Mr. Bhagvan Kommadi has 20 years of experience in information technology. He has worked with various Fortune 100 companies globally. He worked in a company in the USA for 12 long years. Mr. Bhagvan holds a master’s degree in industrial systems engineering from Georgia Tech and a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace engineering from IIT Chennai. After living in the USA for more than 7 years, flew back to India as he wanted to stay closer to his parents, his family members, culture, and had a strong desire to contribute to his motherland. He has been providing free mentoring sessions across schools and colleges.
He is a mentor for IIT Chennai students for entrepreneurship. He was mentoring a group in the evening about their Quantum Virtual Machine – a simulator idea. It was two IIT Phd students who were very passionate about the Simulator. They came up with the idea of developing in-house virtual quantum simulators and algorithms, which can bridge the gap between quantum machines and commercial demands. Being the first of its kind initiative in India, the company was named Quantica Computacao (In latin – Quantum computer). They created the first Indian startup in the field of quantum computing. The team started developing python, JavaScript, and C++-based simulators. The code developed can be executed on IBM, Google, and Rigetti Cloud environments for Quantum Computing. We put effort towards developing generalized applications which compile on top of multiple quantum micro-architectures.
Initial focus was to build a technology product. It was just the passion to build the first quantum computing startup and the product. JPMC,GMO, and Israeli Customer Ecitele are Quantica’s customers who are using QKD and other solutions.
By the end of the year 2022, the current team is planning to partner with at least 10 financial institutions so that they can develop algorithms and software for advanced quantum cryptography. Automotive customer WABCO was interested in the solutions for their optimization and planning problems. Rwanda Government was interested in engaging them in the creation of COE in quantum computing partnering with Carnegie Mellon university. They have launched an open-source project related to Monte Carlo simulations on Quantum Computer for Financial services problems. The team is working on launching India’s own Quantum Cloud Services and Quantum Network.
He has written Books, presented Podcasts, spoke in conferences, and written Blogs – evangelizing quantum computing. He is part of the Quantum computing Think Tank group and was Rapporteur of the Smart City Governance Working Group. He has contributed to the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). He mentors NASSCOM 10k startups through Ask Mentor. He has participated in Teach For change initiative in Hyderabad and in the Safe Cities initiative, which was focussing on women’s security through mobile apps.
Bhagvan is currently working with Value Momentum as Director of Product Engineering. Value Momentum develops products in insurance and health care. He is a man with an optimistic approach in all circumstances and hoping to help with the goal of a more robust and self-reliant India.
