Accelerating quantum and quantum inspired innovation for global enterprises, Strangeworks and Tech Mahindra formalise their collaboration through a new MOU.
Strangeworks, a quantum computing software company with operations in Austin and India, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Tech Mahindra to accelerate the development of quantum and quantum inspired optimisation solutions for global enterprises. The partnership aims to address complex computational challenges across industries such as finance, pharmaceuticals, supply chain, logistics, insurance and energy, where traditional computing struggles with large scale variables and exponential data growth.
Under the agreement, Strangeworks will provide its quantum and quantum inspired AI platform, offering backend optimisers and managed cloud access to quantum hardware from leading global providers. Tech Mahindra will design and deliver industry specific solutions on top of this platform, enabling customers to adopt a standardised, scalable and hardware agnostic approach. This will allow seamless integration with multiple quantum hardware vendors and support faster development of enterprise grade optimisation tools.
Strangeworks will also train Tech Mahindra engineers on its software stack, equipping them with specialised expertise and ensuring efficient access to multiple quantum compute systems. Both organisations will work closely to identify customer needs and jointly develop tailored solutions.
Nikhil Malhotra, Chief Innovation Officer at Tech Mahindra, said rising data volumes and complex decision models are pushing enterprises beyond the limits of conventional computing, making advanced computational techniques essential. The collaboration combines Strangeworks’ quantum capabilities with Tech Mahindra’s domain expertise to help customers accelerate decision making and operational efficiency.
Tech Mahindra has been expanding its quantum research efforts with a focus on real world enterprise applications. Pathy Iyer of Strangeworks said the partnership will benefit organisations seeking to adopt next generation optimisation technologies. Together, the companies aim to equip enterprises with powerful computational tools built for future digital demands.
