Chandrababu Naidu announced during the Pan-IIT Andhra Pradesh Summit on Saturday that quantum computing operations in Amaravati would begin on February 3, 2027, in collaboration with IBM, TCS, and L&T. This development will transform Andhra Pradesh from a consumer to a producer and exporter of quantum hardware systems. The 'Pan-IIT World Council' will be established in Amaravati to guide curriculum reforms, promote startups, and provide mentorship to support the state's aspiration to become a global knowledge hub. A ₹500 crore venture fund corpus will be created to foster deep-tech startup companies. IIT-style labs, such as Q-Shiva, have already begun operating in Amaravati.
