Here our focus goes beyond technology, we want to help Indian enterprises build quantum strategies, develop talent and capture early economic value from quantum-enabled solutions.”
Shetty emphasized that QCoDE’s unique positioning within IIT-Bombay’s research ecosystem enables direct collaboration between quantum researchers and enterprise practitioners. This proximity facilitates rapid knowledge transfer, joint problem-solving, and development of practical quantum applications tailored to Indian business contexts. The centre serves as a bridge connecting theoretical quantum research with commercial implementation.
QCoDE Rewrites Reality Through Quantum Disruption
Dr. Jagdish Bhandarkar, Partner and Chief Disruption Officer at Deloitte South Asia, said: “From bits to qubits and from logic to possibility, every disruption rewrites the rules whereas quantum rewrites reality. QCoDE will ensure Indian enterprises move early, decisively, and at scale while bringing industry and academia together to accelerate practical quantum adoption for Indian enterprises, government and public sectors.”
Bhandarkar’s statement highlights quantum technology’s transformative potential beyond conventional computing improvements. Quantum systems enable fundamentally new approaches to optimization, simulation, cryptography, and machine learning that could reshape industries including finance, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and cybersecurity. QCoDE also aims to position Indian enterprises at the forefront of this technological revolution.
Five Core Functions Support Enterprise Quantum Adoption
QCoDE operates through five core functions that support enterprise quantum adoption. First, the centre helps Indian enterprises de-risk quantum investments by providing expert guidance on technology selection, implementation strategies, and ROI assessment. Second, QCoDE develops use cases by collaborating with businesses to identify quantum-applicable problems and design targeted solutions.
Third, the centre builds talent through training programmes, workshops, and certification courses that equip professionals with quantum computing skills. Fourth, QCoDE facilitates transition from experimentation to real-world deployment by providing technical support, infrastructure access, and implementation guidance. Fifth, the centre also fosters collaboration among stakeholders through networking events, consortium meetings, and joint research initiatives.
Global Quantum Network Connects Indian Enterprises to International Expertise
QCoDE leverages Deloitte’s global quantum network to connect Indian enterprises with international quantum experts, cutting-edge research, and best practices from leading quantum adopters worldwide. The centre also provides access to Deloitte’s quantum research teams across North America, Europe, and Asia, enabling knowledge exchange and collaborative problem-solving.
Indian businesses benefit from global perspectives on quantum strategy development, technology evaluation, and implementation approaches. The global network also facilitates international partnerships, joint ventures, and cross-border quantum projects that expand Indian enterprises’ market reach and technological capabilities.
IIT-Bombay Academic Excellence Provides Research Foundation
IIT-Bombay’s academic excellence provides the research foundation for QCoDE’s activities. The institute’s renowned physics, computer science, and mathematics departments contribute cutting-edge quantum research, including quantum algorithm development, quantum hardware design, and quantum error correction techniques. IIT-Bombay faculty members collaborate with Deloitte experts on joint research projects addressing enterprise challenges.
Students from IIT-Bombay participate in QCoDE’s training programmes, internships, and research projects, gaining practical quantum computing experience alongside theoretical knowledge. This pipeline ensures future quantum professionals understand both academic research and business applications, preparing them for careers in quantum technology companies.
Startups and Technology Partners Drive Innovation
Startups and technology partners drive innovation at QCoDE by bringing emerging quantum technologies, novel business models, and disruptive approaches to the enterprise ecosystem. The centre also collaborates with quantum startups developing hardware, software, and application-layer solutions, providing them with access to enterprise customers and funding opportunities.
Technology partners including quantum computing hardware providers, cloud platform operators, and software developers contribute tools, platforms, and expertise that enable enterprises to experiment with quantum technologies without significant infrastructure investment. These partnerships create a comprehensive quantum ecosystem supporting enterprise adoption.
QCoDE Positions Indian Enterprises for Quantum Future
QCoDE’s launch positions Indian enterprises for success in the quantum future by providing comprehensive support across the quantum adoption journey. The centre addresses critical barriers including lack of expertise, uncertainty about business value, and difficulty accessing quantum technologies. Indian businesses gain competitive advantages through early quantum adoption, positioning themselves as leaders in quantum-enabled industries.
The quantum innovation hub represents a significant step toward building India’s quantum technology ecosystem, combining industry expertise, academic research, startup innovation, and government support. QCoDE’s success will also influence quantum adoption strategies across Indian enterprises, government agencies, and public sector organizations, accelerating the nation’s transition to quantum-enabled operations.
Deloitte India’s QCoDE at IIT-Bombay establishes a foundational infrastructure for quantum technology adoption in India, enabling enterprises to navigate quantum complexity, build necessary capabilities, and capture economic value from quantum-enabled solutions while contributing to India’s broader quantum technology development goals.
