The people behind Qaulium
Minds building the quantum stack.
A small, deliberate team working across quantum hardware, photonics, simulation, and the developer tooling that ties them together.

Founders
- Janaki Ram
Setting the direction for software-defined quantum infrastructure.
Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer - Nandhan Golla
Owns the technical direction from photonics up to the SDK.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer - Bale Sailesh
Turns the plan into something the company can actually execute.

Designs the optical path the whole machine depends on.
Neha leads photonics at Qaulium AI, designing and characterising the optical systems at the heart of the hardware. The work lives in the gap between an optical bench that works and a component that survives manufacturing.
Owns
- Leads optical design and photonic integration
- Characterises loss, noise, and stability budgets
- Takes optical subsystems from bench to build

Mohit works on the NIRVANA control stack - the layer that translates an abstract instruction into a signal a physical system will actually honour. Much of the job is measurement, calibration, and chasing down noise.
Owns
- Builds control and calibration routines for NIRVANA
- Characterises hardware behaviour and error sources
- Closes the loop between firmware and physics

Manas Vamsi manages product at Qaulium AI, turning what researchers and engineers ask for into a roadmap the team can commit to. The work is mostly prioritisation - weighing hardware constraints, platform capability, and user need until the next release has a clear reason to exist.
Owns
- Owns the product roadmap and release priorities
- Translates user and partner needs into requirements
- Aligns engineering, research, and go-to-market on scope

Uday Kiran works on the cryogenic and mechanical systems that hold Qaulium hardware in a regime where it behaves. Thermal budgets, vacuum, vibration, and the test rigs that prove any of it is working.
Owns
- Designs cryogenic and thermal subsystems
- Builds test rigs and measurement setups
- Owns mechanical integration and assembly

Full profileDesigns the signal chain that drives the hardware.
Raghu designs the RF and electronics that carry control signals into the quantum hardware and measurements back out. Much of the job is signal integrity, shielding, and hunting down noise that has no business being there.
Owns
- Designs RF chains and control electronics
- Owns PCB design and signal integrity
- Characterises and suppresses system noise

Sriram runs marketing at Qaulium AI, turning genuinely complicated technology into something a reader can follow without a physics degree. Positioning, launches, and content that reaches researchers and engineers where they already are.
Owns
- Owns positioning, messaging, and launches
- Leads content and campaign strategy
- Grows reach across research and developer audiences

Rishi runs people operations at Qaulium AI - hiring, onboarding, and the everyday structures that make a deep-tech team a decent place to work. Recruiting for a field this specialised is its own engineering problem.
Owns
- Owns recruiting and the hiring pipeline
- Runs onboarding and people operations
- Shapes culture, policy, and internal comms

Gagan leads web development at Qaulium AI, owning the public site and the web surfaces around the platform. Performance, accessibility, and the kind of polish that only gets noticed when it is missing.
Owns
- Owns the Qaulium website end to end
- Builds web surfaces for the platform
- Leads performance, SEO, and accessibility

There is room for one more.
We hire for curiosity over credentials. If quantum infrastructure is the problem you want to spend years on, we should talk.
