Cybersecurity — cognitive defence.
Reading the human and system signals that precede a breach. (Productised as StressTrace.)
Our story
We spent three years proving it works. Then we started the company.
Most startups raise money on a slide deck and figure out the science later. We did it backwards — on purpose.
Explainer
The complete quantum ecosystem & PQC journey.
The microwave went from a defence radar lab to every kitchen in twelve years. We're doing that for quantum.
Timeline
2014 — A dream begins.
Started with a dream — making the seemingly impossible possible: quantum as a service, for everyday business and people, for real-world problem resolutions.
2015 — Deep learning and quieter qubits.
Deep learning research and reduction of noise in quantum keys — battling academic challenges.
2023 — Born in the lab.
Two founders, decades of banking and pharma experience between them, building quantum and AI systems in research mode. No outside funding, no shortcuts — self-funded, running on steam, hope, and idli with drumstick sambar.
2024–2025 — Proof on paper.
The research was published as citable SSRN preprints, with one paper also in press at the International Journal of Quantum Technologies. Public, checkable work.
May 2026 — Open for business.
Jumpstart AI and Quantum Labs Private Limited registered. Products live. Standard deployment: 90 days, inside your own infrastructure.
The big idea
From a classified lab to your kitchen — again.
In 1945, radar was military-only — room-sized, classified, accessible to a handful of physicists. Twelve years later, the same physics sat in every kitchen as a microwave. The path from "national lab" to "household appliance" is not magic; it is engineering, plus the right service wrapper.
Quantum is at that exact moment now. The science is real, but it lives in papers and national labs. The companies that need it most — banks, hospitals, defence ministries, governments — can't hire physicists by the dozen and don't want to.
So we move quantum to where it pays for itself: your fraud engine, your scanners, your security operations room. Not as hardware. As a service.
You don't need a quantum lab to use quantum. You need a service. That's us.
From the lab
Built in a research lab — then proven with partners.
JAQL began as a research lab, and it still works like one. From that lab we develop quantum-inspired solutions for high-stakes domains — cybersecurity, diagnostics, forensic toxicology, and sports cognition — and we partner with institutions to validate them on real data before we ever call them finished. The science is published first: our work is available as citable preprints, so anyone can check the thinking behind the products.
Diagnostics — doing more with less data.
Compressing medical scan data while keeping it usable.
Forensic toxicology — faster, safer answers.
Research collaboration with a poison-control centre to speed unknown-toxin identification, with a clinician always in the loop.
Sports cognition — performance under pressure.
Reading cognitive readiness and collapse risk that classical stats miss.

We publish before we sell. If the science isn't public, we don't claim it.
How we work
Four commitments. No exceptions.
We build, we don't theorize.
Every product was designed, coded, and deployed by the two founders. The people who wrote the science are the people on your call.
Your data never leaves your building.
Everything runs inside your own infrastructure — built for places where the law says data stays home: India's DPDPA, the Gulf's NESA and data-residency rules, Australia's APRA regime.
We deploy in 90 days.
A working system, measured in money saved, inside one quarter.
We localise — language, domain and rulebook.
Interface and documentation in English, Hindi, Arabic, German, Japanese and Mandarin, plus full Indian-language support across Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Bengali. Software is engineered to your domain, region and regulatory framework — DPDPA, RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, CERT-In (India); PDPL, NESA, SAMA, ADGM/DIFC (Gulf); GDPR, DORA, EU AI Act (Europe); APPI/FSA (Japan); PIPL/MLPS 2.0 (China-facing); APRA CPS 234/230 (Australia); HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST CSF (US).

For investors
Bootstrapped since 2023. Raising our first outside round.
We funded three years of research and our first pilots ourselves. We're now raising an angel round to carry live pilots to revenue and position for Series A.
Uses of funds: converting pilots into paid contracts, certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2), and Gulf market entry.
