Project Overview
QMail is our vision to revolutionize email security by combining quantum cryptography, artificial intelligence, and modern UX design—technically advanced yet intuitive and user-friendly.
Inspiration
"Coming from different backgrounds in quantum computing, AI, and web development, we saw an opportunity to create something unique in the email security space."
— Garv Seth
Our shared concern about quantum-era threats and opportunities drove us to build QMail. As Murugan explains, "Quantum computers threaten today’s encryption but also unlock next-generation security."
