Ai+ Smartphone has announced Project Trust+, a long-term initiative aimed at strengthening mobile ecosystem security through community collaboration. The company has pledged ₹20 crore annually over the next five years—totaling a ₹100 crore commitment—to engage independent developers, ethical hackers, and cybersecurity researchers.
The program invites the tech community to stress-test Ai+ devices, examine system architectures, and identify potential vulnerabilities before they affect end users.
Moving Beyond Standard Bug Bounties
Project Trust+ aims to expand upon traditional security bounty programs by creating a continuous feedback loop between external security experts and internal engineering teams.
Key pillars of the initiative include:
- Continuous Stress Testing: Inviting independent researchers to challenge security protocols in real-time.
- Proactive Vulnerability Mitigation: Identifying and patching software flaws prior to consumer deployment.
- Open Community Collaboration: Fostering an environment of transparency, peer review, and public accountability.
The company’s approach reflects a broader push toward open security frameworks in consumer hardware, prioritizing long-term resilience over static security promises.
Alignment with NxtQuantum OS
Project Trust+ integrates with Ai+ Smartphone’s broader software strategy, particularly NxtQuantum OS—the brand’s sovereign mobile operating system initiative. Built around privacy-first architecture and user ownership, NxtQuantum OS is designed to provide an alternative mobile environment focused on data protection and accessible performance.

Commenting on the announcement, Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai+ Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, said:
Most companies tell users their devices are secure. We want to prove it. The reality is that no smartphone, no platform, and no technology ecosystem can claim security as a finished destination. It evolves every day. Project Trust+ reflects our belief that trust should be built transparently and collaboratively. We are opening our doors to India’s technology community because we believe the safest products are built not in isolation, but together.
