About
QuPrayog is a Pune-based quantum technology startup founded in August 2024 as a spinout from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune. It was co-founded by Dr. Rahul Sawant, a faculty fellow at the I-Hub Quantum Technologies Foundation, and Dr. Jay Mangaonkar, a postdoctoral fellow at IISER Pune. The company develops quantum sensing and metrology equipment, specializing in portable optical atomic clocks, Titanium Sapphire laser systems, and optical frequency combs that offer order-of-magnitude improvements over radio-frequency atomic clocks. QuPrayog was selected as one of eight startups for support under India's National Quantum Mission and the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems, chosen through a competitive process run by the I-Hub Quantum Technology Foundation. Its work on quantum timing, precision measurement, and quantum sensing serves navigation, telecommunications, scientific research, and critical infrastructure, contributing to India's quantum technology development and self-reliance in quantum sensing.
