What The Quantum Hub does

The Quantum Hub (TQH) is a New Delhi-based public policy consulting firm founded in 2017 by Rohit Kumar and Aparajita Bharti. The firm provides research and analysis, advocacy and communications, strategic advisory, convenings and thought leadership, capacity building, and coalition-building services. It is organized around four thematic practice areas: Telecom & Digital Public Infrastructure; Urbanization, Sustainability & Climate; Technology Policy & Regulation; and Accessibility, Inclusion & Social Justice.

TQH serves three primary customer segments — government and policymakers, industry and corporate sector (particularly in technology, digital infrastructure, and emerging tech), and civil society organizations. The firm blends rigorous policy monitoring with strategic communications to translate research into advocacy and engagement with decision-makers.

TQH operates as a professional services firm and does not develop software products, platforms, or proprietary AI/ML systems. Revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm's competitive positioning rests on a senior team with credentials from Harvard Kennedy School and IIT Bombay and prior experience at PRS Legislative Research, the office of an Indian Member of Parliament, and Boston Consulting Group. TQH also operates a sister concern, Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC), founded in 2016, which focuses on citizen engagement and governance. Distribution is anchored by thought-leadership outputs including op-eds in major Indian outlets and substantive research reports on DPI, AI governance, online safety, and disability inclusion.
