NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, the consumer tech venture founded by Madhav Sheth, has announced the launch of its first AI+ smartphone in India. The device will be available on Flipkart by the end of June 2025 and represents a fully localised mobile experience – designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in India.
The AI+ smartphone brand is positioned around three pillars: a Made-in-India vision, secure and responsible technology, and accessibility for first-time smartphone users. According to the company, the device is built with homegrown hardware and software, and features a native user interface tailored for Indian consumers.
Flipkart will serve as the exclusive online platform for the AI+ smartphone, leveraging its affordability programmes such as no-cost EMIs, bank discounts, and exchange offers to broaden access to the device. The collaboration also highlights Flipkart’s ongoing role in expanding digital access across the country, particularly among budget-conscious and first-time smartphone buyers.
The AI+ smartphone comes at a time when consumer awareness around digital safety is rising. The brand claims the device is built to meet high standards of data security and privacy, with a clear focus on earning user trust through responsible technology practices.
Commenting on the partnership, Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President – Mobiles at Flipkart, said, “We’re proud to launch AI+ smartphone that reflects the spirit of Indian innovation and self-reliance. This collaboration underscores Flipkart’s role in expanding smartphone access across the country and empowering consumers through value-driven, secure, and modern devices.”
Madhav Sheth, Founder & CEO of NxtQuantum, added, “The launch of AI+ marks a milestone in our journey to redefine what India can build for the world. Flipkart’s reach and market insight make them an ideal partner to introduce a smartphone that’s built on trust, simplicity, and accessibility.”
The pricing and detailed specifications of the AI+ smartphone are expected to be revealed closer to launch.
