Mysuru: Mysore Quantum AI (MQA), a not-for-profit foundation and think tank dedicated to advancing quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) within the Mysuru ecosystem, has been launched. The initiative is powered by Excelsoft Technologies and supported by ecosystem and community partners, including KDEM, TiE Mysuru, SJCE-STEP and Young Indians.
Launch Announcement and Vision
Announcing the launch, Adarsh Sudhindra, founding member of Mysore Quantum AI and chief innovation officer at Excelsoft Technologies, stated that quantum computing and artificial intelligence are expected to influence the next generation of computing systems, industrial technologies and advanced research. He explained, "The idea behind Mysore Quantum AI is to make these emerging technologies more approachable and accessible through practical learning and community participation. A large part of the current conversation around quantum and AI is still concentrated within niche circles. We want to open this to a wider audience."
Key Attendees at the Launch
Shiva Shankar, chief executive of JSS SJCE-STEP; Bhaskar Kalale, president of TiE Mysuru; Suresh Bhograj, pro-chancellor of JSS AHER Mysuru and director of JSS Mahavidyapeetha; and Sudhanva Dhananjaya, chairman and MD of Excelsoft, were present on the occasion.
Initial Activities and Future Plans
As part of its initial activities, Mysore Quantum AI recently conducted a session titled ‘Save 5 Hours Every Week with AI’, which focused on practical AI workflows, prompting techniques and real-world use cases that participants could directly apply within their day-to-day work environments. The platform plans to conduct more such talks and sessions involving external experts, researchers, educators and ecosystem participants working across quantum computing, AI and advanced technology domains.
