AI+ marks the spot Madhav Sheth drops first look of India-first phone
MUMBAI: Looks like India’s smartphone game is about to get a homegrown glow-up. Madhav Sheth, one of India’s most recognisable tech disruptors, has just dropped the official logo for AI+, the upcoming device from his new venture, Nxtquantum Shift Technologies. It’s not just a sleek reveal, it’s a statement of intent.
With a philosophy rooted in India-first innovation, AI+ aims to redefine how we think about smartphones not just as devices, but as intelligent, secure and purposeful extensions of our lives.
“For us, AI+ is more than a product; it’s a mindset,” said Nxtquantum Shift Technologies founder & CEO Madhav Sheth. “It reflects our belief that India can not only participate in the global tech ecosystem but lead it, with design and purpose that reflect how people truly live and connect.”
While the phone and its OS are still under wraps, the logo hints at Sheth’s signature blend of ambition and intuition: futuristic but grounded, sharp but human. And perhaps most importantly built entirely in India.
The upcoming smartphone will be available on Flipkart, with the e-commerce giant’s reach and customer insights expected to play a key role in AI+’s nationwide rollout. With this partnership, the product promises to meet users right where they are on a platform they already trust, delivering tech they didn’t know they needed.
The full product reveal is slated for the coming months, but if the logo is anything to go by, AI+ is not just another launch, it’s a quiet disruption, set to make a loud impact.
