Aditya Ravi

Aditya is the co-founder of Quanara Consulting, a quantum consulting firm focused on helping Indian enterprises explore real-world applications of quantum technologies. With a background in Industrial Engineering and experience at Volkswagen Automotive Cloud, he worked on scaling connected vehicle platforms using data-driven product strategies.

His interest in quantum computing was sparked after attending a Microsoft-hosted seminar in Redmond, where he saw its potential to solve large-scale challenges in optimization and secure communication. Motivated by this, he returned to India to spend nearly a year researching the domestic quantum landscape, engaging with experts across academia, government, and industry.

He will be pursuing a Master’s in Physics (Quantum Computing focus) at UW–Madison, with the goal of building deep technical expertise to drive India’s transition into the quantum era.
