About

A small team. A long horizon.

QSpace Labs is based in Bengaluru and Chennai, incubated at iTNT Venture Studio, and an alumnus of the AWS Space Accelerator. We are building a company around mission-grade engineering, fast learning loops, and quantum-secure infrastructure that survives contact with the real world.

Team

The people building it.

Small by design. Close to the problem. Focused on turning serious engineering into systems that ship.

Ritesh Balayan

Founder & CEO

Theoretical physics, communication systems, and early deep-tech venture building.

Shiva

COO

Operations, business strategy, and scaling early-stage deep-tech ventures from concept to deployment.

Guruprasad

Team Member

Contributes to core systems design, integration, and field deployment across the QSpace product stack.

Rahul

Team Member

Focused on hardware-software integration, testing frameworks, and real-world system validation.

Values

How we work.

The company should reflect the engineering culture we want to exist: serious, useful, and pointed at real outcomes.

Meaningful engineering

We care about engineering that creates durable mission outcomes — not theatrics, vanity metrics, or performative announcements. The work should make the system more useful, more reliable, and more deployable in the real world.

Physics into product

We translate difficult science into systems operators can actually use. Progress means fewer fragile demos and more repeatable capability.

Trust over noise

The bar is not whether something looks advanced. The bar is whether a customer can depend on it when the mission matters.

Advisors

An external edge where it counts.

We rely on specialists who sharpen the technical path, challenge assumptions, and help us stay pointed at meaningful milestones.

Advisor

Mandeep

Guidance on strategic direction, ecosystem positioning, and deep-tech commercialisation pathways.

Advisor

Pr Soumya

Input on quantum science fundamentals, protocol realism, and bridging laboratory-grade research to deployable systems.
