SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) announced its participation in the inauguration of Kaynes Semicon's semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand, Gujarat, which includes the first phase of a planned post-quantum cryptography personalization center. The event was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and broadcast nationally.

The facility represents what the companies describe as India's first center dedicated to large-scale personalization of quantum-safe semiconductor devices. The center will be embedded within the Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test facility and aims to enable end-to-end semiconductor production within India-controlled infrastructure.

SEALSQ's QS7001 microcontroller implements post-quantum cryptographic standards established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2024, including ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA algorithms. The chip is designed for applications including industrial sensors, digital identity programs, and government systems.

The personalization center will operate under SEALKAYNESQ Ltd, a joint venture being established by SEALSQ and Kaynes Semicon following a letter of intent signed in January 2026. The center plans to use FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified hardware security modules and will deploy an India-sovereign intermediate Certificate Authority.

"Our partnership with Kaynes and the launch of this PQC Personalization Center represent a critical step in enabling India to secure its digital future," said Carlos Moreira, founder and CEO of SEALSQ Corp.

The initiative is being developed in coordination with India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The companies stated the center aims to serve markets across South and Southeast Asia, with devices flowing into IoT ecosystems, digital identity programs, and industrial networks.
