I appreciate the people involved in it sir. But sometimes it looks looking it at the team more govt. bodies. There is urgent requirement to include distinguished researchers and engineers especially young mass to make the mission rapid growth towards device fabrication and realtime making quantum computers etc. As India has lots of potential manpower working in this area.

1moGood to see prompt action from DST and NQM team! Hopefully, the mission appoints industry experienced CEOs, (having been there done that), built and scaled companies from startup to multi-100 miilion dollars in revenue and successfully delivered products to strategically and tactically drive each of the iHubs to success and sustainability post the 8 years of incubation! Besides sustainability, national security and growth at stake!!!
